Some of my favorite things in this charming area in Colorado
📍Paonia, CO 🏔️

📌Save + send to who you want to explore Paonia with 

Things to do:
- Avalanche Ranch Hot Springs (make a reservation) & this is ~1 hour from Paonia 🫧

- Stanton Farms- a sweet couple owns this and they were so fun to talk to and it was beautiful to see the lavender and you can also buy oils and a few other things from them 🪻

- Stay at this cabin- ‼️comment “Paonia” and I will send you the link! It is cute, affordable, dog friendly, incredible views and 5 minutes from everything in Paonia 🏔️

- Wine tasting- many great spots. Some favorites of mine are stormcellarwine (they do 2 awesome dinners on the Mesa each year- check it out!), Zen Zen Gardens, Black Bridge Winery 🍷 

- Local brewery- spend time on the dog friendly patio, they also have fun events and live music 🍻 paoniaunitedbrew 

- Walk along the Paonia River Walk- flat and about 1 mile 🌲

- Lunch at Big B’s- this is also a U-Pick orchard during certain times of year, a tasting room for wines and ciders, and you can even camp here! 🍎 visitbigbs 

- paoniabreadworks - loved this spot for coffee & pastries 🥐 ☕️

- Black Canyon of the Gunnison National Park- only about 30
minutes away 🌄 

- Western Culture Farmstead- get some local cheeses, let the goats. A cute sustainable farm 🐐
