    We stopped in on a Saturday afternoon for wine tasting. First, the venue is beautiful with a nice spacious area for dining, a large bar for wine tasting and a large outdoor patio with views of the vineyard. In the main dining area, there is a stage for bands. We walked up to the bar which was full but found a spot to squeeze in. The wine tasting area had several wine servers behind the bar. We waited for quite some time before a wine server greeted us and asked us what we were interested in tasting. We asked what was offered as far as wine tastings as it appeared there were a couple of different wine tasting events taking place. She looked at us with confusion and asked what we were interested in tasting. We read about the cheese and wine pairing so we said we would do that. We asked about each of the wines and she put the wine & cheese sign with descriptions in front of us and asked what we wanted to do. She couldn't really explain the wine herself. Again, confused why she is asking that since it's 5 wines with a 5 cheese pairing, We said we will just go down the list. She brought us complimentary wine glasses and poured the first wine. She also handed us cheese on toothpicks we all had to figure out how to grab from her fingers. Perhaps a plate or napkin? We waited for about 15 minutes before she came back and she looked at us and said no one is helping you? We thought she would but I guess not. We proceeded down the list, jumbling the cheese on toothpicks, and waited for the next tasting but we were forgotten once again. It took a while but we made it through the tasting. I'm a red wine person but the red wines were sour in my opinion. I realize this is WI and not CA or France so obviously the wine is different. We did buy a couple of bottles of their Pony which is a Rose as well as the ale Crescent. We wanted to purchase a couple of the different cheese that we tasted but they didn't have any to purchase. The venue is beautiful and a great place for events. The wine servers definitely need training in how to service guests and learn about the wine. Also, no one wants to eat out of someone's hands. At least provide napkins they can hand the food to the wine taster with a napkin. .

    Our second winery location is also down the street from the border of Minnesota. This winery is beautiful, with huge parking lot and building. Inside looks like a big cabin, half was a restaurant and the other is retail and bar. You'll order the flights or glass at the bar. There's indoor seating and outdoor that faces the vineyards. My flight came with bites to pair. Which I thought was fabulous. They have a big food menu to order from. Each flight comes with a souvenir glass to take home.

    Wine Slushy Flight

    Delicious wine with beautiful views! We visited on a girls trip to Interstate State Park, and we were so impressed by the beauty of the grounds of Dancing Dragonfly Winery, as well as the delicious slushy flight! For $16 you too can try 4 of the wine slushy flavors. We had margarita, sangria, mango, and pink lemonade. We enjoyed our drinks outside on the patio, with a stunning vineyard view!

    Food is great the view is amazing and the wine is delicious (or ferocious for my phones auto correct) Flatbreads, baguettes with pairing dips, paninis and desserts ! They do group wine tastings ! Ask for Jori she's hilarious ! She's also amazing, beautiful, and, deserves a raise!

    My friends and I came here during a little girls weekend in Taylor's Falls nearby, and this was the perfect little spot to celebrate our trip! There's a beautiful outdoor patio where you overlook the vineyard, with some shaded and some sunny seating. I didn't see any indoor seating, but I'm sure it's in a back room somewhere that we didn't see. The minute you walk in there's a wall covered in their wine, a cute little gift shop area, and a large wine bar to place your orders. It's very cozy and Tuscan feeling, exactly what you want in a wine bar! The service here was excellent - John at the counter was an all-star for us! He was great at recommending different wines based on what we liked, and going through each wine we were interested in and allowing us to taste it. He was so fun and patient with our group of 7, it really made our experience! After trying a couple of the wines, myself and two others loved Jig - a semi-sweet white, and bought a bottle. This was some of my favorite wine I've had so I decided to grab a bottle - only $19! All of the bottles I looked at were definitely reasonably priced, if not a great deal for how delicious the wine is. The food here was also delicious - nothing super crazy to go out of your way for, but I felt like it was great for a summer day where the main event is the wine. BREAD & SPREADS: We got the olive tapenade and herbed olive oil. Nothing crazy, but a nice little way to start the meal. BRUSCETTA: Really delicious and fresh! Again, nothing unique but I would recommend this over the bread and spreads. RITA HAYWORTH: Your basic margarita pizza - very delicious! AUDREY HEPBURN: More like a cheesy bread you dip in sauce, this is a great appetizer! I wish we had switched this out for a flatbread and dip so we could've tried for some variety. FOGHORN LEGHORN: Really delicious and unique! Loved the Italian flavors with a twist. I wish we had gotten more of their specialty pizzas! Overall, if I'm in the area again I will definitely be back to try more eats and wine!

    Great wine with dear friends on the patio!

    We've been wine club members since the DDW opened, we love it! We brought our friends who are visiting from Denver & Orlando to experience our local winery. The place was hopping when we went there on a Friday evening. Three of us ordered glasses of wine and one in our party did a wine tasting w/ 5 unique wines. The staff was knowledgeable and friendly. We had a wonderful time as we always do!

    The view

    We came here as a bachelorette party and the staff was amazingly accommodating. The wine flights are good. Highly recommend the "Lindy" wine with the amaretto fudge. It's soo good.

    Amazing wine and food. Becky was the absolute best and made our day. We even did some shopping and left happy.

    Kermit pizza
    Kim S.

    What a wonderful.experience. We went to another winery in St Croix it wasn't a very good experience. The pizza was delicious we had the Kermit pizza. The service was wonderful with a smile.and very helpful. Made you feel welcome and wanted. Jelpnus out with a flight ofneine and what steps to take has it was our first time. The ambiance was very beautiful and relaxing. It was winter so were inside. Nothing special about them inside just pleasant. The flights were on a rack and a good amount. The flights were matched with food and gave you a sample of that food. I found that awesome.

    First, I'll Starr by saying I wish I could give 3.5 stars. I feel the winery is a little better than average. Signed up to do the tour. That was ok, but left something to be desired. I was expecting to see way more of the vineyard and hear about all of the grapes grown and get a few samples along the way. Instead, we mostly heard about how many acres the owners have and saw a couple pieces of the production equipment. And got a sample of tawny port (definitely not a 'for everyone' wine, not to mention its probably the booziest one they have, so you've got a bunch of lit people coming in from the tour). I guess I would just say, I wouldn't spend time or money on the tour. We got in and wanted to have a couple glasses and get some food. Our server, Judy, was very nice and helpful for understanding the menu. I was a little surprised that none of their Rosé were on any tasting menu. That was a bit of a disappointment, especially in the summer. I ended up just going for a glass each of the Rosés on the menu. Others in my group got tasting flights. I thought it was kind of cool that they gave you some small bites to pair with your flight, but those took so long to come out, most of my group was already halfway through drinking before their tasting plate came out. We all liked the wine we tried and grabbed a couple bottle to take home. The outdoor space is very nice and the covered patio was nice to stay out of the sun but still enjoy the nice weather. I could also see it being nice if it was just sprinkling out, you could probably still sit outside and not get wet. The couple food bites that were tried were also liked. Overall, come sit outside with a glass of your favorite and get a small bite. Skip the tour and the tastings.

    Wine flight not worth the cost- 1 sip per glass. $20.85 for 5 sips of wine total. Don't do it. Ambience is lacking.

Once we got our root beer floats we were happy campers. I read that they make the root beer daily, the buns are from a local bakery, and the meat from a local butcher which is super awesome. The burger was absolutely amazing. I haven't had a good burger like that in a minute since most places seem to do smash burgers lately. My son had a chicken strip kids meal that came with a generous portion including a cookie and drink plus a side. Our family all enjoyed the classic music, and I thought the poodle skirts were fun! This place definitely has that old school drive in feel and the mini golf looked like a hit. They also are dog friendly which is a plus in my book. We'd plan to go back again someday!

Customer service was a little lackluster. We tried the veggie burger, fries, and cheese curds. The burger was alright, the fries were dry and could definitely use some seasoning, and the cheese curds were chewy with an odd texture. Maybe burgers and shakes are where they shine. Not terrible, just not really our style. Cute idea, mediocre date. ‍

We had gone to go chase waterfalls as the snow was melting and were craving bbq so we found this place in the area with decent reviews and decided to check it out. Underwhelming is the main word that comes to mind. Honestly, the ribs and rib tips were really greasy and it came out extremely fast. The rib tips weren't even that hot. And they were fried to a crisp.. not super edible. They were ok but not great. The ribs were decent, good flavor, not a ton of smoke and like I said, greasy. The smoked mac and cheese was disgusting. It tasted like it was days old (or at least the cheese was) and there wasn't any smoke flavor. The baked beans were ok but tasted like from a can. For it being a $82 order i just feel like it should have been way better. Front desk cashier was friendly enough but not super helpful. Wouldn't come back here but it served the purpose in the moment.

The dining room and the bathrooms were very clean and nicely decorated. The 3 ribs I had in my two meat combo were very good, meaty and tender. My smoked Mac and cheese side and my wife's cheesy mashed potatoes were ok. Now the not so good. The server couldn't crack a smile and clearly didn't want to be there. The brisket was tender but had little flavor; no bark or even smoke ring. My wife had the 2 meat combo with 1/4 chicken which was dry, and pulled pork that tasted overcooked and flavorless. The cornbread was also dry and crumbly. If we had only had the ribs, we probably would have given 4 stars. As it was I can't really recommend.

I believe he said the wine tasting menu is split between wine with grapes they purchased to make wine, wine from other wineries and wine they make from their own grapes. We thought we should try the wines from their property because what is the point of trying wine from someone else. They also have a frozen wine we saw a few people stop in to purchase and people appeared to love it. We should have tried it! The wine flight was served in a little box with small plastic cups and a small souvenir wine glass. I feel terrible saying this but the wine was just terrible. We could barely finish the thimble size tasting of each wine. Perhaps we should have tried the wines they brought in or the frozen wine. They said the winery is up for sale. I hope it is purchased by someone who is passionate about winemaking and can make some delicious wine with the grapes from the property.
