    Wine with a view!
    Marie C.

    Cutest little winery! They've got all you need in a winery: private parking lot, gorgeous vineyard with plenty of outdoor seating (including a patio swing), indoor seating, and really friendly staff. Oh AND they've got snacks and beer for those who don't want to partake in wine. Great place for a date night, girls night, or a group! Would love to make another visit to Cracked Barrel this summer!

    Serene atmosphere with the friendliest owner! This is a great place to kick back and enjoy some delicious wine with family and friends. The inside is quaint, but has a few spots to sit at the bar as well as a handful of tables. The patio overlooks acres of vineyards and each table is paired with adjustable umbrellas. The scenery is truly so peaceful. I started off with a flight and ended up liking Station best, so I ordered a bottle. They also offer appetizers and snack plates to munch on too.

The vineyard landscape is BEAUTIFUL and makes for the perfect relaxing night or afternoon. The refreshing white wine pictured was delicious and perfect for a warm day outside. The flatbread was exactly what you'd expect for a light winery snack, but super reasonably priced which I appreciate! Definitely bring a DD so you can take advantage of their awesome bottle pricing instead of just ordering by the glass! Their social media is also worth checking out because they host so many fun events like yoga, concerts, private events, and more. Such a peaceful atmosphere with great vibes all around. Can't wait to come back!

When you arrive, there is ample parking up the winding road, and the slight elevation provides a great vantage to look out at the surrounding hills. There are several spots to sip wine, both inside and outside. There is capacity for large events with many-sectioned outdoor bar and an entire tent in the back. MN wine is no my favorite in general, but I really enjoyed the wine slushies on a hot day. Worth visiting to drink and eat and enjoy the scenery!! PS. I also witnessed a guest have a medical episode, and the staff were extremely attentive and caring in making sure the individual was recovering.

Outdoors on the patio under an umbrella on a sunny summer day with a glass of wine and a slice of gourmet wood fire pizza is heavenly. If you happen to stop in when there's live music, even better!

My favorite offerings are the 1897 Reserve red wine and the Goat Cheese & Fig Pizza with balsamic glaze. Yum!! But really, we haven't tried anything there that we didn't like. Also important to add that the staff members are friendly and knowledgeable. We have been here so many times that I regret not having taken the time to Yelp them sooner!

On the other side, there was a celebration of life event. The menu was well....interesting. You can get pizza, ribs, s'mores, quesadillas, fudge sundae, strawberry cake or cheese pretzel. The Walmart of Vineyards. Customer service is poor, but I have to imagine that has to do with hiring a bunch of 15-year-olds. There were two adults who served us alcohol that seemed to be a little drunk themselves. If you're looking for something classy and charming, I would skip this place. If you're looking for overpriced Walmart vibes, you'll love it.

We tried a few different flights of wine and flat breads and enjoyed the beautiful view of the vineyard. The place is truly breathtaking, and at the time, they had live music playing outside. Jenna made some very good recommendations and made sure we had everything we needed. ::Caution:: I still gave this place 5 stars because this has nothing to do with the service or the quality of the food or location, but we were picturing a nice, calm brunch, sipping on wine, not a Chuck E Cheese experience. Apparently, we were upgraded to the deluxe Chuck E Cheese package and were seated around lots of parents who decided to bring their young kids to a vineyard. The kids were running wild around tables and crying and screaming. Not one parent corrected their kids' behavior and just let them run around like free-range chickens. There were also people complaining that there were no non alcoholic drinks that they wanted at a vineyard. When I went inside there seemed to be no kids indoors. While another group could not control their kids and kept knocking things off the table, including glasses of wine. No one seemed to mind outdoors because most of the people had young kids, so be warned that this may be a possibility, so research your days before you go. Overall, if you remove the kids running wild and crying, the service was fantastic, the wine was good, lots of parking, the ambiance was incredible, and the food was good.

When we arrived we headed straight to the tasting room. The staff were friendly and attentive. We decided on flights and they were served in proper tasting glasses on a board with oyster crackers. We headed out to the patio where there were several tables set up to enjoy the outdoor space. It was crowded! The yard had tents and trucks set up with activities and games for the kids as well as items for sale from different vendors. The reds were actually pretty good. I didn't know what to expect from grapes grown in WI but we had a good experience. We enjoyed music from the band and hung out in a nice relaxing atmosphere. We were checked on by the staff several times and were never left waiting for service. We enjoyed our time at Bunnycup Winery and will visit again.

    Bunny Cup Winery: Where the Wine Is Legit and the Vibe Doesn't Suck…read more Looking for your next destination or the perfect pit stop before bolting from the Twin Cities? Look no further--Bunny Cup Winery is your move. Just 20 minutes from Taylors Falls, MN (or St. Croix Falls, WI if you swing that way), Bunny Cup sits in the heart of Wisconsin cabin country--Luck, WI, right by Balsam Lake. Owned and operated by a down-to-earth couple from Woodbury, MN, this place is pouring up small-batch wines that are bold, fun, and not trying to be Napa. And thank God for that. You won't find any of that overpriced "barely flavored vinegar water" here--nope. Just real-deal, full-flavor wines that you'll actually want to drink again. Their motto? "Seriously Unfussy." Their energy? Spot on. Bring the kids. Bring your dog. Bring your weird uncle. No one's judging. Add in food trucks like Drool-Worthy Creations (yes, that's us) and live music from local legends, and you've got the kind of afternoon that makes summer feel like it used to. New destination? Maybe. Unexpected tradition in the making? Absolutely. Make the drive. Make a memory. See you this weekend.

We didn't know what to expect, but we went for a tasting and ended up staying for lunch - and I'm so glad we did. The tasting was a minimal $7.50 per person for three wines, and they even gave us a bonus pour of a special wine that was absolutely delicious (we couldn't resist buying a bottle!). We ended up purchasing four bottles total, which earned us our tastings for free plus a 5% discount on the wine - a great deal for such quality selections. Lunch was just as impressive. The salad was fresh and crisp, the meats and cheeses on the charcuterie board were perfectly chilled and flavorful, and the sandwich was fantastic, especially paired with the delicious pasta salad that came with it. The atmosphere was cozy and inviting, with a beautiful rustic feel that made it seem like we had been transported out of Wisconsin and into the European countryside. The entire facility was stunning, the staff were warm and welcoming, and the wine was excellent. Beautiful place, wonderful people, and great wine. We'll definitely be back to sit outside and order pizza and wine. (Note: they do have heaters outside, so even though it was pretty chilly out on November 1, we could still have set outside and enjoyed ourselves.)

    Our first time at Villa Belleza for a wine tasting experience…read more We were only there for a wine tasting so we did not have an opportunity to have lunch. My first impression of the property is that it is beautiful. They did a nice job with the property. The outdoor vineyard and wedding area is also quite lovely. The property was clean, restrooms clean, nice outdoor patio for dining. For the wine tasting, our hostess did a nice job explaining the various wines as we moved through the tasting menu. I didn't catch her name but she was very nice. We also briefly met Matt who was also very friendly. I felt the majority of wines were more on the sweet side, however, there were definitely several that leaned dry. I would t necessarily call any of them "full bodied". For Wisconsin wines, these were actually pretty good. The pours were generous compared to pours you may receive when tasting in Napa, Sonoma or Paso Robles so well worth the price. I would recommend stopping in and visiting Villa Belleza!

When we arrived the signs were a bit confusing as to where to go, we ended up pulling up to the house at the top of a hill but were given instructions to drive around the building past the bathrooms. When we got there there were carts to help us load and tote our stuff up to the camp site. There were multiple paths up to our site which was nice. The first night we decided to eat at the winery. We ordered a pizza, got a bottle of the sweet red wine and they had board games we could play as we waited for the pizza to cook. They wood fire Heggies pizza. We got a chicken Alfredo one which was really good, we ended up getting a second one. They had $10 wine slushies. Cath the bartender put us on to mixing the flavors. Both were really good and began our fav/go to drink for the weekend. Also Cath had great customer service and was there all weekend which was nice! She was great. We stayed at site 3 and it was a decent size, had a smaller 2 person bench/table, fire pit and was very well shaded. When it rained we didn't get too flooded out which was nice. The rest of the experience was mostly on us to make, during the day we took a walk and explored the vineyard. They had a few grapes growing, they also have yurts you can rent which is nice if you want to go full glamp. They were spacious and kind of had their own areas which in the vineyard. I will say there was a larger staying down by the yurts and we could hear them most of the night up in the woods where we were. Also live music at the tasting room/courtyard on Saturdays. They started around 12:30pm and went late into the evening. We could hear the music from our campsite which was nice. It rained that night so it started outside then they moved the music inside. Something to do though. They do have a coffee room that is open 24hrs which is nice. They sell snacks and stuff in there as well. Generally it was a good first experience/intro to camping despite it being a cold, rainy, summer weekend but I'd do it again.
