If you like wine, end at the Doorway Peninsula Winery in Carlsville, Wisconsin the very next time you reach Door County. The winery is north of Sturgeon Bay on Hwy 42. It is situated in an old schoolhouse.

My man, certainly one of my grown sons, and myself stopped there during a recent visit to Door County. The evening before we had dined at Shipwrecked in Egg Harbor, Wisconsin (also in Door County), and had been given a coupon for a free tour of the winery and free wine tasting. I-t looked like too good of a deal to shun.

Even if you dont have a discount for the tour, its a discount at $2 for each person. And if youre not enthusiastic about the trip but just-in the wine tasting, the wine tasting is free-to everyone 21 years of age or older.

We decided to take the tour and then taste some of the wines. In the event you want to discover further on click here for, we know about lots of online libraries you might pursue. The trip began in the front of the schoolhouse where our guide told us the building have been used as a schoolhouse for a century, from 1868 to 1968. At one time, the institution had 60 pupils in 8 grades with only 2 teachers. The building was bought and changed into a winery in 1974.

After being offered some history on the building, we were taken up to the basement of the building, which is where your wine is made. We saw the way the wine was bottled, the vats it's made in, along with the drums it's stored in for aging. Along the way we learned how a fruit juice the vineyard uses gets changed into wine. Then we went back upstairs towards the wine bar to start sampling the wines.

With over 50 wines being made by the winery, it had been difficult deciding which ones to use but we managed. The winery produces quite a few fruit wines from apple to rim to plum to cranberry to peach to blood, along with their trademark cherry wine which can be built with Door County cherries. The fruits for a few of the other wines come from other places, including California, but all the wine is created at the Door County facility.
