IWIRC on the Vine in the Grand Valley Wine Region in Palisade, Colorado

We are very excited to showcase Colorado's own wine region in the picturesque Grand Valley Wine Region. Our conference hotel is the Wine Country Inn located in the heart of Colorado's wine country. Details on the hotel amenities and directions to the hotel can be obtained on the hotel website. The hotel is approximately 20 minutes from the Grand Junction Regional Airport with transportation available by car rental, taxi, or rideshare (approximately $30). The hotel is approximately 3.5 hours from Denver International Airport with transportation best available by car rental.

Please obtain your conference registration package at our poolside check-in table. Attire is wine country chic - dress comfortably and remember that September evenings in Colorado can be cool, so bring a jacket. Comfortable footwear is recommended for Thursday afternoon to facilitate exploring the local vineyards and fields.
