Attended a wine tour; this was one stop. Nice location; friendly staff. Cat lovers. Good wine. More

I visited Carlson Winery on a trip to Grand Junction with my mom. We purchased some wonderful muscat from them. I love dessert wines and I was pleasantly surprised to taste such great wine. Their winery is quaint in the sense, that you would never know there is this beautiful sitting area behind the tasting room with benches where you... More

Very informative and cute tasting room. The cabernet Sauvignon and Dessert Wines were our favorite. No fee to taste 4 wines More

The owner, Parker Carlson, led us through the tasting himself and shared his 25+ years of Palisade wine knowledge with us. It's a relaxed place, no snobbery, very nice. We especially liked the Gewurztraminer, Peach Wine and Cherry Wine with chocolate. We also liked the Tyrannosaurus Red! More

The wine tasting was held outside in the back where it is surronded by grape vines. There are nice chairs to sit in while you sip... More

I enjoyed the laid back atmosphere and beautiful views of the Grand Mesa and Bookcliffs. The Riesling is the best in the state and... More
