    Ten Bears is a nice little winery near Fort Collins. There is space to have parties, the venue is family friendly, and the wine is good! The owner and his sister are very nice! Great conversation and fantastic pricing. I recommend stopping by if you want something else than a brewery! Try the American Symphony, it's delicious!!

    Stopped in with a friend on a weekday afternoon and had so much fun! I called ahead and the owner said, although it is a slow time of year (Feb), he would be happy to open for a tasting. When was the last time you had service like that?! It was $6 for a tasting and I lost track of how many wines we tasted because he was so generous. I have included pictures of the menu which is quite extensive! My favorite was reminiscent of a sauv blanc and I took a bottle home. Most bottles are under $20. Follow them on Facebook for summer updates that may include live music and movie nights!

    What a lovely gem! I drove up from Denver and am so happy I did. Bill was super friendly and accommodating upon my arrival. I chose 6 wines to taste on the patio. What a beautiful setting. It was such a perfect and peaceful place to spend an hour or so. Well worth the drive!

    Best winery I have ever been to and I used to work in the wine business! Multiple things to compliment: 1. The hours! This is a family business : They are closed on Mondays but my friend called and Bill the owner opened up so we could drink a flight and buy a few bottles! 2. The scenery! Omg it is scenic northern Colorado on steroids! The family land is adjacent to the tasting room and you feel like you have stepped into another world far away from the busy streets of Fort Collins or Denver. 3. The taste! The wine is all grown local or bottled local and tastes amazing. Some Colorado wine is meh but Bill has the nose and taste buds for this business! We found out he worked at Budweiser for 15 years before opening his own tasting room so he knows what to look for in the perfect "combination" 4. Colorado friendliness at its finest! Bill and his family were the perfect hosts! Taking the time to walk us through their wines, their local community, and teach us about growing wine! Best afternoon trip ever!

    Beautiful spot for sipping wine and hanging with old friends and new.

    Zero stars! Terrible. The winemaker/owner was viable drink, rude, verbally abusive, and the wine is terrible. Do. Not. Visit.

    7/31/25: Short version - if I could give 10 stars I would. Location, staff, wine & food selections,…read morecommunication -- 10 stars across the board. It was a wonderful experience! One word of caution, though. Not to put you off visiting, but just a heads up: Larimer County only allows the winery to have 11 vehicles in their parking lot. A wine tasting reservation does secure you a spot. Long version - we were visiting Loveland, CO (from Phoenix, AZ) for a very short trip & wanted to cram in as much as we possibly could. Blendings was one of the first wineries we found doing a Google search for the area. What a fantastic place, no joke. We made the reservation online, and not gonna lie, I got nervous about the 11-car limit. I sent an e-mail to a couple of their "Contact Us" addresses. One did not go through. When I reached out to them via Facebook, someone replied almost immediately, thanking me for letting them know about the bad e-mail & also confirming that yes, a tasting reservation guarantees your car has a spot in their parking lot. Now that is excellent customer service. When we arrived this particular Thursday for our 4 o'clock reservation, it was to a gorgeous spot. Green vineyards, a babbling brook, a gorgeous & well decorated eating / tasting area, a beautiful patio for more tasting ambiance, plus a couple more covered areas in their small side yard. Katie welcomed us with a cheery hello & bright smile. She was very friendly as we navigated through our confusion over the reservation. She was giving us a 4-flight tasting when we reserved the Blendings Experience (6 flights, charcuterie plate, bottle to take home) ... or so we thought. Turns out, we weren't paying attention to their website when we signed up & clicked on the other link, the one for the 4-flight tasting. She was super sweet though & said the Blendings master could be there in 30 min if we wanted to go that route. Not wanting to rush anyone because of our screw up -- and because we were thirsty now! :-) -- we opted to go w/ the normal tasting. What a treat that was. Probably a good thing, too, because the flights were generous pours; I don't think I could have handled 2 more pours. LOL! With all the wine consumption, we ordered a veggie plate, as well as a charcuterie plate. Plus, Katie gave us some spicy saltines to go with it. Tasty! The hummus w/ the veggies had a little kick to it, & the small pita pockets were perfect. The charcuterie plate had some wonderful cheese slices, a nice selection of olives (you could choose to go w/ nuts instead of olives), plus the meat & crackers. It was so good we ordered a 2nd charcuterie. There was an excellent selection of wines to choose from the tasting menu. One or two I wanted they were out of, but we were also able to substitute from their other selections. They also had a couple special seasonal wines, as well as some cocktails, on top of a few frozen wine slushie concoctions. Too many choices. We totally should have taken an Uber/Lyft. Ha Ha! We got through our flights, then tried a few of their cocktails: Old Fashioned, Lavender Lemonade, and one of their frozen. Every single one was delicious. All in all, we spent a couple hours at Blendings. We could have spent so much longer, but then we totally would have needed a ride home. We bought a few bottles of their sweet wines: Strawberry Blonde, Caramel Apple, and Blue Me Away. It was a hard decision to make, which bottles to buy. If you are ever in the Fort Collins or Loveland area and want to have a fantastic wine-tasting experience, you should reserve a tasting at Blendings Winery. You'll have a memorable experience.

When I came I saw that this place is basically a smaller mom-and-pops winery, which offered 4 of their own wines, including other wines that they imported and fermented themselves. So, I just ordered their own wines. You can taste 4 wines from a list. Luckily, all 4 were from their own Colorado home vines. I sat outside at a table looking over their vineyards. I ended up buying a single glass of their white wine. I had a good time and the prices weren't bad. Plus, they had a few cute pups (Tucker the Golden Retriever!) come up to me to keep me company. Give a Colorado winery a chance since their make their own wine from their own grapes! See my attached pictures!

They explained the process of making each cheese and how they get different flavors and sharpness with some of the cheeses. They also paired the cheese with two different wines they provided. We brought our own little charcuterie board to eat with our cheese and wine. Everything was very delicious. The instructor was very nice. The servers were very friendly as well. This is something I would definitely do again. So I hope they do it again because I believe this was a special event.

They also offer meads, mulled cider, and an entirely new food menu that pairs perfectly with the drinks. There's clearly a lot of thought going into the experience now. We also heard a new deck area is coming soon, plus plans for a paella night--which honestly sounds amazing and gives us even more reason to come back. If you haven't been to Snowy Peaks recently, it's absolutely worth another visit. They're doing great things and it's becoming a must-stop spot in Estes Park.

    Nice second stop at Odell yesterday. We started with a flight, as well as splitting a can (not on…read moredraft) of the Limerado. We liked the latter enough, so we took a six-pack, priced at only $8.99, home with us. Honestly, this one may have been my favorite. As far as the flight, we both liked the Lagerado the best and each enjoyed another pint of that after finishing the flight. I also liked the Kernel Mexican lager, although we both agreed it had a bit of a weird taste. The 90 Shilling is always a safe bet. Further confirmation neither of us like pilsners, that one wasn't great, and the Old Doods stout wasn't our jam either. It was a lovely day, so we sat outdoors relatively early on a Sunday. Plenty of shady seating for us. Counter service was very friendly too. We'll definitely be back next time we're in Ft. Collins.

Basically Vintages is a small batch winery located in the heart of old town Fort Collins. They have been open for about ten years and they specialize in people coming in and handcrafting their own wine which they then make in house. The way the whole process works is that you come in and have a wine tasting with one of their fantastically knowledgeable winemakers. They run through a huge gambit of wine varieties from all over the world in an effort to teach you about wine and hone you taste to what you prefer. After that there is no obligation but you can order a case of wine and have it made there for you. Once you wine is ready, you come back in to bottle, label and cork your wine. The wine is priced by the case, and is very cheap when compared to buying commercial wine. The wines we tasted were fantastic and the option of making your own is fun and also cost effective. I would definitely recommend this as a fun date or for anyone who wants to learn more about wine. It is also perfect for those more knowledgeable in wine and looking to stock their personal cellar or give out their own wine as a fun gift. The service was excellent and the winery itself was charming for just being in a strip mall setting. The owner even gave the person in our group six free bottles of wine for just bringing her friends in. It was an excellent experience overall.

I tend towards red wines, but I've been pleasantly surprised by some of the options outside of my normal comfort zone. The Blanchard wines themselves can be more traditional with neat California wines, and sometimes pleasantly funky with the Colorado grapes. They also highlight other great wines from across the country to uplift other lovely bottles you'd never find otherwise. Isn't that fun? The team here is lovely. They're informed and helpful without feeling snobby or elitist like some winemakers can be. I love to ask "Can I have a flight of your current favorites" and I find a new favorite every time. I've been served by Bre, Paige, Madi, Jencee, Claire, and a few others over the last year, and every single staff member deserves a shoutout of their own. Nothing but great conversation and great service from them. Tonight specifically Jencee rocked a crazy busy day all by herself, and was quick and efficient while being so nice and kind to everyone who walked in the door. That kind of service inspired this review. Finally, the location, right? This is easily the best patio in FoCo, complete with fire pits in the winter and big umbrellas for shade in the summer! It's kinda fun to sit and celebrate in a spot where everyone can see you with your fancy wine and charcuterie! ‍ The interior is cute, the exterior is lovely, what more is there to love? I'm a huge fan of the Exchange area, and I'm so glad Blanchard Family Wines is a part of it. What a gem!
