Congratulations to all the wineries selected for this year`s Governor`s Cup Wine Collection! 🥂
The Collection is comprised of the top wines from the Governor`s Cup Winemaking Competition, the only statewide wine making competition that is exclusively for Colorado wineries. Winemakers from across the state submit their wines, which are then judged by sommeliers, wine writers, Masters of Wine, and wine professionals. The top wines are then featured at Colorado Uncorked, a public tasting of the Governor`s Cup Collection. These wines are selected as the best representation of Colorado`s wine industry.
Five of the Governor`s Cup Collection wineries can be found at this year`s Colorado Mountain Winefest! Make sure to visit @carboywinery, @theobcwineproject, @peachforkfruitandwine, @sauvagespectrumwines, and @whitewaterhillvineyards at the Festival in the Park next Saturday! 🍷
Tickets to Colorado Mountain Winefest presented by Fisher`s Liquor Barn are available at www.ColoradoWinefest.com. Hurry, tickets are limited, prices for any remaining festival tickets will increase the day of the event!

#throwbackthursday: One of our dear friends from the Palisade Historical Society recently brought us a copy of the 1998 Colorado Winefest Program that was printed in the Palisade Tribune. The Festival in the Park was held at the Veteran`s Memorial Park in Palisade and featured just 14 wineries. This little glimpse back in time not only highlights several of our state`s amazing wineries and winemakers, but also shows just how far Colorado`s wine industry has grown and progressed over the past 26 years.
We were also pleasantly surprised to discover that @dotseroband, one of our live musical groups scheduled for this year`s Colorado Mountain Winefest, also performed live during the 1998 festival!
