Agri-tours and Guided Tours

 

While Palisade’s agricultural and guided tour businesses offer tours on a seasonal and year-round basis, visitors are encouraged to experience an Agri-tour and meet the growers and producers while visiting Palisade over the Peach Festival weekend. When driving to your tour, look for the Agri-tour banner to locate each participating business.

This self-guided walking tour takes you through the center of downtown Palisade and into adjacent residential areas, showcasing sites that include businesses, churches and homes.
