The Town of Palisade was founded in 1904following more than twenty years of growinginterest in the agricultural potential of the easternend of the Grand Valley. A perfect combinationof sunshine, cool breeze, rich alluvial soils andwater from the Colorado River has made Palisade,Colorado the Peach capital of the state as wellas a wine producing region unparalleled throughoutthe Rocky Mountain west!The Town itself still enjoys a laid back atmospherecomplete with friendly and welcoming residents.Although still under 3,500 souls, Palisade is hometo some of the best restaurants in the valley, and agrowing and popular arts and entertainment district.Don’t forget to stop by downtown Palisade for a lookaround at the shops and restaurants and the town’sbrand new Civic Plaza on the corner of 3rd andMain. From there you can wander northwest acrossthe railroad tracks for a closer look at the PalisadeBrewery and Peach Street Distillers. If you’ve gottime, take a drive around town to visit one of themany top notch wineries that call Palisade home.Just beyond Palisade is quick access to someof the one and half million acres of public landin Mesa County where visitors can find excellenthiking, climbing, skiing, biking and boating.Palisade also enjoys its proximity to the downstreamneighbors of Grand Junction and Fruita, both vibranttowns and well worth a visit. With a little luckand some perseverance, these three towns of theGrand Valley will one day soon be connected bya riverfront bike trail with Palisade’s Riverbend Parkas its eastern anchor!And speaking of Riverbend Park: this stunningvenue is over 110 acres of beautiful riverfrontscenery, complete with pavilions, a playground, aboat launch, fishing ponds, a winding bike pathand the valley’s premiere disc golf course. The parkhas already received a well deserved reputationas an ideal setting for popular events such asPeach Fest (August 13th-16th) and Wine Fest(Sept 17th- 20th), and should be a perfect fitfor Bluegrass and Roots!
