Description

Specialties

It is a winery, a vineyard, a peach orchard, a sorting and packing facility, a country store, agri-​tours, an event center, a lavender garden, a corkscrew museum… what is it? Colterris Wines and High Country Orchards.

Here Theresa offers us a country store, where she sells her own brand of peach salsa, jams and honey as well as nostalgic souvenirs and other items. Her son, Keenan manages the store and also gives agri-​tours. The orchard consists of 71 acres of Palisade peaches and 15 acres of sweet cherries… yum! The state-​of-​the-​art processing facility for peaches is incredible. It is a digital processing facility whereby cameras take pictures of the peaches as they go through the line and are sorted according to size. All the peaches are tree ripened instead of picked green. There are solar panels that produce 119% of the energy needed to operate the packing facility.
