The Best Patios in Collingwood and Calabogie: Where to Sip, Snack, and Soak Up the Sun

Stay the weekend

There’s just something about patio season. That first sip in the sun. That first laugh that carries into the warm evening air. It’s the season where everything slows down just enough to feel like a vacation - even if you’re only a few blocks from home.

At Somewhere Inn, we take our patios seriously. Because sunny days, shared drinks, and fresh air with friends? That’s the good stuff.

If you’re looking for the best patios in Collingwood and Calabogie, we’ve got two of them. Both are tucked into boutique hotel properties designed for slowing down and soaking it all in.

Brooky’s Wine Bar: A Hidden Garden Patio in Collingwood

Just steps from downtown Collingwood, Brooky’s Wine Bar is quietly home to one of the most charming garden patios in town. Think picnic tables under a shady tree canopy, comfy loungers, lawn games, and lush flowerbeds. Whether you're sipping solo or catching up with friends, this is the kind of space that makes you want to stay awhile.

The menu is seasonal and always changing, built around what’s fresh, what we’re loving, and what pairs best with a good glass of wine. Our wine portfolio - curated in partnership with Gibson & Co. - features natural, organic, and biodynamic bottles from producers around the world. Not into wine? There’s also Ontario craft beer and double-shot espresso drinks on offer.

It’s a true hidden gem for locals and travellers alike, and an easy detour from Blue Mountain if you're looking for something a little more relaxed and a lot more local.

Somewhere Inn Calabogie Wine Bar: A Scenic Patio with Serious Chill

In the Ottawa Valley, Somewhere Inn Calabogie offers one of the best patios around - a full acre of licensed outdoor space with views of a wildflower meadow and Calabogie Lake just beyond. It’s the perfect post-hike, post-paddle, post-sauna spot to kick back and enjoy the good weather.

The wine list features our signature lineup of small producers - with a focus on organic, biodynamic, and low-intervention bottles. You’ll also find nostalgic camp-style eats like tater tots and corn dogs - simple, snacky, and exactly what you want with a crisp white or chilled red. And when the sun sets, you can gather around one of the fire pits and keep the night going.

No reservations needed. Just show up and grab a seat in the sun.

Come sip with us in the sun.
