Red Fox Cellars

All I can say is… ABSOLUTELY FANTASTIC! the staff was incredible and exceptional. Sure friendly.
My girlfriend and I went in there on Sunday the 31^st for an tour of Colorado wine country and was blown away.
Keep up the great work.

Because Red Fox is relatively new, a lot of their grapes are sourced from outside of Colorado. This isn’t uncommon, many places that have limited availability of grapes source from California or even Chile. Their sangiovese was excellent, and most of their other vintages are aged in bourbon or whiskey barrels. This imparts vanilla and caramel notes to the wine, quite unusual and worth a taste. We took home a bottle of Bourbeaux, a Bordeaux-​style blend aged in bourbon barrels. Limited selections.

Sangiovese just came out and is a fantastic red that is bold but not too dry and the oak flavor is just the woodsy flavor to round out the drink. A wonderful place to go and relax, tables to sit and enjoy each other’s company and they even have flights of cider. Keep in mind, it isn’t Angry Orchard style cider. It’s real cider. It’s crisp like an apple. After picking the largest apple I’ve ever seen in my life now I know what an authentic cider tastes like as opposed to a mass brewed drink. YES YES YES!!!

This was our first stop in Palisade and it did not disappoint! Functioning a lot like a tap room with some really great ciders on tap. We enjoyed all of the wine and ciders we tried and had a great time chatting with the owner about his business and the area. We would definitely recommend going here.

Had such an awesome pit stop here heading home after a spring break trip to Moab. The facility is brand spanking new and the owner was extremely friendly and welcoming. The place was comfortable and had an awesome deck for soaking up some sunshine. Refreshing hard ciders, wine on tap, and unique offerings. We will definitely be back!

The tasting was super generous and you can pay a tiny bit for a more variety of pours… that were extremely more generous. My group wasn’t a huge fan of their wines, they enjoyed a couple reds for a full glass, and I enjoyed a cocktail. They don’t have spreads or snacks to order. The service was great.

We drove by the signs as we were heading to another winery and noted that Red Fox Cellars was not one we’d seen in the guide books. While at the other place, the owner there asked us if we’d stopped at the Red Fox and we said we hadn’t heard of it until we drove down the street! He told us it was quite new and strongly advised that we visit… and we were glad we did!
If you love real cider you must come here! We loved the cider tasting and were gutted to find out that they’re not bottling it yet. So, naturally we had to sit in the sun and down a quick cider before we left (they still sell it to drink in the tasting room — or outside on the deck in our case).
The owners are super nice and will stand and chat and explain what they do and how they do it. The wines are nice too and we came home with a bottle of the 44, but I have to admit, I went there (and would go back) for the cider.

Wonderful new wine/​cider tasting room in palisade! They have done a great job separating themselves from the other amazing wineries in the area so you gotta stop in and give em a try! I loved the Shock Akane cider, 44 red wine blend and Early Morning wine on draft. Free to taste their wines and then only a couple bucks to try all their other varietals. Loved our experience here!

Although the website says «Wednesday through Thursday 11 – 4, and Friday through Sunday 11 – 6. Closed Monday and Tuesday» there is nothing about public holidays. We arrived for tastings on Easter Sunday and there was a sign on the door stating that they were not open tomorrow for Easter so stock up today. Not very helpful if we weren’t there yesterday.

Love this place! Great red wines with more to come. This couple is just following their dream and it makes me smile :)
