The OBC Wine Project

Tucked beside Odell Brewing, The OBC Wine Project is a relaxed, sunlit wine garden where Fort Collins comes to linger. There’s a roomy dog-friendly patio shared with the brewery, picnic tables that soak up afternoon sun, and a small indoor bar when the weather turns. Service is personal and memorably warm; staffers are known by name and will bend over backwards to fit a group. Wines run the gamut from bright, food-friendly reds to dangerously drinkable froses served slushy from the tap. The place doubles as a community anchor — families, locals, and out-of-towners drift in to split a monthly charcuterie box, trade pours, or kick off wedding weekends with a 150-person welcome party. Parking can be hit or miss, so arrive early for the best patio seats. This isn’t a pretentious tasting room; it’s a hospitable, unfussy spot where wine, beer next door, and Colorado-friendly sunshine collide to create exactly the kind of convivial neighborhood hangout the city needs.
