This beautiful winery gives small Italian village energy, and the atmosphere felt so serene. It's the kind of place that makes you want to slow down, sip wine, and just soak it all in. I had the penne al forno paired with a lovely red blend (I forgot the name, but trust me, it was delicious). And I have to give a special shoutout to Alexis, my waitress, she was absolutely amazing! Super friendly, knowledgeable, and made the experience even better. I can't wait to come back when the weather breaks to tour the vineyard. If you're looking for a little escape, Villa Bellezza is worth the trip.

The winery/distillery is nestled into a scenic area, right next to the Chippewa River. Behind the building is a large area with the stage, with the vineyard behind that. On this day, they had Happy Trails Pizza serving food. The inside of the building has a large main seating area. There are different areas for tasting wine, ordering cocktails, or buying snacks and merchandise. The entire space is well-designed. We ordered a few cocktails and grabbed a table under the pergola-covered area. There weren't that many other people there (it was a very warm 90°F day), so we had lots of space. My Lavender Collins was very good, and everyone else enjoyed their refreshments. While we listened to the band, we munched on the caramel corn that we purchased inside. If we hadn't already had lunch, we would have tried the pizza. Maybe next time. Would definitely come back again for a drink and a concert.

Amazing. I forget what my boyfriend got but it was a cold sandwich with different deli meats, cheese, and veg. See picture. Their beef sticks (the teriyaki, in particular) were the best I've ever had, and being born and raised in the Midwest, I've tried a lot of beef sticks. Their cheese was also great (I recommend the sharp cheddar, bacon cheddar, smoked provolone, and onion cheese). Ice cream was okay. The interior and exterior are very instagram-able. Worth a day trip from the cities for sure! Check out the nearby National Eagle Center while you're in town.

I really like this location, right next door you have a wonderful bakery, and I gift shop, but that is for another time.

I believe the menus is somewhat seasonal, but I will tell you the pork belly sliders were very much enjoyable. We also had the Sweet Potato, black bean tostada...if you want a filling meat-free entree, this is the one. They also have a full bar and a decently curated wine list. The Sauvignon Blanc that was suggested was quite enjoyable. If you are traveling the WI side of the river road, you will want to hit this place up to eat and stretch your feet.

The Caprese was so fresh and delicious: the basil was flavorful and refreshing with the chilled tomatoes and fresh mozzarella.

The Marsala was also saucy with hearty mushrooms and significant pieces of pork that were tender and filling. Skipped dessert but did have a glass of quilt red blend from Napa Valley. $13. Service was attentive and the interior was lovely and welcoming.

Even ONE pizza and a salad to split, is too much food for my wife and I so there is enough to have another meal almost. OH, get a side of sauce for your pizza dipping, you wont regret it!

GOOD: The overall concept is well-executed. Wine selections are clearly displayed on the overhead menu, with options for glasses or sample flights. Pricing is transparent and reasonable (more on that in a moment), and easy enough to follow along even if you've already had a drink elsewhere. I also like that you can choose a bottle of beer from the fridge if you don't want any of the wine selections. For me, this made the overall experience more approachable. The lounge area is warm and inviting. Relaxing club seats up front, with some tables next to the bar, and a small store in the back. The feel is late-middle aged cool. Service was very warm. NEEDS IMPROVEMENT: * The wine... was nothing special. While the prices were reasonable, even the "premium" wine was not all that noteworthy. If the Rev is going to succeed as a wine bar, I would recommend better selections. (The beer fridge, however, was very nice - and that saved it for me.) * The food menu situation is completely hosed. And to me there is nothing more discouraging than walking into a bar and being presented with a food menu... and an apology that the menu is completely out of date. Our host was apologetic and promised a new menu in the future. We hope so. Overall the Rev is definitely worth a visit for Eau Claire locals and visitors alike. It's grown-up cool, laid back atmosphere is good for a group of fun seekers out on the town. I'd only like to see improvements in wine quality and consistent food offerings.

I want to give a shout-out to the The Rev for being such an AMAZING host for our 20-year Memorial…read moreHigh School reunion, which was held July 20, 2019. To preface: I work in international education, and was planning our reunion from China of all places. As you might imagine, planning an event for 100+ people from abroad is no easy task. Combine this with the extra challenge of trying to communicate with a virtual Firewall in the way, and you can understand what an undertaking this was. The first issue was getting a venue. With the reunion being held during the same weekend as Country Jam and Rock Fest, our planning committee was a little bit nervous about the different venue options available. We were relieved to find that The Rev had availability for that weekend and would happily accommodate our group. We had a limited budget to work with for this event. Working directly with us, the fabulous Kate Haas, owner/manager, went about putting together a catering plan (heavy apps) that went under budget (and more importantly) appeased the diverse pallets of 100+. B/C of budget limitations, we opted to do a cash-bar w/ a complimentary champagne toast at 8:00 (which, by the way, was perfectly organized). A great offering of craft/domestic beers and wine + spirits gave everyone great beverage options. Bartending staff throughout the night were FANTASTIC! Being that we were celebrating our 20-year reunion, music nostalgia was KEY. Kate hooked us up with one of her specially-picked DJs for the night. Let me say: He was the star of the show! Non-obtrusive, but also knew EXACTLY what needed to be played at the EXACT moment. Many said afterwards that they had never experienced a better DJ. Get that man a raise! The Rev, itself, is amazing for hosting a group of 100 ppl or less. Great ambiance, an outdoor space out back - even a small room in back to use as central operations and/or additional space. Best of all, with The Rev being in the heart of DT Eau Claire, attendees can do some bar-crawling in after-event hours. All-in-all, this was an event for the ages. My HUGE thanks to Kate and her staff at the Rev for making this such a wonderfully positive experience. Got a group you're trying to plan an event for? Look no further than The Rev!

Conveniently located by the new co-op, this shop provided the small-town cozy feeling that I needed coming in from the city. This shop obviously has plants, but I was surprised to see a great variety of coffee, chocolates, stationary, bowls, and other locally made artist items. The biggest jackpot win for me was finding their antique clothing where I snagged a lovely brown fur coat and a dress (very reasonably priced) that I was able to wear to a wedding the very next day. The owners went out of their way to let me try on the clothes in a back room since their primary focus is plants. This goes to say that you will be in good hands if you choose to visit. Thank you for making Menomonie even more special, Hive and Hollow!
