WINERIES & BREWERIES

GRAB A DRINK AND MORE AT THESE GROWING DESTINATIONS FOR 21+ PARTIES

A day-trip to a Western Wisconsin winery or brewery can make a great venue for not just a regular party, but an entire immersive experience. You can stay close to home or head out of town for a beautiful countryside drive to any number of destinations. While there, you can not only sample the brews and wines, but you can often take part in behind-the-scene tours, learn about the craft of making beers and wines, snack on a variety of food offerings, and of course do some shopping to bring home their local and unique goods and wares.
