YOU Can TAKE IT WITH YOU
The Grand Valley is a land of artisans, growers, brewers and distillers. The best part? You can take their one-of-a-kind creations home with you. Leave some extra space in your suitcase and remember your trip fondly with these local must-haves.
Wiggy’s
Coloradans know a thing or two about outdoor gear, and Wiggy’s sleeping bags are the local favorite. That’s because they’re stuffed with super-toasty Lamilite, an insulating fiber invented by owner Jerry “Wiggy” Wigutow himself. Wiggys.com
Fruit Basket Orchards & Bolton’s Orchards
During market season, the Grand Valley is a U-pick paradise. Bring home crisp apples from Bolton’s Orchards or bag up peaches, pears and cherries, then you can “pick, eat, repeat” at Fruit Basket Orchards. FruitBasketGj.com, BoltonsOrchards.Yolasite.com
Sprigs & Sprouts
This small-batch lavender farm uses flowers plucked from their fields to craft soaps, scrubs, soy candles and other smell-good products. In addition to lavender, experience their olive oil and balsamic vinegar tasting room or fresh greens from their aquaponics system. Facebook.com/SprigsandSprouts
Kannah Creek Brewing Company
No, you can’t take our almost-too-perfect snow with you. But you can take home some authentic Colorado snowmelt, which this microbrewery uses to craft its crisp, award-winning ales. KannahCreekBrewingCo.com
Highlands Craft Distillery
One taste of the small-batch vodkas and gins at Highlands Craft Distillery, and you’ll want a bottle (or two) for your home bar. Get them at the farmhouse tasting room and savor a custom craft cocktail while you’re there. ColoradoHighlandsDistillery.com
Enstrom Candies
Buttery almond toffee, melt-in-your- mouth cream caramels and rich truffles are just a few of the goodies behind the glass at Enstrom’s, a world-famous, family-run Grand Junction confectionery where visitors can watch the making of the candies in person. Enstrom.com
Loki
There’s a saying in Colorado: If you don’t like the weather, wait five minutes. That’s also the M.O. of Loki, whose locally made hats, hoodies and gloves feature vents and convertible layers made to prepare you for every change in the forecast. LokiUsa.com
Vintage Overland
Suitcase busting? Then make room for more local products with a tiny, teardropshaped camping caravan, lightweight enough to be towed by almost any vehicle, but tough enough for the Colorado backcountry — not to mention a design-lover’s dream. VintageOverland.com
Zesty Moose Marketplace & Wine Bar
Home chefs should make a beeline for Zesty Moose to stock up on all-natural, additive-free spices, seasoning blends and kitchen treats like artisan balsamic vinegars and finishing butters. Sip on local award-winning wine while you shop. TheZestyMoose.com
