Enjoyed the wine flight options and the tasting experience and info about wine. Feels clean, bright, and new, and the bathroom is nice. There's a room in back they activate for events. There was a small vendor sale in there. They also have cute merch, jewelry, and goods for sale. They're on the higher price end. They offer free coffee from the Nespresso machine which is a nice touch. They have their own wine shop next door that is kind of expensive. Buying a bottle in the winery and corking it to go is a more affordable option if you plan to drink it right away.

We made a stop here for some wine and to enjoy the beauty on Sunday, and it was an amazing time. We…read morewere seated right away and our server was Jenna. 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.

There are a few different areas to sit and hang out, plus tables spread throughout the property. It's also dog friendly, which is a big plus.

The staff was really helpful in making suggestions also and knew the history of the vineyard which was cool to learn more about. The only thing I felt was missing was more food. They do have a small section where you can grab items to build your own charcuterie board, but I'd love to see a few more food options added.

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!

I went on a Sunday around 1pm and it was very chill with plenty of seating options under a pergola, picnic tables by the vines, etc. lots of different choices as well as inside by the bar. There are 2 bars on property, 1 inside and 1 by the events center. I'm assuming you can rent the place out for weddings and currently they are under construction in the parking lot. I ordered a caprese salad with chicken. It was just okay. It came in a chipotle "like" bowl and the chicken was minced. The menu said thick slices of heirloom tomatoes but they ended up being cherry tomatoes and the mozzarella was light on the portion. More salad than anything else and was drizzled with balsamic. I don't think it was worth $19 but if I'm paying for convenience, I get it. Just let your customers know that it's cherry tomatoes and not heirloom tomatoes when they are ordering. This is how the menu item reads: Thick slices of heirloom tomatoes, fresh basil, and torn mozzarella on top of greens, dressed with balsamic glaze. I opted for a non alcoholic beverage - root beer which was delightful but next time I'm getting the rose. The staff is friendly and helpful. Will definitely be back to order something different on the food menu.

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.

There are tables and booths in the back portion of the location but there was a "private" party (who brought in their own food and wine?!) so we shared a high top in the front of the tasting room. We ordered flights of 5 wines ($9 each) and the deluxe cheese and crackers. I hate to say it- but all the wines we sampled were not good. The "Port Station" was the best of the 10 wines I sampled. It is a Frontenac grape and wasn't really a port, but it was dry and slightly more full bodied than anything else we sampled. Not really worth taking a bottle home. All the other wines tasted watered down and honestly, I don't think I've ever been to a winery (or anywhere that served wine) where it was served in plastic cups. All the flavors were pretty flat without much aroma and no finish. A few had a bitter taste. The deluxe cheese and crackers were pretty basic and not really worth ordering. The wines were such a bummer- which should be the reason you visit a winery.
