Deroco Cellars - Palisade, Colorado

Jillian Turner (Colorado Realtor)

We came to Deroco Cellars for Palisade Food Truck Fridays. There was an amazing live band and a handful of food trucks lining the vineyard. What a beautiful way to spend the evening drinking lavender wine spritzers and dancing in the lawn?
Easy to access right off I70…go check it out!

We recently held a wedding here and couldn’t be happier! The outside location was perfectly shaded with large trees and the orchards in the background were the perfect backdrop. Inside, we had a well lit area for the reception that comfortably fit 100 people plus a dance floor, the stage and plenty of room for the food tables, dessert table and gifts. The staff was helpful and very attentive. Highly recommend this business and staff!

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! (Tip - as a sour beer lover, I was curious and tried the Sour Peach as one of my tasters. It tastes like a wet band aid smells, stick with their traditional wine.)

We purchased a bottle of another local winery's that they had for sale, and they opened it for us to sit and enjoy. We also had a snack, which was tasty, and when we tried to order some more food, we had a hard time getting someone's attention. (Which was weird, because there were so many employees floating around.) We finally got someone behind the counter to ask, who shook her head and mumbled something about "you'll have to ask her," before she grabbed her purse and came around to sit at the bar. By the time we were able to get service, we decided to close out.

It's a nice space that has potential, and they seem to have a lot of interesting evening activities (music, trivia, yoga, etc.). But it's not there yet.

Mother's Day spent painting wine glasses in Deroco's event space. The instructor was amazing! The food was delicious. And the wine selection can't be beat!

All 3 of us had a glass of wine from a different company! If you don't know what kind of wine you like, being able to taste wines from all over the grand valley is super convenient!

10/10 I will be returning!

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 summer here!!

We ordered a peach caprese in late July and received skewers of still frozen peaches. Not what I was expecting in Palisade. Lol. Also the rose was from 2017… seems like a winery and restaurant that doesn’t care much about good food or good wine.

Our experience at other wineries in the area has been much more positive. 2 stars (instead of 1) because they let me bring my dog in.

We went for dinner and were there for trivia on a Thursday. Stacy(sp?) took great care of us and Brittany(sp?) ran a fun trivia. We had the hummus and tried the pear tartines, and all of the food was delicious.
I agree with some other reviews that their wines are on the pricey side, but they have an eclectic assortment of local wines available for purchase, in addition to Deroco wines.

The slushees are AMAZING! New favorite lunch & snack spot!!
The charcuterie is really reasonably priced and delicious. Also tried the caprese, peach caprese, antipasto bites, & hummus and crackers and it was all AMAZING. Went here for a birthday party and the outdoor seating when the lights come on in the evening is so gorgeous! It was the perfect venue and the food is priced really well and perfect sized for a party.
Really good selection of local wines, too!
