I do not like this place. 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. read more

LOVE RED OAK!!! We come all the time! Service is always amazing, staff is very friendly and personable. 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. Pizza, can't go wrong with anything you choose. read more

Great food they fit us in last minute with a party of eight drunk bachelorette with a ton of other people here they were super kind loved it!! read more

Overpriced drinks! $30 for 2 drinks. Ordered the BEACH pizza which was supposed to have shrimp, pineapple and canadian bacon. Others who came in 20 minutes after us were served before us. After 45 minutes we finally got our 12 inch pizza.... no sauce; mostly cheese. 5 little pieces of shrimp, 3 pieces of canadian bacon and 3 little pieces of pineapple. All for $28 plus tip!! WILL NEVER GO THERE AGAIN!! Oh... and an hour after eating I got the diarrhea really badly!! DON'T GO THERE!!! read more

The staff was amazing! I really enjoy their sweet wine selections. Cherry Pepin is one of my all time favorites. We also loved the Oompa Loopa wine slushies. I will recommend this winery to all my friends stopping in Door County (just so they can pick us up a few bottles). read more

This was our first stop on our small winery tour we embarked on for the day. It had a small wine tasting room and one man that was serving everyone, so service was a little slow. We were pleasantly surprised by the greeting of a free taste of the Oompa blue wine, which was so tasty! Each flight is $12 for 5 wines, and you also get complimentary crunchy bread sticks and a truffle. Nice touch. We all tried different wines, which was fun, but we unfortunately only liked a small few (the Oompa blue and one of the ports). The cranberry wine was pretty good and very tart! I read some other reviews that this winery features more traditional dries, not as sweet as other wineries around. We are not huge dry wine drinkers, so if that is your thing, this place is for you! Overall rating 3/5 stars, it's worth a stop to try if you're doing a tour, but don't expect to hang out all day! read more

When we walked in the vibes were off, the staff was rude and judgmental and not welcoming at all. Overall a sad experience.

Rude staff, condescending. Good food place, bar was rude to me and refused to serve a flight because my 2 children did not have an ID proving they were 21+. read more

This winery is the place to come for more refined wines. Their wines tend to be finer than those from other Door County wineries. The focus seems more on traditional dry varietals rather than the sweeter wines prevalent in this area. Prices for these higher tier wines seemed correspondingly high, especially for this area I was quite pleased with the quality and taste of the wines I tasted, but disappointed with the apparent lack of knowledge about the wines from our tasting staff (although she did inform us that all the grapes are sourced from California). read more

I felt we were disturbing the staff. When we asked for a glass of water, they told my husband he could buy one from cooler. Wine was substandard. We did not purchase any, which is rate read more

We understand that we are getting wine in Door County, but some of these wines were pretty bad. We did love the Riesling and the Gewurztraminer, but the rest we couldn't finish. The lady server at the bar, was a little too absent minded and checked out 2 people before us even though she knew we were next. read more

A large barn with good but overpriced wine. There are many sweet/fruity selections as well as some dry and blends. The staff was friendly and knowledgeable and eager to answer questions and make recommendations. The inner space is warm and welcoming and plenty big for parties. Be sure to check out the gift shop for all things wine. Worth the stop and enjoyed the tasting. read more

My boyfriend and I did a round robin of wine tasting. This was our second stop. It was a relaxing atmosphere accompanied with nice music. The special of the day that they served was "The Oompa Loompa". It was a blend of sweet blueberries and grapes. Andy was our laid back server. You get a flight of your desired wine at a cost of 5 for $10. If you're looking for a relaxing time for you and your friends, I suggest coming here. read more

Red Oak Winery - Sweet red wine - Wineries Near Me - Sturgeon Bay, Wisconsin

Stopped in here based on the recommendation from another winery where I was looking for bigger more robust reds instead of the predominantly more sweeter wines that you find in Door County. The tasting itself was a reasonable $5 with a fairly decent selection of wines to choose from to include the bigger reds I was looking for. Relative to the tasting, the pours were generous and the wines were OK but clearly not in the league of the major US wine regions of California, Oregon and Washington. Relative to the facility, it is very bright with a contemporary flair to it with wine barrels stacked high along the side of the tasting area providing a good ambiance for the tasting. There its also a setup for bands that apparently play on the weekend during the height of the tourist season which would definitely be a lot of fun and add quite a bit to the wine tasting experience. Relative to staff, the person handling our pours on this day was not as well versed on their wines as some of the other wineries we had been too which limited some of the discussion/education I was looking for and definitey detracted from the tasting. Overall when approaching these Door county wine tastings you need too temper your expectations on the quality of the wine and instead focus on the experience which can be quite enjoyable especially if doing these tastings with family and friends. I give this experience three stars based predominantly on the lack of knowledge of the wine we were served which is a absolute must for a business like this. read more

Ok I'm not a wine enthusiasts so I might not know what I'm talking about. But I will just share my experience with you. Hubbie and I have been taking a trip to Door County every fall for a few 4-5 years now and this is the 1st time we had stopped at Red Oak. From the outside I just didn't want to stop in. But I was so pleasantly surprised, it was very lovely. A great open space in the seating area, warehouse. There was a musician playing. We sat in the tasting area, friendly workers, very knowledgeable. I can not remember how many samples you get but it's $5 and the pours are generous. I think I lean more towards a white wine, I'm not sure because I am not a wine drinker. But what I had was good. I don't have hot flashes but I swear I was having one when we left, that wine warmed me right up! Fun experience. read more

On highway location but on way or out of door County Large well appointed area/tasting room Live music and friendly staff Wines are well done some local grapes grown on property Higher end pricing and 8.00 tasting fee for 5 samples Would stop again read more

Kind of stuffy atmosphere. Staff was not overly friendly as other wineries were. No other people were here except the two of us. No music playing. Good wine but not a great atmosphere. read more

Red Oak is a lovely place with nice tasting areas. Along with wine they have beer for people that may not be wine drinkers. Although they have a large selection of wines, I wasn't able to find a wine I enjoyed, they were all too acidic for my taste. I also found it interesting that even though they have a vineyard, they get a lot of their grapes from California. My three star rating is based on the service, when we were there there were hardly any other people there, yet it took forever to get a poor or even to be acknowledged when we sat down, only two people there at the time. The girl behind the bar, Jenn, spent a great deal of time talking to a guy whose glass was always full while she basically ignored everyone else, not overly helpful or friendly either. I think their wines are just okay, certainly not worth the prices they charge. read more

For Door County, WI this is my favorite winery. My family and I have been coming to door co in the summer, fall, and winter for 25 years (and I'm under 30). The service is always personable and friendly. My only issue is that sometimes when in a hurry they've talked too much - but I attribute that to Midwestern hospitality. My issue with the other two reviews is that they did not go into detail about why the wine was average. Red Oak isn't sweet wine and for harvesting some of the grapes for the wines they sell the wine is high quality. Stones Throw near Baileys Harbor had great wine -but most if not all of the grapes are from out of state and out of the 4 times I've been there they've been terribly and inexcusably rude and mean (read: never going back). Red oak has friendly people, live music many times, and a comfortable atmosphere. Simon Creek is another winery in the area with great customer service. But Red Oak has the winning combo of wine and friendliness. If you want sweeter wine you should try Door County Penninsula Winery - and there's nothin wrong with that. Just like there's nothing wrong with the drier wines at Red Oak. Try the Pinot Noir and Tempranillo. read more

Great winery with excellent wines and phenomenal staff. Pricing was to be expected with this type of venue. Learned a lot and shared some great company. Thank you!! read more

Not our first time here. Nice outdoor area. Good wine and friendly staff. They allowed us to bring our cooler with food and eat outside on the property. The Mystic Red is very good, by far my favorite. The Riesling is a nice white. Not too sweet. We really enjoy this place. Give it a try. read more

This was our first stop in Door County, price for tasting was high, cost of bottles was too. The wines just average, no ambiance at all. read more

Went here on a wine trail of Door county. The wine is pretty good but not very special, the tasting was reasonably priced but the bottles are very expensive. The staff was very welcoming and professional on top of the live music which was great. Wasnt the warmest environment for a winery. read more

Probably top 3, if not favorite winery in Door County. Very great selection of delicious wines, and such an inviting, relaxing atmosphere. Prices are reasonable, and the staff are incredibly friendly and knowledgeable. Our tasting was with Jeff and he was AMAZING - really made for the BEST start to our self-guided tour of the wine trail. Will absolutely be back... also, best dessert wines of any we sampled on our entire tour! read more

One of my favorite places to stop. We make sure to bring friends each time we head up to door county. Love the service. And love the smoothness of each of the wines. Live music makes the visit even more fun. read more

Wine was delicious, dog friendly (they even had treats!). Classy tasting room decor with friendly staff! Definitely worth a stop!

Not worth the stop. Their sweet and port wines are good, but the white and red wines tasted watery and as if they had been open for a week. There were four servers in the room and all of them stood behind the bar talking instead of serving those sitting at tables. read more

First stop on our weekend wine tasting... Both servers were rreeeaaallly helpful. My sister if a grape juice with alcohol kind of gal... He tried really hard to find something she would like.. No luck but still someplace I will be adding to the list of stops... Plus it is next to the bird feed outlets store... Made my moms day. read more

Not bad. I enjoyed all the wines I tasted. The ladies at the bar were very nice. Over all I was satisfied with the wines and ended up taking a few bottles home. read more

This is my favorite winery in Door County. The people that gave it a bad review are just cheep and don't understand wine. Prices are very reasonable. Also this is always are first stop when we get to town and the ambiance is always great. Also most of the time they have awesome live music. It is a very nice relaxing winery to enjoy. We stop every time we visit, about twice a year. Thank you Red Oak :) read more
