Most folks don’t think of Wisconsin as wine country, but there are actually four different wine-growing regions here in the Dairy State. No matter where you’re headed in Wisconsin, you can find amazing wine being made from locally grown grapes and other fruits.

Tucked way out west, about an hour past Eau Claire and 45 minutes from the Twin Cities, Belle Vinez is a family vineyard in River Falls. Every generational, family vineyard has to start somewhere and the Zimmerman family is working on creating a true Tuscan-style wine experience in western Wisconsin. You’ll fall in love with Belle Vinez in Wisconsin. Check it out:
