PLEASE HELP RECYCLE!
Drop off your plastic bags and canning jars at the orchard and we'll re-use them!
We're always looking for wagons for people to use when they go to our pumpkin patch - feel free to drop off your old or un-used wagons at the orchard!
We're also happy to take any picnic tables you're getting rid of - even if it's just the 'bones' of the table.
Thanks!
Thanks!

An Adventure in Wine
Self-guided Winery Tours went on throughout the entire day along with other classes and talks: Grapevine Pruning Demo, Cooking with Wine Demo and Winemaker Phillippe's Talk. We timed our visit so we could do the self-guided tour first and then sit in on the Grapevine Pruning Demo.
Of course, my favorite part about the Self-guided wine tour was that we were able to have samples of wine all along the way. Our first sample was the Prairie Fume.
Of course, it couldn't have been a beautiful day for this...that would be too easy. It was dreary with a fairly steady sprinkling rain. We had to walk between buildings at times during the tour. Diane would race ahead of us since she had Capri in the umbrella stroller. Above is a picture of some of the grape vines!
To find out more about this wonderful Wisconsin winery make sure to check out there website, http://www.wollersheim.com/. Or if you are in the area the winery is open daily from 10am to 5 pm daily. Tours are also run daily at 10:15, 11:15, 12:15, 1:15, 2:15, 3:15, and 415 and cost $3.50 for adults, children 11 and under are free. Please see their website for more tour information!

Oh, how fun! Random fact, touring Wollersheim has been on my "to-do" list for awhile. I've heard it is a beautiful vineyard.
Also, I highly recommend their River Gold. I typically go for dry red wines but this is by far my favorite sweet wine. I think you'd like it.
Hey - Great report and it looks like you had a nice visit! Excellent photos too! I just ran across your blog and saw the Wollersheim reference. I work with the winery and help with marketing. I'm glad you tried the ice wine - it's such a rare treat that I hate to see people skip it. Did you see that the Prairie Fume' (white) is celebrating a 20th Anniversary this year? It is the best selling Wisconsin wine and has been responsible for the Wollersheim success.
Thanks again for your visit. I hope you'll come back in summer when it's really pleasant to sit out on the terrace and watch the eagles soaring over the bluffs & Wisconsin River.
