    The choices of samples
    Kathy C.

    What a beautiful farm! We drove from Chicago on a rainy Sunday. I wish the weather was better, but that couldn't be helped. It would have been nice to stroll around the apple orchard. You can pay $10 for 14 low alcohol samples or $15 for high alcohol content samples. Personally, I couldn't handle more than 5 samples, so I stuck with the free ones and gave our great hostess a big tip instead. The drinks were very tasty, but then again, I love cider brew, especially in the autumn. I wish there was a sampler that I could have purchased with 3 ounce bottles so that I could take them back on an airplane. Unfortunately, I was unable to take anything home with me. We definitely will return again if we are visiting the area in the fall or spring.

    Aeppeltreow is a hidden gem. I stumbled upon it a few years ago when my friends and I came to Brightonswood for apple picking and it quickly became a yearly tradition. If you like unique wine- you need to make a stop here. All of their wine, ciders and spirits are made with apples and pears on site, and they offer free tastings so that you can try before you buy! I personally thoroughly enjoyed the apple wine and the spiced cider the most, but all the options were delicious. The spirits were STRONG. They packed a punch and boy they are delicious with a mixer. As if the drinks didn't speak for themselves, to top it all off- the staff made the experience. They instantly made us feel comfortable and we laughed so much at the funny stories and jokes! The experience was very interactive. The prices were very reasonable and we will be enjoying our wine and cider from home! What a wonderful spot.

    Visiting the winery is a fun "aside" to a trip to Brightonwoods orchard. The people minding the tasting bar are friendly and helpful without being overbearing or pushy for you to buy something. It is true that they mostly have apple and pear wines, but don't let this cause you to hesitate in the least. Spirits fans are encouraged to try the Brown Dog Sorghum Whiskey- interesting! Keep an open mind and a glass in your hand for best results!

    Impressed by dedication to mask wearing! The wine, cider, and spirits tasting was great with uniques flavors that I've never experienced before. Highly recommend the spiced cider and blackberry cider. Small fall market offered beautiful apples, squash, honey, and other fall treats!

    This place is a treasure. It's only a little bit of a hike from the city and you get amazing fall produce, the MOST delicious apples, in the country store. Apple cheese dip? So unique and appetizing. Apple cider? The best I've ever had. Plus the winery portion is super cool and down home. You can do a tasting (including some freebies) and they are super open to answering questions and giving recommendations. Will definitely go back!

    Always look forward to the opportunity to stop at AeppelTreow when I'm in the area. They have an excellent variety of exemplary ciders and the spirits are top shelf! I've enjoyed getting to know Charles & Milissa over the years I've been visiting and look forward to catching up with them whenever the chance arises! AeppelTreow is a must visit when in SE WI AND they now ship their cider so I'd highly recommend ordering some to experience for yourself. Cheers!

    What a fun place. A winery that specializes in hard ciders, this orchard provides a relaxing afternoon opportunity to taste ciders and have a picnic. Tastings are very cheap. Free for 5 samples; $5 for tasting all the ciders (16 I believe); and $10 for tasting all the ciders plus 4 distillery options. We opted for the $10 tasting and there were just so much to try. In hindsight, I would just stick to the $5. The owner was very knowledgable and was great at answering our questions. Before coming here, we had bought take out so we were able to eat lunch picnic style on the lawn and even take a nap. Most relaxing afternoon ever. This place is a bit out of the way but definitely worth a visit. Everything is created in house and 200 varieties of apples are used to create the ciders.

    First of all, I love cider, and I was pretty excited to hear there was a winery/cidery whatever you want to call it nearby. I was also excited about the idea of seeing them work and checking out the orchards and doing a tour, but that didn't happen, so that's my main reason for doing 4 stars. Tours are just so fun, and you learn a lot from them. Anyways, you can do 5 free tastings, pay $5 for all the ciders and a couple dessert wines, or pay $10 and try everything. We went for the 5 free tastings, and that was more than enough. Usually I love dessert wines, but I was not a big fan of the brandy or the dessert wines surprisingly. The ciders/bruts and so on were really good. I like British style cider, and I enjoyed the Sparrow chai-flavored cider so much that I bought a bottle. And it was only $10! Good deal. In any case, definitely a different experience from your typical winery, and they make some pretty good cider. I don't believe they really sell to any stores or restaurants, so you should stop by to stock up!
