Question

What should I wear?

Answer

Dress code: Cocktail attire BUT if you feel called to sport cowboy boots, a hat or a fun belt buckle, bring it on. Ashley - do your thing, girl. Chris - no jeans. Maggie is actively trying to get Steven to wear a bolo tie (Editors Note: she's failing in that endeavor).

Question

What will the weather be like?

Answer

Palisade typically has sunny, dry weather with warm days and cooler nights. Be sure to bring sunscreen, sunglasses, and a light jacket for the evening. The weather can be unpredictable, so be prepared. September can be very hot still. Keep the altitude in mind - it's no joke! Hydrate, hydrate, hydrate - especially if you plan on partaking in the local wine scene.

Question

What is there to do in the area?

Answer

Palisade is famous for its wineries, fruit orchards, and outdoor activities. You can enjoy wine tasting, biking along scenic routes, hiking, or visiting local farms and markets. Not only is Palisade a hidden gem, but the surrounding areas of Grand Junction and Fruita have endless activities to fill your day! If you have the time, we highly recommend taking a little road trip to Moab, UT - truly Mars on Earth (90 minutes from Grand Junction). Support our National Parks! The bride demands it! If you don't feel like making the drive, the Colorado National Monument, just outside of Grand Junction, is a beautiful way to spend a day in the valley. Some favorite local eats: - If you are looking to get fancy, we can't recommend Pêche highly enough. Incredible food and even better service. Make a reservation now! - Fidel's for some taco's and margs? Don't mind if we do. - For breakfast, 13 Brix Cider Bistro hits every time. Some favorite wineries (outside of Peachfork of course): - Bookcliff Vineyards - Carlson Vineyards - Carboy Winery Some other helpful resources: https://www.visitpalisade.com/things-to-do https://www.visitpalisade.com/what-to-eat https://www.nps.gov/colm/index.htm https://www.visitgrandjunction.com/things-to-do/outdoor-recreation/biking-trails/ https://www.visitgrandjunction.com/food-and-drink/craft-beverages/breweries/

Question

Who should I contact with questions?
