Deroco Cellars — Attraction in Palisade

We had an okay experience here. It started out and finished up a little awkward. There were twice as many people behind the counter as there were in the shop, and we had to go to the bar to ask where we could sit to try some of their wine. We did a tasting, and liked their Merlot the best. But it was crazy expensive to order by the glass and by the bottle!

Not a great first impression. We probably...

I had such a fun experience at Deroco Cellars for Mothers Day today! They did a wine and paint event that was so relaxing and fun. The environment that they have created brings such a sense of community - not only in events like this for Mother’s Day, but also having the opportunity to try several different wines from so many different wineries in Palisade and appreciate the accomplishments of local wineries. I definitely will be spending a lot of my...
