You could really pick any amount of wines to try instead of being locked into to specific number. We tried 5 traditional wines, which were all very tasty and 1 ice wine which neither of us had tried before. It was also really good. Service was very friendly and helpful and I enjoyed the way the tasting was done where you could sit in one of their two seating areas and sample at your own pace vs having to stand at the bar.

The Wines were definitely the best we sampled from any of the other wineries in town. The space is really nice and very large, plenty of different places to sit and sample. The service was informative and very welcoming. We did a couple of flights and and really enjoyed quite a few. The prices are reasonable as well. Not much more to say, great space, friendly and very good wines. Make sure you check it out when your in Cedarburg.

They have a very large selection of cheeses from Wisconsin, the US, and abroad, with lots of unique offerings. We tried a chicken soup Monterrey jack and a mustard Gouda, both of which we really enjoyed. The chicken soup cheese actually tastes like chicken broth from a rich soup, which was definitely a new experience. The room is decorated and bright, and felt like a great spot to stop on a Saturday afternoon. It's a nice change of pace from the usually-crowded bars through downtown Cedarburg. You should be aware that the tasting room apparently can't serve charcuterie boards themselves because of the class of license (maybe no food service cert.) but they're happy to help you enjoy any of the cheeses you purchased in the store and offer you some wine(s) to accompany them. The bartender graciously offered us some crackers to go with the plate and we were able to put together a satisfying little wine tasting experience! The one thing I would like to see is a few more wines on offer for the wine flights; at the time, they were a bit heavy on sweet white wines, which is just not my taste but may be popular in the area. They also have a cocktail list, beers, and their own brand of several liquors, so there are plenty of options. We will be back for a nice afternoon glass of wine and some cheese. It's also a good source of reasonably priced cheeses and wine if you want to have a picnic at the parks nearby.

If you want new options for wines this is a great place to start. They have a small variety but…read morethey have tastings/flights and the signage is very helpful to understand the tastes of each wine offered. The pricing is good and you could easily make a stop with a group of friends and enjoy a sampling while learning about the options. The only reason I did not give it 5 stars is that the tasting/flights did not allow a cross selection of flavors. I like sweet but I wanted to try and learn about all the other options. The groupings are set and do not cross sweetness options. That is too bad and I did not buy anything because I didn't have the opportunity to learn about another option. However, this is a great place. Take your time and take home a nice wine to enjoy later.

I wish I could give the winery a higher score. I have been coming here since the 70s. And I have…read morebeen going to the winery itself for many years. Although they do have a couple of good wines, most of their wines I find are either too sweet, or not up to par with other wineries around Wisconsin that I have tried. The last time we were there, there was a very small selection for the tastings that you could choose. It is changed a lot in the last few years. There are fewer wines to sample, and that's a bit disappointing. If you happen to like sweet wines, then I would suggest trying one of theirs. I think they do well with the sweet wines. It is just not something that I enjoy. And there used to be a place where you could sit next to the river and buy a bottle of wine and cheese and sit outside. Sadly, those days are gone because there's a restaurant there now. But I do believe they have a small spot on the parking lot side that you can sit at and enjoy.

They also have wine and tropical merchandise to purchase. The wines are made from tropical fruits. The range from sweet to dry and are offering free wine tasting. You are given a sheet that list all the wines and you have the opportunity to try six wines. Plus you get to try a wine slushy. Some of the wines I tried were: key lime, white gold peach, Florida banana (tasted like eating a fresh banana), coco polada (their take on a pina colada), and strawberry blush. The Hot Sun is their take on a bloody mary and smells like a tomato. Overall, it was a great experience and the wine pours are very generous. The bartenders were very nice and you can tell they were having fun explaining all the wines. Definitely a must try!

We stopped into Sunshine Winery during our latest trip to Cedarburg. For one, there was a sign that…read moresaid "Free Samples" so we couldn't pass that by, plus it was a new place from when we were here in November & love checking out new businesses! We came just after opening on a Friday- Megan, the owner, was there to great us and was very friendly and answered questions we had about the wine and smoothie mixes they have for sale. None of the wines are made by "Sunshine Winery" but instead are all brought in from a winery in Florida. The craziest thing is that NONE of the wines in the shop contain any grapes. I have never tried a wine that didn't have grapes in it!! We took advantage of the great offer to sample any 6 wines- I am not a huge fan of banana flavored items but decided to taste the banana wine and it tastes just like a banana laffy taffy! My favorite was probably the "Blueberry Blue" - it was listed under a dry wine but I would say it still had a sweet finish. I do think most of the wines I tried are too sweet to enjoy much more than a glass but I am still amazed that there are that many wines made from non-grape fruits. I think it will be an even better place to visit once they are able to sell wine by the glass. Again, I wasn't ready to commit to being able to drink a bottle of the wine since it was sweet but would definitely come in for a glass. The location is super cute & full of bright colors. The also sell smoothies & we sampled two of the flavors while here- they are designed to be made with wine mixed in so that will be a great feature too once wine can be sold by the glass. We left with a bottle of the orange cream smoothie mix & I cant wait to try this at home! Thank you for a fun experience during our visit!

After a rest we came back for dinner at the Granary Bourbon bar. We were warmly welcomed. We liked the casual vibe and surprisingly it was not too loud. We started with a flight of old fashioned cocktails. We tried vanilla bean, honeycomb, and our favorite the cinnamon appke. For dinner we both had the Friday perch fry. The perch itself was very good with a nice panko coating. The fries were good too but they could have been warmer. Our server was very attentive and friendly. They were definitely on the game. Can't wait to return!

We went toward the white, given the heat and toward the dry, because we hate sweet wines. Service was friendly and quick. The pours were generous. The wines were much better than I'd expected from a small town winery, located far from any wine country. But the prices per bottle are a little high, which makes sense since they can't rely on economy of scale in production. The tasting, however, is an excellent value. The shop is cute and carries some fun wine related items. They also do classes and allow people to bottle their own wine. Make sure to say hello to the friendly shop dogs.

We were expecting to go outside in the back and see pumpkins and corn stocks or maybe some types of fall festive activities. There was nothing. They did have some pumpkins on the grass.

There were a few people in there, enjoying their wine flights. To be fair, I would try Aspen sky again and just expect to have a wine tasting! The inside was very lovely though. They had a fire pit out in the back and some picnic tables with umbrellas. It looked like it would be cozy on a chilly fall night .

There is ample parking on site making this winery very accessible. We were treated by the friendly bartender who I believe is the owner.

We also ordered a large cheeseboard which was more than enough for two. There are pizzas and soft pretzels available at night on the weekends but since we were here on a Friday afternoon they weren't serving those yet.
