COME TO LIFE Telluride Jazz Festival Music Festivals Seeing some of your favorite acts is even better in Colorado — where performances often come with alpine views and open-air stages. At Telluride Jazz Festival , listen to brass bands and soulful ensembles echo through a box canyon surrounded by towering peaks. In Grand Junction, Country Jam brings big-name headliners to a desert amphitheater, where crowds dance into warm summer nights. Over in Vail, Bravo! Vail features nationally recognized orchestras performing at the Gerald R. Ford Amphitheater, with covered seating, a sprawling lawn space and a backdrop of aspen-covered hills. Winery Tours Sip award-winning wines and breeze through the rows of speckled grapevines at Colterris Winery in Palisade, home to a new museum featuring 16,000 pieces of wine memorabilia. Make your way to The Winery at Holy Cross Abbey — a Gothic Revival monastery turned winery in Cañon City — to try award-winning blends and roam serene gardens alongside views of the Wet Mountains. Or spend a day on the West Elks Wine Tour near Hotchkiss and Paonia, where a string of small wineries pour regional reds and crisp whites amid orchards, lavender fields and quiet country roads.
