We stopped in on a Saturday afternoon for wine tasting…read more 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. .

My friends invited me on a camping trip at WMW as they felt it would be a nice intro to tent…read morecamping/somewhat a glamping experience since they have showers and bathrooms as well as there's a winery. When we arrived the signs were a bit confusing as to where to go, we ended up pulling up to the house at the top of a hill but were given instructions to drive around the building past the bathrooms. When we got there there were carts to help us load and tote our stuff up to the camp site. There were multiple paths up to our site which was nice. The first night we decided to eat at the winery. We ordered a pizza, got a bottle of the sweet red wine and they had board games we could play as we waited for the pizza to cook. They wood fire Heggies pizza. We got a chicken Alfredo one which was really good, we ended up getting a second one. They had $10 wine slushies. Cath the bartender put us on to mixing the flavors. Both were really good and began our fav/go to drink for the weekend. Also Cath had great customer service and was there all weekend which was nice! She was great. We stayed at site 3 and it was a decent size, had a smaller 2 person bench/table, fire pit and was very well shaded. When it rained we didn't get too flooded out which was nice. The rest of the experience was mostly on us to make, during the day we took a walk and explored the vineyard. They had a few grapes growing, they also have yurts you can rent which is nice if you want to go full glamp. They were spacious and kind of had their own areas which in the vineyard. I will say there was a larger staying down by the yurts and we could hear them most of the night up in the woods where we were. Also live music at the tasting room/courtyard on Saturdays. They started around 12:30pm and went late into the evening. We could hear the music from our campsite which was nice. It rained that night so it started outside then they moved the music inside. Something to do though. They do have a coffee room that is open 24hrs which is nice. They sell snacks and stuff in there as well. Generally it was a good first experience/intro to camping despite it being a cold, rainy, summer weekend but I'd do it again.

We had a great experience at Winehaven. Winehaven is a…read morebeautiful property and has a large inside and outside patio. We were greeted by Katey who sat us up for the tastings and explained the process. At that point, Amelia stepped in to run us through the variety of wines. We took our table number then found a great spot on the patio with views of the beautiful vineyard. We were brought our first tasing which we chose all reds. Are they Napa or French quality wines? Absolutely not. However, they are good for WI wines and we have been to a variety of wineries in WI. We also ordered a pizza which was very tasty. Served on a thin crust. Perfect for an afternoon lunch and tasting. Amelia tended to our table and made sure we had everything we needed for a perfect wine tasting experience on the patio. We then ordered a tasting of their fruity wines which included a light rhubarb wine. These were light and refreshing so we purchased a couple of bottles to enjoy in a beautiful summer day. We also ordered a chocolate desert wine and purchased that as well. I would recommend stopping in on a beautiful day so you can enjoy the patio and walk through the vineyard. Beautiful spot for pictures as well.

We ventured here on Mother's Day with no expectations and were pleased to enjoy so many components here. The parking lot is spacious, there is a small interior section of gifts, wine can be purchased (of course), visible vineyards plethora of both indoor and outdoor seating, clean interior, well kept bathrooms, friendly staff, etc. the list goes on and on. My sister and I got the dessert wine as we had just come from eating a large brunch and I absolutely loved it! Winehaven offers standard white and red wines but also does an excellent job with the specialty wine as well. The chocolate zom-bee was oh so good! As the description reads, "Chocolate Zom-Bee is a monstrous explosion of dark chocolate and deep grape wine flavors. This wine is sinfully delicious with decadent chocolate desserts as well as vanilla bean ice cream or fruit-based tarts and pies." Enjoy!!

We stopped into the tasting room and found a happy crowd of folks there and a very friendly and helpful lady, who turned out to be the owner. It was "Cheesecake Sunday" so of course we had to try the cheesecake with our flights of wine. Very good cheesecake with the topping of our choice! They had a large selection of wines and we ended up buying a couple bottles as well as some merchandise. We had a very fun experience and loved hearing the story about origins of the winery. I highly recommend this winery!

Our first time to The Dalles House Restaurant. We stopped in for lunch on a Saturday afternoon…read more When you enter through the front door, you enter into a large bar that looks into a beautiful courtyard. I noticed the bar has a stage for bands and room for a dance floor. As we walked in, the bartender asked if we were there for lunch at the supper club and walked us through the restaurant entrance to a hostess stand. The supper club is spacious with white tablecloths and old fashioned velvet chairs. It also looks out to the beautiful courtyard. Our server was Robyn who was very pleasant and attentive. We ordered cocktails to start. A Black Cherry Old Fashioned and a Raspberry Mojito. Both were under $10 and delicious. For lunch, I ordered the Dalles House Burger; Hand pattied burger with two cheeses, bacon, onion, lettuce, tomato, and thousand island dressing on the side $17.99. The flavors were good but I asked for it to be cooked to medium temperature and it was very well done. Disappointing. The fries were hot and crispy. My husband ordered the Fish Tacos. Three soft flour tortillas filled with crispy fried white fish, shredded cabbage, fresh pico de gallo, and a zesty cilantro lime aioli. Served with tortilla chips, sour cream, and salsa $17.99. He said the tacos were tasty but the tortilla chips tasted store bought. Despite my burger being overcooked, we did have a nice experience. We would like to try it again but for dinner.

We decided to meet for lunch and it was a very enjoyable experience. Robyn was our server - she was attentive and even took a moment to take our picture. I had the turkey BLT and my husband had the fish tacos. I liked the turkey BLT was in a spinach wrap- very tasty and a good sized portion. The fries were tasty too. Husband really enjoyed the fish tacos- he was a plate cleaner lol The view is pretty, you are not rushed, so it was an enjoyable afternoon. They do have a more casual bar area and it was quite busy. We also noted a pretty large banquet space too (200 people) Total bill for 4 meals and 4 drinks was $114. The brandy old fashioned's were $9 each and the margaritas were $12 each. We are now on a mission to try all the supper clubs!
