Colorado’s Wine Country

Hey there blog buds!

As mentioned on the FitFeat Facebook page, it’s been quiet around here due to a little getaway we took to the wine country area of Colorado:  Grand Junction/Palisade/Fruita.

I may come back and narrate these further at another time, but for now I’ll let the pictures do the talking.

Someone has the best seat in the house for this road trip.

 

Getting closer

 

Welcome to Wine Country!

 

Baby grapes!

 

Vineyards seem very Type A. I think I could be a winemaker for that reason alone. :)

I want to change my street name to Reisling Road or Cabernet Court!

 

Driving through the Colorado Monument National Park

Just gorgeous.

 

Independence Monument

 

Rascal says sightseeing is thirsty-making work...

 

I agree with Rascal.

 

So does Cory. :)

 

Peach St Distillers

The Vodka Vat. (Not really, I just made that up. It holds something alcoholic, that I'm sure of.)

 

"Goat Vodka"

 

Peach Mojito?? YES!!

 

I assume the Peach Mojitos are made with these Palisade Peaches

 

The Ale House

 

The Meadery - fermented honey wine of all kinds. Good stuff.

 

I swear I did more than just guzzle drinks the whole time.

 

What, no seatbelt law in Palisade...? Or even a "seat" law for that matter. This guy was riding on the tailgate.

 

What mini-vacations are made for...
