An evening of fantasy, fine wine, and unforgettable adventure, a perfect time to dress up too!!
Join us at Restoration Vineyards for Wizards & Wine—a unique tabletop gaming experience where the worlds of storytelling and sipping collide.

Whether you’re a lifelong player or brand new to the game, our tables are designed for flexible, drop-in play with no long-term commitment. Each table seats up to five players and uses the 2014 edition of D&D 5e rules for a streamlined, immersive experience.
No need to prepare ahead—players will choose from a selection of pre-generated characters, each ready to dive into the adventure. Just bring your imagination and let the story unfold.
– Enjoy our handcrafted wines while you play
– Professional Dungeon Masters at every table
– No experience necessary—perfect for first-timers and veterans alike
– Each session lasts 2–3 hours
– $15 per person
Reservations are required to ensure we have enough Dungeon Masters for all players. Spots are limited, so book early to secure your seat at the table. We keep our wines at dungeon temperatures, so dress warm. No outside alcohol allowed.

Barrel into Spring returns April 17 & 18 at seven wineries in Palisade! Enjoy barrel samples, food, discounts, and fun in the Grand Valley!

Barrel into Spring returns to Palisade on April 17 from 2:00–7:00 PM and April 18 from 11:00 AM–5:00 PM, inviting guests to explore Colorado wine country at its most vibrant.
This self-guided, two-day experience features seven participating wineries, where attendees will enjoy curated food and wine samples, exclusive discounts on wine and other products, and a relaxed springtime atmosphere.

Participants will check in at their preassigned starting winery to pick up their tasting glass and wristband, then follow the digital passport as they tour the region at their own pace.
Guests who complete all eight winery check-ins by the end of the weekend will be entered into a drawing to win a free case of Colorado wine—the perfect way to toast a successful Barrel into Spring.
