We cannot wait to go back and have another glass!

The nut mix is so crunchy and perfectly salty- matches perfectly with any wine. The service is fantastic- warm and welcoming so much that this wine cottage feels like a second home!

(50 golden stars if I could!)…read more Helioterra in Door County is a true gem, and Kim made my entire experience unforgettable. From the moment I walked in, she was warm, professional, and incredibly engaging. Her knowledge of the wines, vineyards, and stories behind each bottle brought the tasting to life in such a fun and approachable way. Kim has that rare talent of being both informative and entertaining--she answered every question with ease, tailored recommendations to my palate, and made me feel like a valued guest rather than just another visitor. The wines themselves are outstanding (the Pinot Noir and Mourvèdre were highlights), but it was Kim's passion and expertise that elevated the experience into something exceptional. The tasting room is cozy, stylish, and welcoming, with a beautiful lineup of Oregon-crafted wines not commonly found in the Midwest. Pair that with a thoughtfully curated cheese board, and you've got one of the best afternoons you can spend in Door County. If you're anywhere near Fish Creek, Helioterra is a must-visit--and do yourself a favor: ask for Kim. She's the heart of the experience and deserves not just 5 stars, but 50 golden ones.

Got seated and had to wait a bit for our server as they didn't have a lot of staff on a 'sleepy weeknight', but we got our orders in, enjoyed our great salad and good Italian Wedding Soup. The bread is also amazing. I REALLY was set on getting veal, but sadly they were out for the night. I pivoted to the Chicken Carbonara. My wife got the Spaghetti and Meatballs. The Carbonara was very good. Super tender chicken with a very creamy pasta. The meatballs in the Spaghetti were fantastic. The pasta was good as well. There was a guitar player strumming soft tunes while we ate, and most of us were on the porch (inside), with a couple of groups of 6-8 in the dining area. It was too cold for anyone to be outside. Definitely will be back as it was quite good food!

Don't come here if you're hopping from winery to winery (you will be sorely disappointed when faced with real wine). If you've never heard of vitis vinifera, this winery is NOT for you. It IS, however, for those who appreciate fine wines (as opposed to the alcoholic fruit beverages served at most Wisconsin wineries). Stone's Throw appears to be one of only three Wisconsin wineries producing truly fine wines (along with Blind Horse Winery in Kohler and Von Stiehl Winery in Algoma). Yes, the atmosphere is pretentious. But that pairs well with their fine Zinfandel. I was so impressed, I joined their wine club. Cheers! I will work on getting them to provide palate cleansing crackers and water with their tastings, but the lack thereof is a minor weakness.

This was a tricky review to write because we so wanted to love this place! The food and wine were…read moreboth delicious, though we did wait probably an hour to get our food. Once we did eat it, we liked everything! Our main complaint was that we felt like the staff was annoyed that we were there. We came in with a reservation for 7 people and when we told the hostess they said "seven?" with a bit of a tone. We were met with several eye rolls throughout our experience, like when we asked for an extra plate, napkin, fork, and our bill (they did not bring enough for our whole party). There was nice live music being played and it's beautiful outside. There was a nail sticking out of the table and we mentioned it and they just said "okay" with no apology or solution which I also thought was odd. The stools were also pretty high up for the table, so we could not fit our legs underneath. I think our server was very stressed because it seemed to be fairly understaffed and I think that dipped into the level of service. Management or ownership definitely needs to find more staff or step in as servers, because it seemed like 3 servers were responsible for the entire place. I wouldn't be back, but I could guess the service would be better if they had more staff, which I know can be tricky toward the end of summer. It's a beautiful place in a great location, they just could use more staff so they are not so overwhelmed.
