Colorado Mountain Winefest

Third Saturday of September, annualPalisade, United StatesWine Tasting$45 - $85

America's highest-altitude wine festival, held at Riverbend Park in Palisade against the dramatic backdrop of the Grand Mesa and Colorado National Monument. The 35th annual edition in 2026 is going intentionally smaller — under 2,000 attendees — creating an intimate festival format with Colorado's best mountain wineries. The Grand Junction/Palisade valley produces surprisingly serious wines from Cabernet Franc and Riesling.
