What sounds like your night?
Start with the kind of evening you want. These four places give you different reasons to go, and a clear way to check the details before you leave.
01 / Gin & amaro
Elevation 5003 Distillery
Start with the botanicals.
Elevation 5003 describes a gin made with juniper gathered around Fort Collins and an amaro aged in used bourbon barrels. That gives a curious gin drinker a specific place to start. Its tasting room offers cocktails and bottles to take home.
Head to the Lemay Avenue tasting room. Check the distillery’s current hours before setting out.
02 / A rum detour
Gnebriated Gnome
Take the rum route.
Gnebriated Gnome gives rum a fantasy-adventure setting. Start with its own spirits list, then check the tasting-room page for your visit. The official site also lists an event calendar and describes the venue as family- and pet-friendly.
Use Gnebriated Gnome’s current website for the Lincoln Avenue tasting room. Check its calendar separately if an event is the reason you’re going.
03 / Casks & finishing
NOCO Distillery
Follow what the wood changes.
NOCO describes aging spirits in several cask sizes and using different woods for finishing. If that is the part of spirits you want to explore, its speakeasy and tasting room makes a focused starting point. The distillery recommends reserving ahead.
Book through NOCO’s reservation page. Its daytime bottle-sale and sampling hours are different from cocktail and tasting-room hours.
04 / Dinner & a cocktail
Seed & Spirit Distilling
Make food part of the plan.
Seed & Spirit’s lounge pairs its spirits with oysters and wood-fired dishes. It is the food-led option in this selection when your group wants more than a tasting. The lounge also describes non-alcoholic choices, so everybody need not order a spirit.
Use the lounge’s reservation link for the visit. The homepage names Unit B for the lounge; the general company footer lists Unit C.
How we chose these fourChecked November 14, 2026
Fort Collins city visits. A researched selection, not a ranking or a complete list of local spirits producers.
This guide is based on the distilleries’ own websites, not an anonymous review score or a claimed personal visit. Posted hours, menus and booking terms can change. Use each place’s current page before heading out.
We left out places where current tasting-room access could not be established, and kept former businesses separate from their successors. This is a choice of one evening’s destination, not a route to visit every bar.
