Travel Wisconsin: Summer sipping

A great time outdoors at LedgeStone Vineyards (Brown County) 

• About halfway between Green Bay and the Fox Cities, the winery is nestled at the foot of the Niagara Escarpment in Greenleaf. 

• On sunny days, you’ll want to grab a table on the patio or set up lawn chairs and a picnic blanket on the grounds. 

• Then share a bottle of wine with your crew. LedgeStone specializes in barrel-aged reds and dry whites. 

• LedgeStone also shares the taproom with Gnarly Cedar Brewery for folks who prefer a well-brewed beer. 

• Fill up on small bites and entrees just as crafted as the wine. 

• Consider visiting for one of the Thursday night summer concerts or stretch out during yoga on Monday evenings. 

Wine and pizza on Wisconsin’s West Coast (Trempealeau County) 

• Near the Mississippi River, take in a double-dose of summer fun by savoring locally produced wine and farm-fresh pizza. 

• Elmaro offers several ways to enjoy the wine and property. 

• You can go with a tasting of wines where you’ll sample dry, semi-sweet and sweet varieties. Or choose a unique experience like a picnic package among the vines. 

• The family farm is tucked away in a valley, which is washed in golden light on summer evenings. 

• You’ll be wowed by the stone-fired pizzas made fresh to order. 

• In between slices, enjoy live music from talented local artists and play lawn games for a perfect way to wrap up a summer day. 

Three cheers for Three Lakes Winery in Oneida County
