Join us for a long weekend full of fun, friendship, and adventure in Western Colorado’s wine country!
Over four days we will experience the best outdoor activities Colorado has to offer while enjoying world class lodging at Wine Country Inn over Labor Day weekend.
Try something new, no prior experience necessary to join any of our activities.
Activities:
Hiking adventures!
We will take in the vast desert landscape of Western Colorado by foot, exploring several trails in the area over the long weekend. There will be options for all levels!
River paddle:
The highlight of our weekend includes a special clinic + stand-up paddle board or kayak outing on the Colorado river! We will soak in the landscape as we glide down a mild stretch of the river hopefully capturing glimpses of native wildlife including golden and bald eagles, big horn sheep and wild horses!
Yoga:
Our expert local instructor will guide us through a SUP yoga session for all levels designed to relax, energize and empower us. There will also be a sunrise mat yoga class.
Did someone say Wine?!?
After a long weekend we will un-“wine” with a biking tour of Palisade stopping at various wineries and distilleries in the area for tastings and to soak in the laid back lifestyle of this small community. You will also have the opportunity to grab some fresh produce, honey and other items produced in the area by local farmers and ranchers.
OTHER ACTIVITIES
While our schedule is full with a variety of options, you can choose which activities to participate in. If something doesn’t interest you there is plenty to do in the area including:
Unwind: Massage therapist and spa services will be available. We will provide details on how to schedule a therapeutic treatment.
Play: The Inn has a lovely outdoor pool and hot tub, bring your suit!
Explore the town: Pick-up some fresh produce at nearby farmers stands, pickup some local honey or famous Palisade peaches!
Relax: Read a book by the pool or grab a local Colorado brew, cider or glass of wine from the bar.
