City: Palisade

Do you like riding bikes and then drinking wine with friends? Then you will love Tour de Vineyards.

Celebrate the fall with a scenic tour of Colorado’s Wine Country on September 21st. Choose between a leisurely 23-mile route that follows the Wine and Fruit Byway and the more challenging 58-mile route that adds on a loop up and over the Reeder Mesa Climb with a timed segment to challenge your legs and lungs.

Both routes showcase the splendor of the Grand Valley and the beauty of the Western Slope. Chock-full of wineries, vineyards, orchards and mesas, our 26th annual sportive has a little something for everyone. After a good ride, enjoy a hearty meal right at the finish line in downtown Palisade and then head over to the Colorado Mountain Winefest, held just a few blocks away at Riverbend Park.

Bike Travel Weekend and Bike Your Park Day are fun and easy, and they help get people outside and on bikes. There’s no cost to you or your participants (unless you want to charge a fee to participants to cover your costs).
