Our stop at parallel 44 winery was wonderful. A lovely stop on our way to Fish Creek in Door County. Although it was a cold blustery day, we enjoyed the ambience of the winery. Hopefully the next time we come back, we will be able to sit outside and enjoy the beautiful fountain and lovely patio. Their reds are exceptional. They have a sister winery called Door 44 as well. We can't wait to go back and enjoy their wines again. Their flights are incredibly reasonable at four for $10. They also have a wine club you can join. Highly recommend! read more

Update: So I visited this vineyard on a mystery tour to Brown County but I've been informed it's in Kewaunee County so don't get lost! Get to the right County and enjoy yourself! Thanks for the correction. I would hate for people to miss out because I misdirected them! read more

I love this winery! The people are top notch. The wine is top notch. I want to get up there before Dec. 25. I love this place.

Beautiful winery! I live in IL but grew up in Green Bay and didn't think anything like this existed in WI! Took my best friend from Atlanta to Door County and stopped on our way back from our girls trip. This was the icing on the cake for our trip! We came on a day where they served mulled wine and it was so delicious! Highly recommend ! read more

Theres a little piece of Tuscany right here in Wisconsin, called Parallel 44. You've got to check out this amazing winery where they use grapes grown in the onsite vineyard! We visited Parallel 44 as part of the Open Air Tours convertible event. Imagine pulling up to a hill overlooking a vineyard literally dripping with grapes! It was an incredible sight to see outside Kewaunee. We looked at the grounds which included a beautiful patio overlooking the gorgeous vista then wandered into the vineyard. There was a scenic overlook, a table set up where one could imagine a family enjoying the fruits of the harvest. Inside we saw enormous tanks filled with gently fermenting wine, and enjoyed the set up of long bars where wine sampling could be enjoyed. There were bachelorette parties here, it was fun to sit on the patio and sip a wonderful chardonnay while enjoying the beautiful late August weather. You have to see this place to truly appreciate it. Go already! read more

We have been meaning to go to this place for a couple of years. Today was the day. We walked into the building and found it open and light. A friendly lass approached us and filled us in on the protocols. We were directed to a tasting area in the back. Here Steve offered us samples of 4 wines, a white and three reds. There were also some tasty cheese samples. Although we don't usually drink white wine, we found the white pretty good. All the reds were outstanding. The Marquette Reserve is pure nectar! We moved to the front room, to the bar. There was live music. We were offered another four samples. All the wines were reds and there wasn't a bad one among the batch. In fact they were all really good. Make sure you try the wild grape wine. We thought about joining their wine club; but balked when we found we had no say in the wines that would be shipped to us every 3 months. We have no desire to be offered a sweet white wine and have no alternatives. This cost them a star. So no, we didn't join up. All in all, this is a nice winery to visit. The people there are extremely nice; and their wines, albeit a bit expensive, are excellent. If you like fine local wine; and are up for a ride in the country, it would behoove you to come out here, enjoy the scenery, and some nice wines. read more

Parallel and Door 44 are our favorite wineries in door county. The wine is awesome and so are the owners and staff. We are members of the wine club and always look forward to our order. They offer many specials and fun events thru out the year. We especially enjoy helping out with the harvest each year! read more

Hard to see road signs, nothing fancy and offers some outside sipping area seating. Flight tastings are small and $6 a flight. Staff helpful and interestingly they said Wisconsin grapes require less use of sulfites. Have not tried the bottles purchased, we passed on tasting and sitting in the sun this weekend. No one was there and just not feeling that Vinyard Vibe at this location. read more

Stopped here on an adventure/road trip and was pleasantly surprised! We walked in and were instantly greeted by Sarah who welcomed up, informed us, and helped us with our sampling. She was very welcoming and upbeat on a really busy day. She helped us picked samples and was very informative. Highly recommend stopping here and picking up some wine. read more

Parallel 44 Vineyard and Winery - Wineries Near Me - Kewaunee, Wisconsin

I visited Parallel 44 Winery as part of my sister's bachelorette party. It was an amazing Upon arrival, the scenery was beautiful. There was nothing but acres of grapes and greenery around us. The winery was fairly small, but had a gorgeous patio to sit out on and enjoy a glass (or bottle) of wine on a warm day. The staff was extremely friendly and overly welcoming. We started off with a small ((complimentary!!)) tour of the vineyard, learning how the grapes are grown and how their cool climate grapes differ from those that grow in warmer climates. We moved on to then have a short tour inside to see how the grapes were processed, fermented, and turned in their fantastic wines. Then it was on to the wine sampling. I think I nearly tried them all - compliments of Parallel 44! I probably got a good glass or so out of it. It was fantastic. Some of their varietals are Marechal Foch, Frontenac, Louise Swenson, St. Pepin and Petit Pearl, which are the genetic cousins wines such as Cabernet Sauvignon, Pinot Noir, and Riesling. Given that Parallel 44 wines are only sold online or in Wisconsin stores, naturally I bought 6 bottles to take home with me ((they that were that fab - especially the Frozen Tundra wines)). They range from $13 - $21 a bottle, which is well worth it. ((Note: you can buy them online!!)) A few faves both red & white: // Tundra White - A semi-sweet aromatic white blend of Wisconsin grapes, with dominant peach and tropical fruit flavors and a hint of honey // Baco Noir - Medium bodied red wine with a light carmel aroma, bing cherry flavors and a light oak finish // Glacier Red - Earthy aromas followed by fruit forward expressions of currant & berries // St. Pepin Late Harvest - Made from the St. Pepin grapes, harvested in late October and then put thru a cool, slow fermentation for complex tropical flavors If you're in the area, Parallel 44 is a fantastic place to stop, enjoy the scenery, have some wine, and learn a little about wine making. Between the knowledgeable staff, friendly service, complimentary tour and wine tasting, we started the bachelorette party off right. And with a buzz. read more

Parallel 44 Vineyard and Winery - Vineyard - Wineries Near Me - Kewaunee, Wisconsin

This winery will always have a special place in my heart since my boyfriend proposed to me there this afternoon! We started off with a flight - I did the red flight while he did the rose flight (naturally we swapped tastes, so we could try everything). I left with a bottle of one of the reds (can't remember the name at the moment) and a bottle of the Drink Pink rose which has just the right amount of sweetness and a beautiful rich color. We were encouraged to walk about the vines and sample grapes which is unlike any winery I have ever been to. Our server was incredibly friendly and hospitable, and we enjoyed walking through the vineyard and overlooking the winery while we sipped. This place really is a little Napa in Wisconsin. The estate is absolutely gorgeous!! read more

Usually my wife and I are both strictly white wine drinkers. This time however, we both really enjoyed the Rose & Red options we had the pleasure of trying. Left with a few bottles and cannot wait to return. P.S. The Ice Wine was fantastic also. read more

The staff was so nice and the tasting was so much fun. Delicious wines! Would definitely recommend if you are nearby. We'll be back for sure! read more

We came here to try wine, we got to try 4 wines and we were outside in the tent and the weather was nice.!!!! I recommend this place.!!!

It was ok. Good selection of wines. Both sweet and regular grapes. There are better wineries and worse wineries. It's worth the stop to sample what they have. We liked it enough to purchase a bottle read more

We missed tastings because they had live music starting and were switching to by the glass.

I am starting to find P-44 wines in local grocery and liquor stores which is fantastic as Kewaunee is a little more than a hop skip and jump from Neenah. With that being said, we still love to take a day trip and head out to the winery. As a club member we are treated with wine tastings, after which we decide on a bottle (or two) and either get food from which ever local gourmet truck is being featured that day, or create our own charcuterie board and find a seat on the lawn to enjoy live music with the gorgeous back drop of vineyards and wide open space surrounding us. Fantastic way to relax, shed the weight of the world and reconnect with adult friends and family as well as meet new people. read more

In the summer, Parallel 44 has a scenic view of their vineyard from the front entrance of the facility. It is very picturesque, and the architecture of the facility itself is pretty intriguing. However: the atmosphere inside leaves something to be desired. The two times that I have visited this vineyard, I always felt as though I was being looked down upon. I must have forgotten my top hat and monocle that day. The wines are pretty blah compared to other more experienced vineyards in the area, and this is one of the few vineyards I've been to where you have to pay for a tasting. Which basically amounts to small portions of relatively bland wine poured by staff who doesn't seem to know much about the process. I'd rather go to Von Stiehl or Cold Country any day. I'd much rather drive a little more out of the way for a vineyard that made me feel comfortable than one that made me feel as if I didn't belong. Apparently my money isn't good enough. :) read more

From 9/30/12 My husband had wanted to take me here since we'd met, so today we took the trip to Parallel 44. And I am so glad we did! A small picturesque winery set in Kewaunee, we walked in and were warmly welcomed by the hostess and wine bar tender. You are allowed five complimentary tastings apiece, with a fair selection to choose from. We were able to peacefully taste in search of our favorites, with a knowledgeable but unobtrusive staff to assist with questions and wine introductions. We went on the complimentary winery tour as well, which included the vineyard and production area. Our tour guide was friendly and open to questions, making a short tour comprehensive and fun! We purchased a few bottles and are considering the wine club! A definite positive place to spend the afternoon! read more

Went for the wine tasting on a Saturday afternoon in the Fall. Overall it was fun and a good experience for my wife and I. The location is off the beaten trail, and the fall scenery was beautiful. The price of the tasting was reasonable, the wines were pretty good, but I can think of at least a dozen wines that taste better that are much more reasonably priced. Despite this fact we purchased some wine for ourselves and family since I'm a fan of supporting a local Wisconsin business. The loyalty card is a bit of a joke - buy 10 wines and get $5 off a bottle? Hardly compelling. What stops me from giving a 4 or 5 star is the overall value of the wine and the wine tasting atmosphere. Poor lighting and decor (although new) was not inviting or comfortable, but we did like the patio area. The staff was friendly but didn't seem knowledgeable after talking and listening to them. The server just read a pamphlet to you and didn't know much about wine in general (e.g. what is a Tannin and how does it affect taste?). read more

Visited last Saturday. Unusually warm day for November so after we wine tasted and made our purchases, we enjoyed a glass of wine outside on the patio and shared some breadstix and cheese we purchased there. Very good cold pack blue cheese. Two workers were very friendly, acknowledged us as soon as we entered. Clean place, friendly and will be back. Bought 4 bottles to enjoy at home. read more

I've visited the winery several times and have always been impressed with the level of customer service and friendliness! I recently joined their wine club and have found some new favorites! It's fun to receive a 'surprise' box of wine in the mail and it's introduced me to wines I might not have chosen. Cheers to Maria and Steve and their team for a world-class winery in our backyard! read more

Amazing atmosphere. Did the tour for 8.00 and it included 10 samples. Just an insane quantity for the cost. I highly recommend

This was our first stop on our way to Door County. Maryssa was our hostess and was very knowledgeable about the wines we tasted! Frozen Tundra White and Red were favorites, and their Baco Noir was a fabulous smoky red - one of the best I've ever had. We picked up six bottles initially - then three more at their Door 44 location further north. On the way home I was craving the Baco Noir so much that I wanted another bottle - but it was early and they were not open. I called and spoke to Sandra, who was gracious enough to let me stop by before they opened and pick up two more bottles of that (and another Frozen Tundra Red) for good measure. Our favorite winery of the trip, and one you can't afford to miss if you're traveling to Door County. read more

I was so sad when I left this winery. I was with a friend that knows the owners. So, when I was introduced to the woman, she was very snotty and acted as though she was too busy for us. But the worst thing. I bought 3 bottles of wine, my friend bought 2. When we were leaving, she said, "that's all your buying?" She kinda laughed and said, "see you later". My friend was mortified. It was very uncomfortable. I have heard after this, that other people in the community feel the same way about her demeanor. I hope she reads this. We all have a bad day, but treating people as if you are better than them, just hurts. I hope I can bring this to her attention, and this can be constructive. We can all be guilty of not being "perfect" all the time, but from what I understand, this is her pattern. Sad. The wine (I am from CA) is subpar. Too bitter in my opinion, over processed. But fun setting, no doubt. read more

they are the best! i called all the way from san francisco, ca because my parents were celebrating their anniversary in door county for the weekend. i asked if i could buy a gift card for them so that they could plan on coming and buy whatever wines they liked. $100 got them 4-6 wines. i spoke to jodi on the phone and told her that my parents were planning on coming on one of parallel 44's outdoor music event days. she made sure that i knew what time to come for their last tour of the day (which included a tour of the vineyard itself), and said that she'd reserve a special table just for them and also have the musician make an announcement wishing them a happy anniversary! my parents LOVED it and i love parallel 44 for being so flexible and awesome! my parents said that it was the best day of their entire vacation! read more

FREE WINE samples! And the wine ranges from sweet to dry. I like the sweet wines myself and they have a lot of good sweet wines. We went for the tour last time and it was informative and not to long. We try to stop here once a year. read more

My friends and I decided to take a trip out to this winery. I was nothing short of disappointed. Our help, Erin, greeted us nice and professionally. She didn't talk to us or anything besides telling us how the tasting works. While doing the samples, my friends and I were having a good time. The whole time she sat their not talking to us or anyone else. The manager or boss made a rude comment about how we have fun to the other coworkers. She also didn't smile to us or anything. My friends and I were very dissatisfied by the service and professionalism of this establishment. I will be going to any of the other 159 wineries in Wisconsin. read more
