    Pleasantly surprised and impressed! We were in the area visiting family and learned about this…read moreplace wasn't sure what we were getting into being wine snobs but we were impressed with the wine, food and the atmosphere. Owners Chris and Sherry were great to chat with and have a great story to tell about how they make their wines. We enjoyed the port a lot, very good Pinot Noir and can't go wrong with the Dimwitted Knave Sangria

    From the owner: Brambleberry Winery is an artisanal La Crosse area craft winery located 5 miles east of La Crosse…read moreand Onalaska in the friendly community of West Salem, WI. Our focus is on producing delicious wines from the best grape juices we can source from around the world. Established in 2013 in Jackson County, Brambleberry moved to 234 N. Leonard Street in West Salem. We’re open Thursday, Friday and Saturday from noon to 8 p.m. and Sunday from noon to 6 p.m. Brambleberry is the Scottish word for blackberry, which was the first wine we made about 40 years ago. We are perhaps best known for producing some of western Wisconsin’s most delicious drier red grape wines, which are our passion. We feature cabernet sauvignon, merlot, pinot noir, corvina, sangiovese, carmenere, malbec, tempranillo and other red blends. We also have lovely white dinner wines — chardonnay, sauvignon blanc, pinot grigio, gewurztraminer, riesling, sweeter riesling blends and a fruit-forward moscato. Our popular sweet — but not TOO sweet — fruit wine blends feature the fruits of raspberry, apple, blueberry, blackberry, cherry, orange, pear, pommegranate, peach, watermelon, mango and a unique tropical citrus blend with coconut. Brambleberry Winery also is a licensed restaurant with a light menu of pizzas, cheese bread, bruschetta and charcuterie-type snack plates for you to enjoy with your wine with some gluten-free options.

    We stopped here as part of our Harvest Host tour this weekend and had a nice stay. Nestled in the…read morehills of Iowa the winery is a very quiet and beautiful place to sit on the patio and enjoy some wine. We were warmly greeted by staff when we got here, got the camper set up and came in for some food and a tasting. They have a nice menu of appetizers, salads, flatbreads and sandwiches. We got the 3 dip combo which was salsa, buffalo chicken and a southwestern bean dip. They were all really good. We both had a wine tasting of 4 wines and ended up getting a bottle of the Lazy Days Itasca. It was a crisp white wine that was refreshing while sitting outside on the patio. The menu does have a considerable amount of sweet wines but does have a few dryer wine. They also have wine slushes on the menu that we tried that were really good.

So, for the wine "purists" out there, remember, these are not necessarily like nice, earthy pinots, merlots or cabernets that you pour in a big glass and enjoy with dinner. More like light, sweeter pino grigios or rieslings. We drink them mostly like sweet dessert wines (think port) in small glasses after a meal or late in the evening. If you come at them from this perspective, you won't be disappointed as you might be if you went here looking for a conventional table wine. Great location, nice facilities, enjoyable wines and pretty good food. I had the Norwegian sandwich - VERY good. It's out past the Seed Savers, so if you are looking for something to do after visiting them - this may be just the ticket. Highly recommended.
