Wine, beer and mead made nearby

Wine touring is getting very popular in the Grand Valley. The wine quality just keeps getting better, to the point where Costco (a large warehouse-type grocery and home goods chain) has started selling some of the wines from the area! A recent survey for Grand Junction Visitor and Convention Bureau shows that 37.34% of visitors came to Grand Junction and Mesa County for winery tasting and tours. Beer and mead might also interest wine themed visitors to the area. The Meadery of the Rockies makes this ancient liquor from golden Colorado honey and can educate you on its delights in their tasting room. Kannah Creek Brewing Company, Rockslide Brew Pub and Edgewater Brewery offer beer lovers a taste of Western Colorado high-desert suds and a full menu for lunch and dinner.

With the Tapestry Lounge onsite you will be able to taste most of the local wines and beers in the comfort of your hotel. After all, you wouldn’t want to get a DUI from the local police force!

The central location of Colorado Wine Country Inn puts you in easy reach of the Grand Mesa, a great place to explore winter or summer. If you have an all-wheel drive vehicle, high-clearance vehicle (pickup truck), or mountain bike drive up the breath-taking Land’s End Road and get a big view of the Grand Valley from a place up high where the majestic Golden Eagles soar. Wandering the extensive high-country forests full of wildlife in the Grand Mesa is an outdoor enthusiast’s delight. While summer is the most popular time to visit, winter holds secrets high up on the Grand Mesa that attracts a crowd also. Snowmobilers flock to the immense public lands under deep mountain snows to play for hours on end in this winter playground. Cross-country skiers are fond of this high plateau also.

Fruit and fossils

The Grand Valley is the fruit basket of Colorado. In the summer and fall, taste the goods from roadside stands selling famous Grand Valley peaches, sweet cherries, succulent pears and crisp apples. For geology buffs, the Colorado National Monument entrance is less than thirty minutes away by car. If you plan on visiting the Colorado National Monument, be sure and see the Dinosaur Museum in Fruita as well as Dinosaur Hill, where a 1.5 mile or 2.4 kilometer trail takes you around this well-known quarry where paleontologist Elmer Riggs discovered two thirds of a seventy foot Apatosaurus.
