The holidays are about connection—friends dropping by unannounced, family gathered around the table, and the unmistakable sound of laughter rising above the clink of glasses. Here in Palisade, we know that the best celebrations start local: with good company, good food, and great spirits made right here in the valley.
At Peach Street Distillers, we’ve spent the last 20 years crafting spirits that taste like home—grain-to-glass creations made from the same fields, orchards, and sunshine that make Palisade special. This season, we invite you to slow down, savor the moment, and host your holiday gatherings with a touch of local flavor.
When you pour a drink made from Colorado-grown grains and fruits, you’re not just mixing a cocktail—you’re sharing a piece of this place.
Every bottle from Peach Street Distillers starts with ingredients grown by local farmers and ends with friends gathered around the bar. Our grain-to-glass process means we handle every step, from fermentation to distillation, right here on-site. That’s what gives our spirits their depth, warmth, and unmistakable character.
And when you shop local, you give twice—the gift of handcrafted quality, and the gift of supporting local agriculture, small businesses, and the community that makes Colorado what it is.
So whether you’re filling stockings, hosting dinner, or planning a cozy fireside night, make this season a toast to the people and places that make it all possible.
A great host knows that the magic of a good gathering often starts at the bar cart. Here’s how to give yours a local twist:
For food pairings, you can’t go wrong with Colorado cheeses, roasted nuts, and dried fruits—they bring out the nuanced notes in our spirits and keep your guests coming back for “just one more taste.”
