Such an honor to have this located in the very small town of Trempealeau, Wisconsin. What a treat. Beautiful atmosphere, a nice selection of wines and hors d'oeuvres. Great service. A perfect experience for a pleasant afternoon outside surrounded by the vineyard with bluffs in the distance. Looking forward to visiting again!

Love this vineyard!! A bit more refined than other wineries in the area. Great selection of whites and reds. Love the ambiance and service is always friendly!! The import some of the red grapes from California for their reserves which I think is a pretty good indication that their winemakers know what grapes are really well produced in Wisconsin. They host yoga and wine in the summer time which is great and I've gone several times. read more

Service for the tastes very good. Very friendly place. Outside seating was plentiful and live music was very average. We enjoyed the wine tasting and purchased several reasonably priced wine. read more

Everyone was so helpful. We tried the sweet flight but ended up buying the Sangria. The slush and cookie were okay, but the cranberry spread and bread was a better balance with our tasting. The hilly views were amazing. read more

Time to whip out your bucket list! Whether you're a wine aficionado, a road tripper through Wisconsin, or just someone looking for a new hidden gem to discover, Elmaro Vineyard is a place you will want to put on it. Family-owned and operated, you cannot deny that the hospitality here is second to none. It's a perfect place to sit, savor a bite, and enjoy a sunset, especially in the company of good friends. My recent visit was on a beautiful fall day, and it seems that everyone in a 100-mile radius had the same idea! Although the parking lot was full and the winery was bustling, we still got a warm welcome. Sidle on up to the tasting counter and try a few varieties of their vines. If you happen to be the driver, there is an array of non-alcoholic beverages, including alcohol-removed wine if you still want to feel a bit festive (not the winery's label, but still a more fun alternative to bottled water). Your visit is not complete until you head out to the back terrace. Relax on the outdoor couch and watch the sun slip down behind the bluffs on the Minnesota side of the Mississippi, and enjoy a nibble from a cheese plate as you while away the evening. Wisconsin never looked so good! If you've been thinking about visiting Elmaro Vineyard, do yourself a favor and just make the trip already. Like me, you may just discover a new favorite place! read more

Good wine & food great atmosphere and service the view is amazing great place for a special occasion or just enjoy the day

What a nice winery and a beautiful afternoon. I love the flights and learning more about wine. The food is very good and reasonable. The patio is a nice place to sit and try a variety of wines. Certainly a just stop for anyone visiting the area read more

If you like to eat cheese and drink wine this is your place. I've visited a lot of wineries and this one is by far the best for atmosphere, having charcuterie, and overall experience. There are several different kinds of wine to choose from too. The huge $50 platter has the best blueberry cheese I've ever had and you get a ton of it. You'll want to have like 6 people to chow it down though cause we couldn't even make a dent in it. They have events throughout the week too like live music, yoga, craft fairs, etc read more

Good wine and nice snack selection Service is pleasant and friendly Also lots of fun items to buy like earrings and snacks read more

A beautiful place with lots of seating outside. It was a crisp fall day but nice and sunny! I sat in the tent and enjoyed the live jazz band. There were a lot of people but they had plenty of seating. It's clear people come here frequently. Some families even brought blankets to picnic on the grass. I tried a couple flights and had the salami cheese platter. For covid, food comes in boxes and tasting wines in small bottles. Everything I tried was unique and delicious! The grounds are beautiful for walking around. A great experience and I'd be happy to return. One thing I did notice, wines online are more expensive than in person. I'll be back to purchase in person next time. read more

My niece planned a visit to this place with 16 other family members. At the front door she was told because she wasn't going to have wine, she may not be allowed to enter. Even when she explained to the hostess that she was pregnant, she said she had to make sure it was ok with the owner, because as she said, they make their money by people buying wine. Kind of made a beautiful day and beautiful place quite disappointing and unwelcoming. read more

Great time at Elmaro for my first time. Staff was very helpful and nice. Would definitely recommend and will be going back at least once a month. read more

Elmaro Vineyard - Great pictures of my first time at Elmaro!! - Wineries Near Me - Trempealeau, Wisconsin

Came in for a first-time visit with my mom. It was pretty busy for a Sunday, but we never felt rushed or ignored. The view is stunning, and I can't wait to see it on a sunny summer day. Ethan was the person who assisted us from beginning to end, and we had a wonderful conversation with him about the wine selection and life in general. He is well informed, friendly and so fun to chat with. The tastings are still COVID-style, meaning you get little 2-oz bottles instead of pours, which wasn't a problem for us at all. My personal recommendation is the Marquette Rosé. Can't wait to come back! read more

Elmaro Vineyard - View of the vineyard from our table - Wineries Near Me - Trempealeau, Wisconsin

I can't believe I have been missing out on this hidden gem! Elmaro Vineyard is a beautiful winery tucked into the bluffs. Excellent views, a diverse collection of wines, and a beautiful venue. An excellent place to enjoy a warm fall day or summer evening. It is definitely a drive, but worth it. For only $5, you can sample seven different wines. The prices here are incredibly reasonable. read more

Hands down THE BEST tasting wine at a Midwest winery found to date! We loved every wine we tried and actually bought a case. That NEVER happens! I can't tell you how many Midwest wineries we've visited where we just bought a bottle to be nice. Service was top notch and staff were very knowledgeable about their wines. We will be back when weather is nice. I bet it's gorgeous! read more

Great wine, great service, great views and very COVID-mindful operations. Check out the Elmaro Rosa or any of their fun seasonal wines. The vistas are reminiscent of California's Central Coast. read more

We found Elmaro Vineyard on a bright and sunny summer Saturday. Our family was so surprised to pull up to the most beautiful land, well kept buildings and amazing [huge] patio. There was plenty of wine for tasting indoors and outdoors there was plenty of seating. A food trucks supplied some eats along with a kitchen running inside. While we sipped the bottles we purchased, live music rung out in the tent so we stayed for a couple hours to take it all in. It was a wonderful afternoon, a fantastic vineyard and I would highly recommend stopping in! read more

What a great place to be. We came in for a birthday adventure. From the first person we met, Sandra, we knew the quality of business. Sandra had such knowledge and underlying friendliness that we would have stayed all day long. The product offered by Elmaro is top notch. The vast selection of products offered is generous and every one was tasty. The pairings offered and suggested were amazing! To get a true value of a place like Elmaro and their affect on the community is truly shown in the mother-daughter team of winemakers, Lynita and Laura. We got a chance to talk to each of them separately before we knew who they were. Their dream and vision for their community and their business is amazing. They all take great pride in their product and are excited to share their vision and the quality of the products they get local and beyond. We will be back many times and we wish to thank them for the day! read more

Visiting with my friends this weekend. The wine tastings range from 3 for free or 5 for 5. All the voices I made, were exquisite.

Free tastings are awesome. Wine tasting in Napa costs up to $45. This winery is unbelievable. Friendly with awesome wines. Such a find. Highly recommended. A gem. read more

It was a beautiful day when we arrived and the place was busy. We threaded our way through to the outdoor tasting area under a tent, where there was a three-piece group playing some good tunes. The wine was good, but I am sure the atmosphere contributed a lot to our enjoyment. While there, about 80 motorcycles arrived on a charity run, and they were interesting folks to observe and chat with. It's a beautiful setting and the staff was extremely friendly. We visited seven wineries over our weekend, and this one we enjoyed the most. read more

They do such an amazing job and make you feel safe and yet forget about the crazy times we are living in. Thank you Elmaro for the great atmosphere, best wine around and wonderful staff! read more

My brother in law recommended this place to us. He is a really good judge of character and we weren't disappointed. Tastings for $5 is such a steal. The place is beautiful. Owners are great. I recommend this place. read more

This place really is beautiful. The servers were excellent - friendly and worked great as a team. I liked every wine I sampled, then selected their "chardonnay" to sip on the patio and take in the view. read more

Stopped here on Veteran's Day weekend this year. Unfortunately we did not realize that there was a concurrent Wine Tasting event - the Great River Road Wine Trail that same weekend. After frustration with the wineries on the Minnesota side we stopped here on a Sunday afternoon expecting to find more bitter and sickly sweet reds, or mouth puckering whites...imagine our surprise to find the closet thing to the Hahn Winery in Monterey County, California. Score! ENVIRONMENT: Well lit, spacious tasting bar. Outside patio with a very excellent view and hidden seating. Clean and spacious restrooms, and an event room where the trail tasters were set up. Crackers were provided between each taste. WINE/FOOD: They are one of the few to be able to turn out a dry red from the Marquette grape . This was truly appreciated after trying so many sickly sweet reds along the road. Also offered were tapas - plates of cheeses, meats, bread, olives, etc., at a reasonable price. Available for purchase were artisan chocolates and other edible goodies, as well as candles and other gifts. We brought a picnic lunch with us which we supplemented. SERVICE: We were attended by Cameron who noted right away that we weren't a part of the Wine Trail participants and stepped up to show us their best. He was knowledgeable and welcoming, even inviting us to the music and food later that day for the Wine Trail Participants even though were not a part of the group. We were also there to witness the receipt of a letter from the First Lady of Wisconsin praising the vineyard after her recent visit. I couldn't agree more. We ordered food and a glass of wine and were attended to while we sat on the terrace. Heat lamps were available making this a comfortable experience on a windy fall day. OVERALL: The wines are less expensive than other vineyards in the area and personally I felt that they were some of best. This plus the ambiance of the vineyard, the view, and the friendliness will bring us back. It is a hidden jewel and well worth the return trip! read more

Loved this little winery! We stopped by last Saturday and had perfect early fall weather (sunny and low 60s). I felt like I was back in Sonoma, CA! The tasting room is new and clean, and the outside has a very large patio with lots of comfortable chairs. They offer 3 free tastings and you can get 7 tastings for $5. I really liked a lot of the wines. I would definitely recommend stopping here if you are near Winona, MN. read more

Cute little vineyard located on the country roads of Trempealeau Wisconsin. Prices are reasonable but lack a bit of variety in the food department. I thought the cheese plates would have been a bit bigger for the group I was with. If you do a flight of wine it has to be from the same group (semi sweet, sweet or seasonal) I would have liked to have a bit more variety so I could try more. read more

My husband and I had a huge request for Elmaro, we asked them if we could do our gender reveal party there and the owners gladly agreed to this request. They went above and beyond to make our day special. They planned the whole event, set up everything and even coordinated the cupcakes for us. The set up was absolutely beautiful, they met and exceeded all of our expectations! Lynita and Laura are such wonderful people and would do anything for anybody and the staff is also very accommodating! On top of the wonderful owners and staff they have fantastic wine and food. My husband and I couldn't have asked for a better turn out! We would highly recommend Elmaro for any occasion!! read more

Stopped at this vineyard while on a Mississippi River road trip. The setting is very pretty and I honestly wasn't expecting a place this large. The patio is quite large and very dog friendly (they even brought over a water bowl for our pup). We were there on a Saturday afternoon and they had a food truck so we opted to try that rather than the vineyard's cheese plates. This obviously isn't Napa or France, but the wines were quite good for relaxing on a sunny afternoon. Service was also extremely friendly. The place was hopping so if you're coming with a larger group, be prepared to possibly wait for an outdoor table! read more

Spend some time sampling their wines inside or out and the food plates are well worth the cost.

Wow. Making your way through literal nowhere to get here is worth every sharp country bend. My wife and I did the tasting and fell in love with nearly every wine. The attention to detail in the decor and cleanliness helps elevate this winery above the rest. The patio is a thing of beauty. Look out over the vineyard while you enjoy your favorite wine. The food is a perfect pair and has something for everything. I'm not into wine, but had a wonderful time here. We bought a bottle for only $13 of Edelweiss. I'm keen to the Edelweiss flower and the wine matched its elegance. Whether it's date night or an after work gathering, Elmaro is truly a diamond in the rough. read more

Nice find! Just a little sign off my favorite river ride reading, "Winery 1 mile". Past the sign many times, this time we decided to check it out. Beautiful patio overlooking the vineyard. Nice atmosphere. Perfect day. read more

Middle of the day on a Tuesday, 85 degrees out, there were 5 of us and they wouldn't pull an extra table or chair for us unless it was outside in the grass. I had 2 children with (and 2 other adults) with and drove a very long way to try the wine after a good recommendation. They did not seem very welcoming to business especially since it wasn't very busy. Didn't even get to try the wine. Left very disappointed. read more

Elmaro use to be one of the top wineries to visit in the area, now when you visit it's like going to a general bar. They give you your glass of wine in a plastic cup, minimal customer service. Wine tasting is not personable anymore, they give you a couple plastic glasses and send you on your way. read more
