I just left Ten Bears where I was there for about one hour with 2 girlfriends. The owner, William,…read morewas already visibly intoxicated (with 2 glasses of wine for himself nearby, a red and a white). Pretty quickly over the following 60 minutes he became verbally aggressive, psychologically abusive, and patronizing to myself and my girlfriends. I have NEVER in my life had this experience, and I have traveled all over the US and the world, interacting with thousands of people from countless cultures. William literally flipped a switch and began telling us "I have kicked people out of here before who were above you, and you are here" indicating with his hands that we were below whomever he had an experience with in the past. He also told one of my girlfriends that she doesn't know wine and that she is a "condescending bitch", because she was engaged in a conversation with him about his wines. I invited William to sit at our table with us early on (which he did) and when he switched to the drunk monster that he truly is, I saw it in his eyes. It is VERY obvious that this individual has LOTS of issues he needs to work through and is currently using alcohol as a coping mechanism, while also verbally assaulting his female customers. Unfortunately, we were the only 3 people in the tasting room and had we had a male with us, we surely would not have had the same experience. I immediately began to shut down (trauma response) and tears began streaming down my face. Normally with this type of male (gaslighting, condescending, and toxic to the nth degree), I would have been overly confrontational but the things he said and the look in his eyes, I knew that it was in my best physical health to not fully engage. I looked at him right before we left and said "I want you to know that this feeling, the tears I can't control, are real and you alone caused this". He then made fun of me for my tears and told us to leave as we were trying to pay. We obviously left and were and still are in complete shock. This individual needs to not only seek mental and substance use help but also should not be running a winery. Do NOT go to Ten Bears, especially if you are alone, are a group of women, and/or care about the safety of women. Ladies, go to Sweetheart Winery in Loveland, never had an issue there.

I was pretty hungry but we were assured that the small is perfect for two and she was absolutely correct. The board was presented beautifully with a wonderful combination of cheeses, nuts, fruits, and meats. It went so well with their wines. All of the wines we tried were excellent, my favorite was the 5 barrel Cab Sauv. Loved the space, the food, their wines, and the service..definitely worth a visit if you are in the area!

Asked him to play his choice of any Tom Petty song and he nailed it with American Girl. We didn't have any food but we did buy three different bottles of wine to share within our party of 12. I enjoyed the Barbera from their Lodi, CA signature series. All the staff we encountered were friendly and helpful.

Came here to do some wine tasting. Before I came I made sure that this place offers wine that they…read moremake from their own grapes. 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.

There were about 12 people inside watching Phantom when we got there and we received waves and compliments from several.

I ended up getting their Halloween special which was their spiced mead made blue with spirulina called the Draugr and my spouse got their oak barrel aged mead. We watched part of Phantom and part of Nosferatu before we left around 9pm because it was getting late. We had a great time and the atmosphere was really chill. We hope to be back soon.

Not a lot for food so don't expect a dinner of any sort just small nosh things. Price was really good and we did enjoy trying the different flavors and figuring out our favorites. The only drawback I have to say about this place is truly not enough room to sit especially if they get busy. There was a private party on what I believe to be their back patio, which is good to know if anyone was looking for a very small venue. All in all cute place, good mead a great little place for a quick meet up but definitely will make you cozy up to your neighbor.

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.

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.
