Imagine driving for six hours. You allowed extra time because the weather was snowy/icy. Then you get to the place where you booked. (Two River Winery) The drive was easier than anticipated so you get there early. You walk in - knock on the office door to check-in. No answer. There is a sign on the door that says 'the office is closed."You look at the front door and see a sign that says check in with the bartender if you are checking in. You go to the bartender - he passes you off to someone else who takes you back to the office. He opens the door and there is a lady there eating a heaping plate of food. She sees me and says "Sorry I didn't answer the door when you knocked. I was on the phone." Then she says "You're early... we don't check people in before 3 pm." I said I just drove 6 hours to get here and I'm not feeling that nice welcome I usually get when I arrive at a hotel/B & B/etc.. A place you plan and pay for in advance so you can get some nice hospitality, What we get is lambasted for arriving at 12:45 instead of 3 pm - for interrupting your phone calls and your chance to chow down. More chastising followed.... "It's customary to check in at 3 pm" "If you had read the email that we sent you would know check-in isn't until 3 pm." The tone is beyond condescending, meant to degrade and scold. The rude talk continues. "It's polite to call ahead of time and let us know you're arriving early." Imagine being scolded by the place you have chosen to pay to stay- to spend some relaxing time at. After some inhospitable back and forth the lady whose meal I interrupted says maybe we're not a good fit. She refunds my money. Meanwhile, the guy takes out his phone and starts videotaping me. I played the actor for him and spoke to him about how inhospitable the managers are at The Two Rivers Winery. Nothing like immediately getting chastised upon arriving at your destination after a long journey. If you value your getaways and need to be pampered and feel valued- you must avoid Two Rivers Winery in Grand Junction at all costs. But, if you enjoy rude, disrespectful, and creepy gatekeepers.... then you might actually...
   Read moreWent for a wedding. Wedding started at 5ish, all the seating was placed facing the setting sun. So no one could really see what was going on, sun blindness was affecting everyone. I feel for the amount of money they charge they should have better placement of the ceremony setting. I know the bridal party were all blinded by the sun and I bet the pictures of the bride and groom are going to have issues from it too. The reception setup inside was nice. The staff was nice but all stoned. A major issue was the weed all the staff was smoking in the kitchen area, the smoke/smell was overwhelming.Stoned employee's do not give any quality service. Not what i would expect from a real winery and professional setting. The chick in the tasting room was so stoned she could barely keep her eyes opened and couldn't remember who was needing what. Gave them 3 stars for the actual wine. They have some...
   Read moreGreat experience! Wines were great, rooms very comfortable, staff accommodating, and the breakfast was 5 Stars. I personally ran 2 wineries in Napa, stayed in B&B’s there and visited many wineries and yet this hidden gem gives you the same experience but in the Grand Junction CO area! Very great stop on way to Moab or even on an adventure to Rockies! Very relaxing on a long adventure.
The winery makes their wines with solely sourced grapes from the local appellation, and I must say they are really pretty good! Bob, Billie, Rob, Brittany, and LeighAnn are all family and make you feel like you are a relative too!
Visited in March, so I’m sure with the summer concerts, warm weather, and romance of being surrounded by grapevines, spring, summer, and fall colors also offer a full range of activities to go with staying in such a beautiful place, something you want...
