SPRING BARREL TASTING TIME!
Colorado's Grand Valley stretches from Fruita to Palisade, just west of Grand Junction, with terrain averaging 4,700 feet above sea level. At this altitude our grapes receive very intense sun, almost 300 days a year. Combine this with our warm, dry days and cool nights, and you have a micro-climate that is ideal for producing wine grapes with intense flavors and wonderful balance.

The Grand Valley Winery Association's eight member wineries have joined together to share their unique histories, traditions and innovations with wine lovers during annual Spring Barrel Tasting events April 25-26 and May 16-17.
