The Ordinary Fellow has quickly become one of my favorite wineries in Palisade. Strangely enough this actually has little to do with their wine. Don't get me wrong, most of the wines here are easily crushable and I doubt you'll find it hard to enjoy a glass or three. There are some big misses also, but taste is subjective and you absolutely should come here and find out for yourself. Why this is one of my favorite places in Palisade boils down to the layout of their space and overall vibe of the building.Their setup is quite unique to the area, providing an atmosphere that town has sorely been missing. There is no pretentiousness or wine snobbery to be found here. Just come relax on a couch and taste some good vino made by passionate people. Have it served and presented to you in a relaxed setting by a chill but knowledgeable person. Come hang out with friends and have a few glasses. Shop for some local art and homemade goods while your here. It's all no big deal man. It's all good.This massive warehouse is more than just a tasting room, it is a community gathering and event space. There is always a food truck at hand ready to help soak up some of that vino, as well as a giant well-appointed covered patio to vibe on. Maybe most importantly; they are open later than any other winery in town, making this either the perfect last stop on your tasting tour or best place to hang out in the early evening when you're not yet ready to switch from wine to world-class bourbon from the distillery next door.The Ordinary Fellow somehow intrinsically knew that there was a void that needed filling in the Palisade wine community. Then they double downed on that knowledge and built one of the state's coolest spaces to enjoy fermented grapes in. Pretty dang cool if you ask me.

Forgive me for waiting so long to post. My husband and I were invited to your dinner and wine tasting at the Wine Country Inn, in January. It was a wonderful evening with great food and great wine. We live in Palisade and didn't know about your establishment. Thank you, for the opportunity to try great wines and great food.

My husband and I stopped in the Ordinary Fellow winery and tasting room in Palisade with our little one on a Monday afternoon in late January and really enjoyed our time here. Visiting in the off season means less crowds and more time with the winemakers! Karo, one of the owners, was pouring wines and was absolutely a delight to chat with. It was so fun learning about the history of the winery in Palisade (fairly new - but if you’ve ever heard of the Infinite Monkey Theorem in Denver, you’ll know their background!). We ended up buying the petit verdot - really unique and flavorful. Our timing didn’t quite line up with their eatery - Le Snack - but would love to come back again and try the food. Definitely will be visiting whenever we’re back!

Amazing tastings!! I could stay here all day. I’ve never tasted such great Rosé, Pinot noirs or Syrah’s!! Karo was soooo sweet and knowledgeable. Will make more trips from Aspen to visit Ordinary Fellow to enjoy their wine!!!

Rude, Rude and Rude, was there on Saturday Bartender was the worst. Bitched at us (8) that we were there too long. Even though we were buying wine. Was back in August still can't believe it.

Great outdoor area. Very nice people. Nice selection of Colorado wines.
Cool atmosphere and the wines were great. The Chardonnay was very buttery and the Cabernet Sauvignon is distinctly peppery. Bold flavors and a lot of varietals.
Dharma Jensen
Great selection of light and refreshing wines with a variety of flavors. Excellent customer service and chill environment.
