Part of the Grand Junction Metropolitan Area, Palisade is a quaint town just east of Grand Junction off of the I-70.
A farm rich valley surrounded by some of the best recreational opportunities in Colorado, like fishing, hiking, biking, golfing and skiing. Sample some of Palisade’s estate bottled and small batch wine that have left sommeliers on both coasts smacking their lips appreciatively.
Get to know the local creative community; including oil, pastel and watercolor artists, sculptors, and glass and clay artists and attend one of the many festivals and farmers markets.
Named for the cliffs near the town site, Palisade is known for its peach orchards and wine vineyards, and fresh fruit almost all year long. The constant sunshine makes Palisade "The Peach Capital of Colorado".
