We enjoyed visiting Stone's Throw Winery, and I want to start by saying that our wine host,…read moreChristina, was friendly, bubbly, and made us feel very welcome. She did a wonderful job guiding us through the tasting and was one of the highlights of our visit. However, I was surprised that there weren't any plain crackers, bread, or even pretzels available to cleanse our palates between tastings. After sampling several wines, the flavors begin to blend together, making it difficult to fully appreciate each wine on its own. I understand not every winery provides palate cleansers, but many do, and it's a simple touch that really enhances the tasting experience. Even plain crackers or slices of bread would make a noticeable difference. Despite that, we enjoyed the wines enough that we joined the wine club and spent over $400 on wine before leaving. That alone should show how much we liked what Stone's Throw has to offer. Because of that, I hope this feedback is taken in the spirit it's intended--not as criticism for the sake of criticizing, but as a suggestion from customers who supported the winery and would love to see an already enjoyable experience become even better.

(Service was super nice: the nice bartender carried the paddle outside for me bc I'm a super, super shaky walker and would have spilled the wine everywhere w/o having had even 1 drop yet.) Yep, I'd go again. (And yes, the cheese from the cheese shop next door was awesome!)

I recommend this business.

This really surprised me, because it's a semi-sweet wine and I don't like sweet wines! But apparently I like this sweet wine. It had notes of honeysuckle and lemon, and it was served chilled. It would make a good little bottle to sip in the summer. Wine tastings are only $10 for 5 tastes! Whatta deal. They also sell wine by the glass, or by the bottle to go. You can sit at the bar, or take your drinks to one of the tables, or even the patio if the weather is nice. There are some kids' toys and games around, because this winery is kid-friendly, which is cool. In fact, while I was there, a couple came in with their toddler and enjoyed a wine tasting while their kid quietly played. It was nice to see that parents can enjoy a quick wine break even with a kid in tow. During the tasting, I got to learn a little about the winery. They have a vineyard behind the winery where they grow their own grapes. They also get grapes from around Wisconsin and Washington state. This is a little family-run business, and the owners are super friendly and very dedicated to their craft.

Flights are so fun and only $15, you also get a free sample of the Oompah Blue - my husband's favorite. They have a salad with a dressing that is somehow made of the oompah wine and it's delicious.

I do not like this place…read more Ordered a $15 flight of wine, which included a free sample of the Oompa Blue. The Blue was tasty, and one other wine was acceptable, but the other wine offerings were downright bad. One even tasted and smelled like cleaning solution. Each glass had the same dusty smell to it, so I question the cleanliness of the establishment. Also, the seating area by the bar had decent music playing but the staff also had a television running at the same time, and this created a terrible cacophony. Thankfully, the staff muted the television when requested. Ordered some garlic cheese bread, too. The bread itself was flavorful, and well seasoned, but it was served with a small bowl of ice-cold marinara sauce. The hot food and cold sauce did not pair well together at all. Note on the staff: the kitchen staff were seated at the bar when I arrived, and I could hear their loud, curse-word laden conversations. That's not cool at all. Additionally, not a single staff member was personable; they seemed to barely tolerate my presence. Don't go here. There are many, many other better wineries nearby.

Our favorites are the cherry salsa and the pies--we always make sure to pick some up when we visit. The market is much bigger than it first appears, with a separate wine section and plenty of goodies for both adults and kids. Outside, there's a large parking area, a peaceful view of the orchard, corn hole games, and even a food truck in the back serving grilled cheese. It can get very busy, but the staff has always been friendly and helpful. There's something here for just about every age, whether you're shopping for Door County treats, browsing the wine selection, or just enjoying the orchard atmosphere. Definitely one of our regular stops whenever we're in Door County. Thank You

It was so fun, not crowded at all, and prices were reasonable. Highly recommend stopping here for all of your door county cherry and wine tasting needs!

I'm putting in a quick update since it's been over 4 years since my last review! Please see my…read moreearlier reviews as well. We stopped in to buy some bottles of wine directly from their store as we knew they'd have a better variety than what we saw at the grocery store. We picked up some to enjoy during our stay in Door County and some to bring home as gifts. We really enjoyed the Ledge Blanc which was hefty enough to go with some brats we grilled at the house we were renting. We noticed the expanded food offerings that are available for accompanying tastings and will need to try that on a future visit. This is our go-to place in Door County for some great local dry wines! Yes, they do have sweeter options as well, but we prefer dry, and this is one of the few places up here that makes truly enjoyable dry red and white wines.

We've been visiting Door Peninsula Winery since the early 1980s, when it was housed in a little…read moretwo-room schoolhouse, and wow--has it changed over the years! Today it's a beautiful, much larger destination, but it's still a fun stop whenever we're in Door County. When you walk in, you can actually see some of the wine production taking place, which adds to the experience. There's a large tasting bar where you can sample a variety of wines, including the fruit wines Door County is known for, along with spirits and specialty whiskeys. This time I decided to venture beyond the wine and tried the cherry vodka--and it was excellent! Definitely a fun Door County twist and something I'd recommend sampling. There's also a really nice seasonal gift shop with plenty to browse, and of course you can stock up on your favorites to take home, have wine shipped, or even join their wine club. Whether you're a wine lover, interested in trying some locally inspired spirits, or simply looking for a fun Door County stop, I'd recommend spending an hour here. Do a little tasting, browse the shop, and chances are you'll find something delicious to bring home. After more than 40 years of visits, it's pretty amazing to see how far Door Peninsula Winery has come! I especially like that last sentence for your review because very few reviewers can genuinely say they've watched the place evolve over four decades. That's what makes this one personal rather than another generic winery review.

The guy doing the tastings wouldn't look us in the eye and was not at all friendly. Totally fine, but maybe giving wine tastings isn't the best role for you... In addition, they have QR Codes for you to scan and tip the crew. Problem is, there's no service in this building!! We politely asked two servers if there was a WiFi password just so we could quickly tip them and they abruptly said "no" and walked away. Not sure if we caught everyone on a bad day or what, but not the experience we are used to at all. We ended up leaving without buying our usual bottles + snacks and heading to Harbor Ridge down the road.
