We stopped in at Bunnycup Winery for wine tasting while visiting friends in WI…read more This cute winery is set up with a tasting room, outdoor patio with a stage and event space on the property. When we arrived we headed straight to the tasting room. The staff were friendly and attentive. We decided on flights and they were served in proper tasting glasses on a board with oyster crackers. We headed out to the patio where there were several tables set up to enjoy the outdoor space. It was crowded! The yard had tents and trucks set up with activities and games for the kids as well as items for sale from different vendors. The reds were actually pretty good. I didn't know what to expect from grapes grown in WI but we had a good experience. We enjoyed music from the band and hung out in a nice relaxing atmosphere. We were checked on by the staff several times and were never left waiting for service. We enjoyed our time at Bunnycup Winery and will visit again.

Bunny Cup Winery: Where the Wine Is Legit and the Vibe Doesn't Suck…read more Looking for your next destination or the perfect pit stop before bolting from the Twin Cities? Look no further--Bunny Cup Winery is your move. Just 20 minutes from Taylors Falls, MN (or St. Croix Falls, WI if you swing that way), Bunny Cup sits in the heart of Wisconsin cabin country--Luck, WI, right by Balsam Lake. Owned and operated by a down-to-earth couple from Woodbury, MN, this place is pouring up small-batch wines that are bold, fun, and not trying to be Napa. And thank God for that. You won't find any of that overpriced "barely flavored vinegar water" here--nope. Just real-deal, full-flavor wines that you'll actually want to drink again. Their motto? "Seriously Unfussy." Their energy? Spot on. Bring the kids. Bring your dog. Bring your weird uncle. No one's judging. Add in food trucks like Drool-Worthy Creations (yes, that's us) and live music from local legends, and you've got the kind of afternoon that makes summer feel like it used to. New destination? Maybe. Unexpected tradition in the making? Absolutely. Make the drive. Make a memory. See you this weekend.

There's a great variety of wines to choose from, and the tasting area feels relaxed and inviting, perfect for spending a laid-back afternoon. Parking was easy and convenient, with plenty of space close to both the vineyard and the attached apple orchard. The orchard is fabulous, offering cider flights, a charming gift shop, and lots of sweet treats to try. Overall, it's a lovely spot for a weekend outing -- peaceful, scenic, and full of local charm!

We were greeted by Katey who sat us up for the tastings and explained the process. At that point, Amelia stepped in to run us through the variety of wines. We took our table number then found a great spot on the patio with views of the beautiful vineyard. We were brought our first tasing which we chose all reds. Are they Napa or French quality wines? Absolutely not. However, they are good for WI wines and we have been to a variety of wineries in WI. We also ordered a pizza which was very tasty. Served on a thin crust. Perfect for an afternoon lunch and tasting. Amelia tended to our table and made sure we had everything we needed for a perfect wine tasting experience on the patio. We then ordered a tasting of their fruity wines which included a light rhubarb wine. These were light and refreshing so we purchased a couple of bottles to enjoy in a beautiful summer day. We also ordered a chocolate desert wine and purchased that as well. I would recommend stopping in on a beautiful day so you can enjoy the patio and walk through the vineyard. Beautiful spot for pictures as well.

We we're told the outdoor tour was the same stops you just walk outside in between. This was very good to know for the future! I'd definitely consider doing their downtown Minneapolis tour. My favorite stop was Afro. The dishes were very unique and tasty! We also sampled beer, cheese curds, chocolate, popcorn, chicken skewers, gyoza, and cucumber rolls. I don't drink beer but they provided a root beer and a ginger beer that were pretty tasty. I appreciated the substitutes.

The website listed gourmet food, and at two of the stops I had chips and salsa/guacamole, not "local specialties." We got two tiny samples of beer, when it was advertised as a beer tasting tour. It felt like a waste of money, and I think it was false advertising based on the website. Our tour guide was nice and polite, and he seemed to have good knowledge of the city. It just seemed like it wasn't what we paid for. I wouldn't recommend it.

They blew us off I am assuming because we are not regulars. We ordered a pizza and they gave it to someone else by accident. Instead of feeling bad, they were dismissive of us. The lady on the table who got our pizza apologized. But the workers seemed to ignore us. Nice place but if you want a friendly easygoing experience skip it and go to another winery. Gave it a two because the unfriendliness brought down our night. Then my husband went up to the counter to ask a question she ignored him and talked to others behind us. Very disappointing.
