Pondering the next winery stop in Palisade, the heart of Colorado's fruit and wine country. Over 75% of Colorado's wine grapes are grown here. - ColoradoRick's Photos

MINI5280 members headed to the western portion of Colorado for a weekend of winery touring, monument visiting and museum viewing. The highlight of the trip was a visit to Colorado Gateway Auto Museum, in Gateway, Colorado, where the one and only F-88 concept car is housed. Gateway is about 1 hour southwest of Grand Junction. The Colorado National Monument is next to Grand Junction, as is Palisade, the center of Colorado-grown wines!
