| - The Colorado Wine Country Inn is an 80-room Victorian hotel in Palisade, Colorado. Located in the Grand Valley within sight of the Colorado National Monument, the Grand Mesa and the Book Cliffs, the Wine Country Inn sits in the middle of 10 1/2 acres of vineyards. The hotel is slated to open in the summer of 2008 as a wedding and event venue. This Colorado hotel is the realization of a decade-long dream for owners Richard and Jean Tally. The groundbreaking occurred Tuesday, August 28. The new property, which consists of three main buildings flanking a landscaped courtyard with an outdoor pool, spa, and pavilion, echoes the clusters of farm buildings typical of much of the turn of the century architecture in the area. Architect Jim Johnson, whose firm JG Johnson Architects, designed the project, calls the style “farmhouse vernacular.” He points to wrap-around porches, gables and wood siding as typical design elements. The Tallys say they wanted to evoke the Victorian feel of so many farm homes across America in small towns like Palisade. Facing the Interstate 70 corridor, the one and a half story Reception Building will house public areas: lobby and front desk, breakfast/wine tasting room, catering kitchen, small meeting rooms, business center, gift shop, public rest rooms, offices, laundry service, mechanical and storage spaces. South of the Reception Building, the three story Guest House, will include 72 queen rooms, including ADA compliant accommodations. An elevator will serve the building. On the East side of the complex, a Suites Building will offer several configurations the remaining eight rooms. This two-story structure will cater to corporate retreats meetings, bridal parties, family reunions and other small group oriented functions. Other landmarks near the hotel include the rocky outcropping of Mount Garfield, the junction of the Colorado River and the Gunnison River, the rugged sandstone of De Beque Canyon and a wild horse sanctuary, jointly overseen by the Bureau of Land Management and the city of De Beque, Colorado. The hotel will physically reside within the Mount Lincoln Vineyard, along the newly created street, Grande River Drive. Its geocoordinates in Palisade are at (39.109335, -108.354277).
