Our route led us through Grand Junction and on to Palisade. Palisade is kind of like the Okanagan of Colorado in that it is famous for its wine and fruit. The Meadery of the Rockies was right beside the highway and we could not resist stopping in for a quick sip. I am sorry to all the winos out there but Mead beats wine by far! So delicious. They had mead infused with all kinds of good things such as raspberries, cherries and peaches. Mmmmmm. Gotta have a glass.
The staff was exceptionally friendly. Brian the wine/mead maker even invited us to come check out their botteling operation.
Next stop was the Meadery's sister winery St. Kathryn Cellars. They have free fudge samples to try and a great selection of grape wines as well as various fruit wines. The best of them all was the lavender wine. Slightly sweet and so refreshing. CHEERS!!!
