START HERE: We have a number of detailed RSVP pages, please read through them carefully and answer accordingly. We appreciate your patience as this may take more than a few minutes. The Palisade Pizza and PourHouse has delicious pizza and drinks for purchase! The venue requests that guests park at one of the following locations: - Palisade Peach Shack U-Pick Tours & Fruit Stand (they own this venue as well, a very short walk, please try and park here) - Behind the building (behind the Palisade Pizza and PourHouse) - IF both of those are full, then you can park in the front - Anyone staying at the Wine Country Inn may also walk over to avoid parking as they are next to each other.

Dress in whatever makes you feel Fall Festive—fun, bright, peachy, and celebratory. Think autumn colors, playful patterns, or anything that feels like October in Palisade, Colorado.
PLEASE READ: The ceremony will be outdoors. After the ceremony small brunch bites will be served and announcements will be made reiterating the optional daytime activities. The cost for these activities ranges from free to ~$65 (eBikes). Each optional daytime activity leaves time to return to your hotel to relax and change before the evening festivities (reception). On the following RSVP pages, RSVP for the optional activities you are most likely to attend at the wedding. Please do not RSVP for all of the optional activities. If you’re planning to join one of the more active options, you may want to wear something comfortable and easy to move in. Fall weather in Palisade ranges from sunny and warm to breezy and cool. P.S. The path to the ceremony is flat earth and crushed stones and is approx 800 ft and unpaved. It is not a challenging path to walk but is worth noting for those wearing high heels or using strollers. If you have any mobility or seating concerns, please let us know!

Immediately after the ceremony, guests are welcome to tour any of Palisade's 10+ wineries. The Colterris at the Overlook has both pairing options as well as wines by the glass/bottle, but like many Palisade wineries, they may struggle to serve more than 35+ guests at once. Most Palisade wineries offer 3 experiences: 1) Guided Tastings, which require reservations in advance 2) Table reservations, which are inexpensive but ensure a more comfortable and relaxed experience ($10-15, credited towards the wine) 3) Walk-ins Palisade wine runs about $8 to $15 per glass or bottles for $18 to $45. If wine isn’t your thing, don’t worry—we have other options! Choose your adventure: sip, pedal, hike, make a new friend or simply explore Palisade looking fabulous. All paths are correct.

Looking to balance out the wedding food and wine? Palisade offers both traditional bike and e-bike rentals, making it easy to explore vineyards, orchards, cute shops, and scenic country roads. You can reserve your bike at www.palisadecycle.com. The website should also include all of the pricing details ($45 - $65). Please note that Palisade Cycle has approx 165 bikes and reserving your bicycle at least 1 week in advance should guarantee a bike, but you can also roll the dice and reserve your bike the week of the wedding (while supplies last). If you're feeling more adventurous, paddleboards and kayaks may also be available. Mother Nature gets the final vote on this one, as river conditions depend on rainfall and snowmelt.

According to AllTrails this hike is 3.3 miles with 610' elevation gain, with a difficulty of 'Moderate' and a total time out and back of 1.5 - 2 hours. We selected this trail because it is well-marked, with moderate elevation gain and switchbacks. The trail is rocky but provides an exciting reward at the top, as well as stunning views of Palisade and its iconic mountain west terrain. We will likely have a wedding guest lead interested individuals on the hike, following the ceremony. Here is the AllTrails link for those want to learn more: https://www.alltrails.com/trail/us/colorado/palisade-rim-trail?sh=1tnyhw&utm_medium=trail_share&utm_source=alltrails_virality

Prefer something fluffier than wine? Head to the alpaca farm! Yes, an actual alpaca farm. We have reserved 10 alpaca for a trekking tour where you'll be able to walk them through the orchards. A tour of the fiber mill will follow. You’ll get to meet some extremely stylish, very judgmental, and surprisingly photogenic animals. Pet them, stroll around, take a million photos—whatever your spirit calls for. Just please refrain from taking fashion advice from them… their confidence is contagious but their hairstyles are not for everyone. Please note this option begins approximately 2 hours after the end of the wedding ceremony, so can be paired with other options, but spots may be limited.
6:00 pm - 10:00 pm
Fun and festive attire! Your outfit choice can be bold, festive, and unabashedly you.

Join us at the farmers market for a cheerful goodbye as you walk amongst fresh produce, breakfast snacks, and the shared experience of trying to hold a meaningful conversation while someone loudly offers you peaches. The Farmers Market opens at 9am. Justin and Lundy may arrive closer to 10am or 10:30am.
