I just delivered 61 whiskey barrels there. As soon as I pulled in one of the guys came over to my truck and asked if he could help me he radioed the warehouse made sure I was at the right dock and from there I was unloaded. I was unloaded rather fast got the paperwork signed everyone was friendly and I'm headed to my next destination

A gorgeous, tranquil setting to walk around, immerse yourself in history, and get a bottle of chilled, sparkling grape juice to share on the hillside patios if you are not a wine drinker. A beautiful way to spend a fall afternoon.

Incredible view, old buildings, cave, etc. Landscaped really well and beautiful. Wines were good, but nothing really outstanding. The woman pouring the tastings was fun and very personable, but didn't really know which wines were estate ones, and which won awards. Should know that if you are pouring for customers. Met the wine maker and the distiller on our visit, that was fun.

Nestled in the hills outside of Prairie du Sac, Wi is the most beautiful vineyard and distillery combination I've ever seen. The Bistro has awesome quick bites will tons of seating and quiet areas all around the property. The vineyard is well tended and property is georgious. The wine tasting is by a flight of 5 selections with a staff member to guide and help you understand the differences of the selections. Our guide, Sarah, was super friendly, an absolute blast, and very knowledgeable in the product lines. Sarah's guidance was worth the trip alone... And worthy of a good tip! The distillery

One if my favorite Wisconsin Wineries to visit. If visiting you most make time for the on-site Distillery also. Try the Brandy Old Fashioned Cocktail made with house made Brandy and proprietary bitters. Ask for Matt Awesim3 Cocktail Mixer!
