There is always something new to enjoy and it is a very relaxed, comfortable, and unhurried setting here. We almost bought some jewelry for the grand-darlings but didn't quite bite the bullet.

The art at Edgewood Orchard isn't just contained to the gallery. It spills out everywhere: in the…read moregarden, in the parking lot, in the restroom. This whole space is a work of art. This is one of the neatest Midwest galleries that I've visited, and it didn't hurt that on the day that I visited, they were offering free bloody Marys and hot chocolate. Of course, I partook of the hot chocolate (with a glug of Bailey's, because it was there). How nice to have a little drink while perusing all of the art everywhere. It makes the art pop that much more. Edgewood has artwork from more than 100 artists in a wide range of media: paintings, sculpture, glass, clay, wood, jewelry. I left with a coaster for my father that had a dragonfly on it (a special symbol to our family). There is artwork in every price range here, so you can leave with a little bit of Door County artwork no matter your budget.

This is one of the shops that I found before we headed to Door County and decided I wanted to…read morevisit. It's a nice shop, but I didn't find a lot that interested me. I did buy a couple of baskets. They had some really cool art in the back, but they were prints so I skipped them. The originals have been made with leaves and other botanicals to create some really interesting work, but it didn't have the same impact for me as a simple print. The shop carries a lot of home decor sorts of things like baskets, vases, bowls, candles, and that sort of thing. Also they have a wide selection of jewelry. I almost forgot about wanting to stop here until I checked the Yelp collection I made, and we didn't pass the store when wandering along Main Street because it was separated from most of the other shops to some extent, being next door to a restaurant and one other shop but removed from the bulk of the shopping area. So if you want to stop by keep your eyes peeled.

Great art! The artist is so creative and the work is so beautiful! Check it out, you'll love it!read more

Oh, how I wish I could spend a weekend at Bjorklunden, just studying topics that interest me, going…read moreon hikes in the woods, communing with Door County nature and playing checkers in the lodge. Alas, I just got to visit this place and take a little tour. Apparently, Lawrence University students can retreat here when they want, which is fortunate for them. This is a sanctuary where people can find quiet and contemplation. The general public can also sign up to take classes and seminars, and spend the weekend at Bjorklunden in what they call a "thought-provoking vacation." Located on the grounds of Bjorklunden is Boyton Chapel, a small wooden structure built in a late 12th-century Norwegian style. If you get a chance to peek inside, you should -- it's beautiful, with biblical paintings on every wall and hand-carved wooden pews. When I visited, it was snowing and everything looked white and beautiful. I imagine the area is equally as beautiful when everything is green, but there's something about being here when things are cold and sparkling that make it extra special.

We just visited Stone's Throw and had a great experience!…read more We intended to just have a glass of wine but decided to have the charcuterie board. The meats and cheeses all were delicious. Our party of 3 all had different wines, I had a Cabernet and it was one of the most delicious wines I've had in recent memory. I also tried a sparkling wine my wife was having and the essence of almond made it even better. In addition the setting outside was very relaxing. They have some oak casks in a display surrounded by flowers and grasses, so you are surrounded by nature along with music that enhances the atmosphere. Our server did a great job taking care of us. We were able to really enjoy the service and relax. We definitely will be returning on our next visit to Door County!

We enjoyed visiting Stone's Throw Winery, and I want to start by saying that our wine host,…read moreChristina, was friendly, bubbly, and made us feel very welcome. She did a wonderful job guiding us through the tasting and was one of the highlights of our visit. However, I was surprised that there weren't any plain crackers, bread, or even pretzels available to cleanse our palates between tastings. After sampling several wines, the flavors begin to blend together, making it difficult to fully appreciate each wine on its own. I understand not every winery provides palate cleansers, but many do, and it's a simple touch that really enhances the tasting experience. Even plain crackers or slices of bread would make a noticeable difference. Despite that, we enjoyed the wines enough that we joined the wine club and spent over $400 on wine before leaving. That alone should show how much we liked what Stone's Throw has to offer. Because of that, I hope this feedback is taken in the spirit it's intended--not as criticism for the sake of criticizing, but as a suggestion from customers who supported the winery and would love to see an already enjoyable experience become even better.

The instructors are great - all are accomplished artists in their own right and many teach at the college level - but to the person they have been friendly, helpful and oh-so-kind in their critiques. I guess it's Door County rubbing off - but the fellow students have been great, too. Friendly and open. By the first afternoon, the jitters go away and everyone starts talking and helping out - from offering gentle suggestions to sharing supplies. Hands down the best experience I have had in taking art classes- and I keep coming back for more!
