Checked out this cute little winery in Three Lakes. They offer free wine tasting of up to six samples per person, along with some crackers & their house made cheese spread. The interior is really cute with wines, cheese, sweatshirts, and other wine items for sale. Outside they have a nice patio with tables too. The proprietors are a cute older couple. The wife took care of our tasting and was very friendly and talkative. We learned they only make wines with whole fruits. We really enjoyed their wines and went home with four bottles. Prices were reasonable. They also sold wine by the glass for $5. Recommend this when you're in the north woods! read more

I loved that they don't charge for tasting. Wine was good I think anyone can find one they love plus the cheese spread was so good read more

They have updated the winery in the last few years. When you walk in, you see a huge lobby full of home decor, wine, and food options. They do FREE wine tastings and let you pick 6-8 options depending on how busy they are and who is working. Everyone is usually extremely kind and helpful. Their spreadable cheeses including the blueberry one are to die for on RITZ crackers. Their cab wine is also to die for. They have wine for all taste buds though. They also do free winery tours which are interesting! read more

We were in Northern Wisconsin during a family weekend trip. When there's wine nearby, it's almost like my girlfriend sniffs it out. With that, of course, we had to take a timeout to go do a tasting. The tasting room looks small until you step inside. It's much larger than you would think. I do like the way it's split up. They have a bar area where you can enjoy a free tasting. One half of the store is where you pick up your wine if you decide to buy some. The other half of the store has local products from other businesses. They have shirts and various other things. Special tip: You should at least glide through the store area because they have samples set out of many of their products. I came close to buying a few of the things that were sitting out. The employees were nice and accommodating. The wine was fine but none of it stuck out to me. It was tough to learn anything about the wine because all of the bartenders were busy pouring samples for everyone. Unfortunately, they didn't have much time to talk. Out of everything I had, they did have this one chocolate wine. They had a variety of chocolate wines(raspberry, vanilla, original, whipped, etc). My favorite one was the whipped chocolate wine. It was delicious! The only drawback to the chocolate wine was that it was more like drinking chocolate milk or a chocolate drink instead of wine. If you like wine, give this place a try. You might like it. Out of all the wineries I've been to, this is one that I can easily jump over the next time I'm in the area. read more

Happy to report wine tastings are back! Not with the cheese pairings and in back, but they're trying! Delicious pours are complimentary with 2 counters. Unfortunately my favorite blueberry tart is gone forever, so they say as it was an "oops ". So I didn't get any blueberry because the sweet is just that, too sweet for my liking. Lots of other options and pairings of cheeses as well as fun gift items as well. read more

Definitely a must stop place. To start, everyone was so friendly and welcoming !! The interior was beautiful. Great selection of wines to choose from as well as unique gifts, foods, and decorations. You are able to participate in a free tasting consisting of 6 choices of wine. (Your pick). The employees will tell you more about the place and the wines. Snacks are provided as well. Very delicious. Definitely some of my favorite wines !!! Bottles are very reasonably priced as well. Cabin blend, northwoods blend, lakeside, and the cranberry/blackberry are divine. During the summer they do winery tours as well, can't wait to stop back! read more

I love this place and the wines are really good! I stocked up on the Cabin Blend and the CranZen. I don't like super sweet and these are perfect and tasty. Super nice staff. Any time I am in the area I stop for their wine. You should check it out. read more

We were up in Eagle River for a family weekend, and after a day on the lake a few of us were ready to make a stop at the local winery and brewery! First up was Three Lakes Winery. We were greeted by friendly staff as soon as we entered, and were able to step right up to the tasting bar and get started. You can select 6 wines to taste for free. As a sweet wine lover, I was a happy camper. Wisconsin produces lots of fruit wines and I love that stuff! Three Lakes Winery also sells some chocolate/whipped wines which are also delicious! But I have learned that tasting a sample size of those is much different that sitting down to a glass (or any size). They are so, so rich! I left with three bottles of wine (one to leave for the family members who gave us use of their lake house for the weekend as a thank you) and was not terribly concerned with the price I was to pay. It is all fairly reasonable! I would absolutely visit here again, if I found myself in the area. If only to try more of their extensive offering of wines! read more

On August 1, we ordered two cases of wine in the store, to be sent to a friend in Washington, DC. On September 13, that friend still had not received the wine. On September 14, I called Three Lakes Winery (TLW) at the number listed on the receipt (715-388-7434), and a recorded message told me that this number was not programmed to receive calls. I then found a different number on the Internet (715-490-5938) and called it. I had to leave a message; about 10 minutes later, a woman named Carol called back and asked how she could help me. I told her the problem and asked her where the wine was and what TLW was going to do to fix this problem. Carol had a hard time finding the order. When she did, she stated that she was not directly involved in the sale but had heard about this order's problem - had heard someone say that TLW does not ship chocolate wine because they do not make it. She also read a note on the order that TLW had called us on August 3 and left a message. I stated that we'd received no messages from TLW on August 3: our first contact with them since August 1 was my phone call to them on September 14. Carol said she'd have Emily call us back "right away" to give us more details and work out the problem. I waited for that call for more than 3 hours and then had to finish some other work. This afternoon (September 15), almost 24 hours later, I called TLW and asked to speak to Emily. She stated the same things that Carol had said: TLW does not ship chocolate wine, and they'd called us on August 3 and left a message. She also stated that, on August 7, TLW refunded to us the money we'd paid for the ordered wine because they hadn't heard back from us. Emily asked whether I'd received the refund, and I said, "I don't know. I'll have to check my credit card statement because we've been waiting for that wine since August 1." I reiterated that we had received no messages from them on August 3. I also asked her why no one from TLW had called us again on, for example, August 7 or 10, given that they had not heard from us in about a week. I noted that, with businesses with whom I've dealt, those businesses will call again if they haven't heard from us in 5 to 7 days; and this was what I did at work. By not calling us again and reputedly issuing a refund, TLW had taken the choice away from us to change the order or order again. I asked Emily what TLW was going to do to make their name good with us again, emphasizing the fact that we like the TLW wine, look forward to going to TLW when we are in the area (we come from near Washington, DC), and were so much looking forward to sharing this wine with our friend. I asked, "If TLW doesn't ship chocolate wine, why didn't somebody tell us this when we paid for the wine?" Emily apologized for this mistake. I noted to Emily that I'd already told my husband about this problem and he'd said to just cancel the order. (I have since found out that, yes, TLW has refunded the money for the wine ordered.) After apologizing for the mix-up with messages and lack of communication about chocolate wine, Emily said that, if I wanted to re-order the wine, I could do so online, as that is the best place to find out which wines they can and cannot ship. I stated I would have to talk to my husband about that and would have a hard time convincing him to even go into Three Lakes Winery again: he did not like being treated like a second-hand set of clothes. Emily said, "I'm sorry for that. Customers are number one with us, and we don't want you to feel that way." My husband does not want to order from Three Lakes Winery again. In fact, he said he could care less if he ever goes there again. What a shame. We both looked forward to going there, to helping support a local business by buying their good wine - and now we see that they treat customers no better than a "big-box" store in a big city. Three Lakes Winery has some administrative problems they must fix. One - they need to make more than one effort to contact a customer, if they don't hear from the customer in a few days. Two - they need to keep their word about calling people back "right away." Three - if they can't ship wine, they need to ensure that their staff knows this and tells the customer; they also should post signs to that effect, where the wine is. Four - the phone numbers written on the receipts must work. There are two good things to note: TLW did refund the money for the wine ordered (although it is apparent from the receipt that they under-refunded by about $22), and the employees in the shop are very nice and helpful. Three Lakes Winery needs to expend the true effort to contact us (and not the other way around) to prove that they mean what they say - "Customers are number one with us." We will see what happens. read more

I'm not sure if the winery tours are still available. However, A wine tasting experience is now featured and it is my new favorite Rainy Day activity in the Northwoods. The wine tasting area within the store has recently been revamped it it looks good! The retail space is attractively laid out and features a nice selection of culinary items and even wines from other vineyards. read more

Had a great experience!! The wine tasting was free. We ended up buying some cheese and crackers and 3 bottle of wine. Everything was delicious!! They were also very welcoming to our 10 month old that was walking around:) read more

Ughh... I wanted so badly to like this place. I was greeted at the door and given instructions on where to go for the wine tasting. Waited in like for 10 minutes before a lady came and rudely told everyone in line they were too loud and that a wine tour was coming through. She closed the door in our face. I was confused at this point because I did not know if we would ever get to taste any wines. With little to no direction after waiting for 20 plus minutes we went and bought a cheese and one bottle of wine before leaving. All the varieties of wine seemed like something I would have loved and I am the kind of person that would have bought a case of wine if I loved it. I will say the horseradish cheese was delightful but does not save this review. Such a shame. I hope they change their wine tasting process to get more business in the future they missed out on a lot of money Friday. read more

Very cute winery to visit. Friendly staff, the tasting is free and you can choose up to six different wines to try off their list while you also sample their cheese and summer sausage. My favorite wines are made at this winery. read more

Very cute winery! Free tastings and they were quite generous! Also during the tastings they would let you sample different foods made with their wines. From cheese spreads to snack sticks. Cute decor. Some great art pieces for sale as well as novelty items. Their Black Cab, CranZen and Trailblazers were my favorites. They aren't your typical "too sweet" fruit wines. Something for everyone! read more

I live on the other side of the country from here. I ordered a couple bottles, and UPS lost them. The owners and customer service at this winery were outstanding, and rectified the issue at their own costs. On top of that, the wine was great. If you live in this area, I'd strongly recommend buying wine from Three Lakes. Thank you for your customer service. read more

The 2 staff lady one named Deb were really friendly and funny. The wine is a very nice sweet fruit wine. It's a place to stop on the way to Eagle River. read more

Wine is delicious. Had an issue with my first online order due to UPS incompetence but they were quick to email and fix it. Highly recommend and will be ordering again. read more

The other reviews for this winery are a bit stale, so here is a fresh one for ya. The tasting room is a great rainy day activity in the Northwoods as Andy G. says. I did not take the tour as my tasting partners had been on it before and said it isn't much to see. You can taste up to 6 wines for free, and they have tons of wines to choose from! They make their own fruit wines which are a little sweet for me, but I enjoyed their cab sav - grapes are brought in from out west but the wine is made at the winery. Out of their fruit wines, I enjoyed the Black Cab, a mix of the cab sav and blackberry wine. The tasting room also sells lots of wine knick knacks and other specialty foods, so it is worth a look around. Bottles of wine are between $9 and $13ish. Keep in mind, the 4 stars is relative to wine and other activities in Northern WI, not necessarily compared to other US wineries. read more

I love it. Such a great variety of fruit wines. Sure, some amateur wine snobs might turn up their noses at the thought of fruit wine; but that means there is more for the rest of us. I tried a wide variety of fruit wine at a big festival in Germany known for its fruit wine (Baumblütenfest in Werder) last spring and it is nothing compared to the Three Lakes Winery. In addition to the wine; they have a large selection of cranberry-themed foods and products. My favorites are Old Glory and Cranberry. Just had their Single Best Town wine, the Cab and Blueberry mix, which was also excellent. read more

This is such a fun place to go if you are looking for something different while you are in WI's Northwoods! I've been twice and just recently went back with my mom to sample some wines and take a tour of the facility. The staff were all so friendly and LaVerne gave us a very informative, interesting tour! They allow you to sample 6 wines for free, which I felt like was quite generous. Be aware that they almost exclusively make fruity wines, so don't come looking for your traditional merlots and chardonnays, etc. Of course, their cranberry wine is their signature wine (and very tasty), but we also especially enjoyed the blackberry and raspberry wines and wine blends they offer. They also have a lot of cute gift items! The bottles of wine are also reasonably priced--about $12-$17 each. read more

The staff is always so incredibly friendly and the tastings / snacks are fantastic! Can't help but buy several bottles every time I'm in town! read more

Although we weren't able to do the tasting, we still enjoyed our experience. We were incredibly happy to witness the winery is doing what's necessary to keep their customers safe, including turning away people refusing to wear a mask. read more

Loved this place!!! The ladies were so warm and welcoming. We had a blast sampling the wine which we loved! Great conversation and they recommended several places to visit while we are here. Definitely recommend visiting here! read more

While searching Northern Wi for Tesla chargers, we came across Three Lakes Winery. I basically grew up in the area but never had the pleasure of stopping at this location. My Wife and I decided to take a beautiful winter drive through the snow covered ,Pine wooded roads. We were close by so we stopped and they do in fact have 3-4 Tesla destination chargers. The Winery is beautiful and well kept. The staff were nothing short of excellent! my 2 1/2 old son was also with us on the trip and they accommodated him as well with cheese and crackers helping us keep him distracted while we made our selections. My wife enjoyed the wine tasting as all of them were delicious. It was hard to walk out of there without the milk chocolate covered cranberries which I have to say were delicious as well! We will be coming back to Three Lakes Winery it is well worth the drive! But if you can't drive to the location they also will ship right to your door! A Big thanks to the entire staff, keep up the great work! read more

Three Lakes WI may not be as beautiful as Napa, but her winery pours heavier, friendlier, and freer tastes so i'll take it! apparently they marketed the world's first cranberry wine back in the 70's and have been fermenting any pomace they can get their hands on since then--pumpkin [my favorite], rhubarb, pomegranates, cherries, you name it. the cranberries are locally sourced too since WI is the cranberry capital of the world so you can feel all warm and fuzzy while you're getting warm and fuzzy. if you're a true Wisconsinite you'll also appreciate their dessert wines, which are delicious blends of their table wines w/straight-up whipped cream and chocolate (that have higher ABV's, too!) if you don't want to schlep up to the Northwoods, they ship anywhere in the US it's allowed http://freethegrapes.org/ read more

Not my style wine but really nice people and cute retail area. It's great to see business such as Three Lakes Winery making such a strong impact on the town! read more

While a visit to the Northwoods my friend suggested that we come to Three Lakes Winery. She had never been there but was recommended by another friend. We were both so happy that we made the drive over. When we got inside we were very surprised to see that you can taste up to 6 wines for FREE and they have several to pick from! They also put out cheese and crackers to sample. Nice to help clean your palate before your next tasting. The staff is so friendly and very knowledgeable about wines. I really enjoyed the Cabernet Sauvignon so he had me try a 7th sample of another he thought I might like. We also were given a sample of their ChocoVine Raspberry. This was so good and was suggested to us to pour it over ice cream! We did not to the wine tour which is also free but did a little shopping and came home with several bottles of wine and cheese. This is defiantly a must visit! My husband and I are going back to the Northwoods in October and I can't wait to take him here! read more

Three Lakes Winery - Enjoyed our wine tasting! - Wineries Near Me - Three Lakes, Wisconsin

We stopped in Three Lakes this weekend to charge our Tesla as this is one of their designated destination charging stops. What a cute little town! We enjoyed the Winery and did a free tasting. The bartender was so sweet and helpful and all of the wine is top notch! We LOVED the Cabernet and all of the chocolate wines! Really awesome little place if you are driving through. read more

Three Lakes Winery is nice and they do offer "free" samples, six of them to be exact. However to cover their "free" samples they sell their bottles of wine for approximately $2.00 to $3.00 more per bottle than you can buy it for at the liquor store about 4 doors down. White Deer Wine and Spirits sells Three Lakes Winery wine on the Main Street just a few doors down much cheaper, exact same wine. We bought the grape-cab for $14.95 at the Winery then stopped at the liquor store, exact bottle $12.99. Two others we compared were also $3.00 cheaper than the Winery. So as you've heard "there no such thing as a free lunch", in this case there's no such thing as free samples of wine (unless you don't buy any bottles of wine. The clerk at the liquor store said yes they sell it cheaper than the winery where it is made at. Goofy marketing and only thing I conclude is the price is higher to pay for the samples. Liquor store also offers an additional discount for multiple bottle purchases. read more

Love the selection of wines and they are priced right. A very good place to buy wines in Wisconsin

I've never been to the winery, but my Mom just LOVED the wine from here. So, for Christmas I called them up and they were very helpful and I placed an order for 6 bottles of wine. Not only were they fantastic and helpful on the phone....but I received my order THE NEXT DAY!!! I couldn't believe it!!! More companies should be like this!!! Thank you Three Lakes Winery! read more
