Caroline's Wine Country Inn - PALISADE

Our server, Lupita, was superb. Very friendly and personable. She recommended some wines and food items. She kept a watchful eye to make sure the pacing of the food was perfect. The wingspan red blend was very good. The tempura shrimp appetizer was delicious. The main entrees were served promptly after we had finished our salads. The Elk loin was delicious as was the pozole. The salmon was a very large portion and the vegetables were delicious. The desserts were very yummy. The peach cobbler was the right size and the caramel apple pie was scrumptious. Overall good value for food and service Would come back again

I have been to this hotel many times. It is a lovely place in a beautiful location and easy to find. There aren't many places to eat in Palisade, the local town, but there are plenty of wineries to visit, and the Colorado National Monument is nearby. There is also a beautiful park along the nearby river. The hotel offers its guests a free glass of wine from a local winery every evening. The wine quality is only medium, but I have really enjoyed the food at the restaurant attached to the hotel. The free breakfasts are superior in quality, and the staff is friendly and supportive. They even went to the extra effort of mailing me some items I left in the room. They also have a swimming pool and a hot tub. The pool was closed during the winter, but the hot tub was open. This hotel is the best that Palisade has to offer, and I plan to return there as soon as I can.

We went there for a new years dinner. The food was good, personally some of the cooking style wasn't my favorite. My steak was cooked just right, however it needed to be trimmed as I trimmed a bunch of gristle off of it. The mashed potatoes had some pretty big chunks of potatoes that needed to be cooked more. My wifes summer squash also was a tad under cooked so it was still a little hard. The staff was very friendly and attentive.

I ordered my meat cooked medium and received rare. It was impossible to cut even with a sharp knife they provided . The squash was cut in slices one of which was hard and the other was burnt. The potatoes had no flavor and were very lumpy. Overall, I did not eat my meal and no one bothered to ask why.

What an amazing place to spend your time! The entire staff is very polite, personable and professional. The customer service is the best I have ever experienced.The scenery and location is amazing, close to all attractions and sights. The views and atmosphere are very elegant yet homey.The rooms are clean and even come with wine glasses and a corkscrew!My new favorite destination.
