PALISADE WINE TOUR
May 15-17 2025

# Overview

Some Lucky people will join me in Palisade, CO for a wagon ride through some amazing wineries. In this beautiful valley in Colorado’s western slope 80% of the state’s wine making grapes are grown. Each of the wineries is diverse but you will find some amazing Meritage White, Chardonnay, Syrah, Merlot and Viognier.

# Take a tour

Many Palisade wineries offer vineyard tours allowing you to see the grapevines up close, learn about the winemaking process, and enjoy the stunning scenery. IF this is something that interests you, ask the winery to provide a guided tour.

# Horse-Drawn Wine Tour

The experience of visiting the Valley’s fruit and wine country by way of a horse drawn carriage is memorable. The guided tour includes historical and informational narrative along the way to over 25+ local wineries. We will sample as many as our 4.5 hours allows. In addition to the wineries our guide can take us to fruit stands, lavender farms, historical landmarks, breweries, distilleries and other Palisade novelties as we so desire. Along with your tour you will get a goodie bag full of additional savings and gifts.

Join us for an exciting day of learning and sharing our love of camping. Many of you know that I have converted my SUV into a camping car that allows me to cheaply travel the country in comfort. Many of you have asked to see my setup and I have willingly shared my expertise while helping you set up your car or truck. I, like you, have a ton of camping gear that I do not use. Do you want to spend the day swapping gear and setting up our cars for summer adventure?

This session will discuss Vietnam. One of the fastest growing economies in Southeast Asia, Vietnam is predicted to be among the world’s 20 largest economies by 2050 because of its large population, growing consumer class and rich natural resources. Over seventy years ago, France, under pressure from Soviet-backed forces, ended its colonial control of Vietnam. Thereafter, the United States increased its troop presence in the region, an escalation that led to the Vietnam War. Over half a century after the US withdrawal, Vietnam is a very different country with a bustling economy and relatively friendly relations with the United States. Join Active Minds as we take a look back at the evolution of Vietnam with a particular focus on its relationship with its neighbor China.

We can meet prior to the lecture for lunch at OOka. The lecture is at the Broomfield Library in the Eisenhower Meeting room. The lecture starts at 1:30 pm.
