Door County - The Official Visitor Guide 2008 - (Page 60) Wineries & Breweries It’s not Napa Valley, but it may be as close as it gets anywhere in the Midwest. With seven small, independent wineries on the Door Peninsula, the region is host to more than any other area in Wisconsin. Door County’s notoriety as a top-notch wine-producing region has spread like wildfire in recent years. Whether it’s wines made from the local harvest of cherries and grapes, or serious blends using grapes and wines imported from California, Door County is a burgeoning wine-lovers locale. The best way to get acquainted? Visit the wineries for a tasting! Gather your friends or a loved one and tour one of our seven award-winning wineries. Imagine sipping merlot in front of a roaring fire while overlooking fields of vines - or laughing with friends in the garden while sampling wines produced with the fruit of the orchards that surround you. From harvest festivals to outdoor blues concerts, many wineries boast special events that make your visit to their establishment one to remember. On summer afternoons your pilgrimage is often accompanied by live music in the vineyard at Simon Creek or Stone’s Throw wineries. All Door County wineries offer shipping to get your purchases home safely, as well as online purchasing, enabling you to enjoy the taste of Door County year-round. - Myles Dannhausen, Jr. & Dina Boettcher Wineries & Breweries ■ DOOR Peninsula wineRy ✦ 5806 Hwy 42, Carlsville, 800-551-5049, 920-743-7431, dcwine.com, shop.dcwine.com Door County’s original and largest winery features daily tours and free wine tasting of over 51 fruit, fruit-varietal blends, and premium grape wines.
