The Peachfork

The Peachfork is a family estate winery and orchard on East Orchard Mesa in Palisade, Colorado, set high on the Colorado Plateau amid wind- and water-carved canyons and arroyos. The Brennan family began raising apples here in 1972, planted the first 2,500 grapevines in 1992, and now tends an estimated 20,000 vines alongside peaches, pears, plums, pluots and apples. The estate grows Cabernet Sauvignon, Chardonnay, Gewürztraminer, Lemberger, Orange Muscat, Riesling, Syrah, Cabernet Franc, Chambourcin, Petit Pearl and Traminette, plus Black Manuka table grapes. The winery produces estate reds, whites and fruit wines, including a Pear Apple and semi-sweet peach wine made from orchard fruit. The land is held in conservation through Mesa Land Trust and the farm runs on a 9.1 kW solar array. Visitors can taste in the tasting room or, if found working the vineyard or orchard, the farmers will stop to pour wines and meet guests.
