This wine tasting was amazing. Alex is so incredibly knowledgeable and so stinkin fun!! We were laughing the entire time, but left knowing so much about the wines. Last but not least the wines were incredible! Alex is the wine maker. He was incredible.

This place was amazing! Our favorite winery in Palisade. The tasting was super informative and the staff couldn’t have been nicer and more helpful. It didn’t hurt either that it was the best wine we had while we were in town. This will be our first stop back next time we’re in Palisade!

Highly enjoyed the wine tasting experience experience.

I just had the best tasting experience I have ever had along with amazing wine. Every single one I tasted was amazing. In addition, the tasting was free and was educational as well. I am glad this was my first stop on this trip. Definitely don't overlook this gem just because it isn't with the other wineries. I made that mistake my first two visits to Palisades and missed out on some of the best wine I have ever had!

Varaison Vineyards & Winery was one of the BEST wine tastings we have ever experienced! Kristin gave us so much good information on all the different wines. We will definitely stop and visit Varaison the next time we are in Palisade.

We had such a great time at Varaison! We did a tasting with Alex, he was amazing and we learned so much. Everyone was super friendly. Most importantly the wine was very good. We bought several bottles, can’t wait to go back next time we are in town.

What a great experience! We had a great time with Alex - he was so knowledgeable, great sense of humor and taught us so much so that we could really enjoy wine! The entire place had great people and the wine was fantastic! We got to taste so many! Highly recommend!!!

Varaison winery offers a delightful blend of fun and education. Each glass becomes a journey through the art of wine appreciation, with a focus on how it dances on the taste buds. The tasting session was not just about sipping, but a guided exploration of flavors, textures, and aromas. What stood out was their expertise in wine pairing, turning a meal into a symphony of complementary flavors. passion. Highly recommended for anyone seeking a memorable blend of fun and wine education in a picturesque setting of Palisade, Colorado!

Quaint little place with a welcoming vibe! FUN!! Perfect way to entertain my friends visiting from Michigan! So many laughs! So much education!
Alex the wine maker is extremely knowledgeable. Not only did they have the best wine in palisade, I also learned a lot about how to properly taste wine and how wine is made.
Cristine Fuhrman
Very fun and full of knowledge! We learned much about wine varieties, pairings and alcohol volumes all while laughing our butts off. Great wine flavors too!

My husband and I stopped here on our way back home from a road trip and are so glad we did. We not only got to enjoy great wine, but also great conversation with one of the owners and walked away well-educated on wine and how to enjoy and pick the best. Thanks Varaison Vinyards for an unforgettable experience!

EXCELLENT! AMAZING! Tres SUPERB!If you like wine and LOVE learning about how wine tastes, you will ADORE this tasting! Alex is the winemaker and son of the estate owner. Both are highly educated and skilled in the chemistry of making fine wines in the US. At least two of their wines are second gold winners of the international Paris Wine Tasting competition. I HIGHLY recommend coming here to learn about how to taste wine! (Yes, there is a right and a wrong way to do it)! Excellent job!!
