GJVCB Visitor Guide 2017 OFFICIAL VISITOR GUIDE A Dramatically Different Side of Colorado You’ll Love How Everything is Different Here Grand Junction has everything that’s great about Colorado, yet it feels like nowhere else on earth. This is a land of contrasting landscapes, where the Rockies and the vibrant Grand Mesa give way to the stark red rock high desert of the Colorado National Monument, separated by two majestic rivers and a fertile valley. This is the only place where you can bike from a desert trail into an award-winning winery, or take in a vast outdoor public art exhibit in our beautiful downtown after you’ve taken the kids to dig for dinosaur fossils. This is Colorado’s Wine Country, Grand Junction. Welcome! 10 THINGS YOU CAN SCAN THE PAGE ONLY EXPERIENCE IN WITH LAYAR GRAND JUNCTION + WELCOME VIDEO What’s Inside Downtown, Events, Arts & Culture ............................................... 2-3 Adventure ......................................................................................... 4-7 Wine Country ................................................................................... 8-9 Farm-to-Table.................................................................................. 10-13 Colorado National Monument ...................................................... 14-15 Events Calendar ............................................................................... 16-17 Family Fun ........................................................................................ 18-19 Groups, Meetings, Weddings, Reunions ...................................... 20-21 Our Economy .................................................................................. 22-23 Business Listings ............................................................................... 24-31 Local Map ......................................................................................... 32-33 Get even more local tips and travel ideas from the Grand Junction Visitor Guide by using the Layar App. Follow these steps to view our interactive content on your mobile device.

Stop and grab a cup of coffee or a gelato as you explore. There are many restaurants so you can dine on anything from sushi to steak, plus locally-sourced seasonal food paired with local wines, beers and spirits. And every Thursday night throughout the summer, Downtown hosts a weekly farmers market. With over 100 businesses, the shopping is extraordinary with the largest collection of antique shops between Denver, Salt Lake City and Las Vegas; you can also find modern gifts, stylish clothing boutiques, sporting goods stores, and bike shops if you feel like speeding things up.

We are one of only two designated viticulture areas in the state, named the Grand Valley AVA, and are the most productive by far. Agriculture has been thriving here since the 1880s thanks to our unique climate and fertile growing conditions, and now that includes 23 wineries and counting. Our vintners produce many varieties of wines, both sweet and dry, and are renowned for unique wines that use local fruits in the recipes. Tasting Rooms are open all year, locations span the valley with a majority near Palisade, and can be toured on bicycle, horse-drawn carriage, or with a luxurious limo tour by appointment. It’s an incredible opportunity to relax near the base of the Grand Mesa, the world’s largest flattop mountain, and enjoy the view to the west of Colorado National Monument. Join us every September for Colorado’s largest wine festival. SCAN THE PAGE TOUR COLORADO'S WITH LAYAR WINE COUNTRY 8 Grape growers’ paradise. It all starts here. Take a walking tour of a lush, fertile vineyard... …or grab a friend and a bike for a tour of several wineries. Cap off a day of adventure by tasting Colorado’s best. 9 FARM-TO-TABLE Savor the Difference The differences in our climate provide the perfect recipe for growing exceptional fruits and vegetables just minutes from area restaurants, making our farm-to-table scene truly extraordinary. At our altitude, our nights are cool, but our days are balmy. Combine this with fertile soils and snow-fed water for irrigation, and that’s why generations of our farmers have grown peaches, apples, tomatoes and peppers that are famous throughout Colorado for their delicious flavors. More recently, farmers are specializing in micro greens like arugula, cilantro and kale to provide a true feast from the fields for local restaurants. Chefs from around the area are using these fresh ingredients in new ways to create delicious dishes that surprise and delight. Find a list of local fruit stands to visit by going to visitgrandjunction.com/fruit-vegetable-stands. Pair with a glass of local wine, relax, and engage all of your senses. VIEW SCAN THE PAGE GRAND JUNCTION WITH LAYAR RESTAURANTS 10 Share some laughter, wine and a chef’s latest creation. Some consider our peaches the best in the world. Enjoy our warm days and cool nights—many crops sure do. You simply won’t find food this fresh in the big city.

  • Harvey Steiman at Large | Blogs | Wine Spectator
    8/19/13 Colorado Wine, Not an Oxymoron | Harvey Steiman At Large | Blogs | Wine Spectator Home > Blogs > Harvey Steiman At Large harvey steiman at large Colorado Wine, Not an Oxymoron But how good is it? Results of a sampling Posted: Aug 2, 2013 10:41am ET Every state in America makes wine. So everywhere I go, I try to taste at least a few examples of the local product. As my wife and I spend several weeks every summer in the Colorado Rockies, we have been exposed to Colorado bottlings from time to time. I've ordered glasses or bottles of local wines in places such as Arizona, Texas, Michigan, Maryland and Virginia, which get little respect except for a relatively few supporters. Generally I find what I've tasted likable enough. But two big questions keep me from hopping up and down with excitement. I ran into both of those questions as I tasted through a representative sample of 10 Colorado wines with Kyle Schlachter of the Colorado Wine Press website. He has tweeted me when I omitted Colorado from a comment on states worth noting. The first issue involves price. Why drink a pretty good $25 Colorado Syrah when I can buy a terrific one from Washington or Australia for less? If you live in Colorado, the answer is simple. To encourage your local wine industry, drink Harvey Steiman their wines and let them know how you feel about them. And there's a certain pride of place. Yay, us! About Me Those who live in San Francisco or New York, however, might consider the next My Main Blog Page question.

Invasive mussels knocking on Colorado's door prompts Highline Lake to revise boat ramp rules Beginning April 1, Colorado Parks and Wildlife will lock the boat ramp each evening at Highline Lake State Park, or when Aquatic Nuisance Species inspectors are not available. The new rule is in response to the growing threat posed to Colorado's water by the few boaters suspected of illegally launching their watercraft without the required aquatic nuisance species inspection. Anglers can provide input at two CPW 'State of the Fish" meetings in Summit, Grand counties In continuing efforts to engage the public in constructive conversations, Colorado Parks and Wildlife will hold two 'State of the Fish' gatherings in Summit and Grand County later this month. Agency biologists and managers will be available to answer questions about the current status of local fisheries, and future management plans. Go fish! 2018 fishing licenses are available now, valid beginning April 1 Colorado Parks and Wildlife reminds anglers that it's time to get ready for another season of fishing. Coloradans and non-resident visitors can purchase a 2018 annual fishing license now either online, at your local CPW office or at any of our hundreds of authorized sales agents statewide.

The name COLTERRIS means WHITE CABERNET SAUVIGNON “from the Colorado land.” Colterris Estate Wines will always be Grand Valley produced 100% from our family vineyards. 2020 Situated along the Colorado River, the high-altitude meso-climates and volcanic soils of our vineyards contribute to the rich color, intense fruit flavors and robust character that make COLTERRIS wines unique. WINEMAKER NOTES Fresh raspberry and strawberry bubble gum notes dominate the nose.

VINEYARD DETAILS 100% Theresa’s Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon, Six Clones, Planted 2001 PRODUCTION NOTES The grapes are harvested several weeks before our traditional full color Cabernet Sauvignon, which gives Coral a different fruit profile as well as a bit more acid.

Coral is technically a dry rosé at just 7 grams residual sugar per liter. Bottled 3/5/2021. 1538 cases produced.
