We visited for my 30th birthday, and what started as a wine tasting turned into one of the most…read morememorable experiences of our trip. The wine was hands down the best we had all weekend, but what truly made this place special was Tom, the owner. From the moment we arrived, Tom welcomed us like old friends. He shared stories, made us laugh, and connected with us on a level that went far beyond customer service. By the end of our visit, we were joking that we wanted to take him home with us! His hospitality was so genuine and heartfelt that 4 out of the 6 people in our group were actually in tears before we left. That's not something you can put a price on, although we happily spent over $300 because every bottle and every moment was worth it. Tom made us feel like family, and that kind of experience is incredibly rare. If you're looking for amazing wine, authentic conversation, and a place where you'll feel truly welcomed, this is it. Thank you, Tom, for helping make my 30th birthday unforgettable. We can't wait to come back!

This was a spur of the moment stop and glad we did. We sampled homemade wines (made from juice,…read morenot grapes btw) that were really, really good. My favorite is the Blueberry Pinot Noir. The Black Raspberry, fantastic and also the Mixed berry Cabernet was awesome. Bought 4 bottles! The wine was super inexpensive also. $5.95 a bottle!! The man who made the wine is really nice and accommodating. He was happy to let us sample anything and everything we wanted. Very proud of his wines. I must say I enjoyed myself! Highly recommend to stop in! They don't mail anything but next time I'm in the area I will definitely pick up a few more bottles.

Another stop here as we head for Bayfield. We enjoyed a flight of wine and a cheese tray. Also…read moreenjoyed a glass of kombucha. The wines here are very tasty and the cheese with crackers tray is great! Very nice outdoor patio to enjoy the countryside.

Very happy we took the time to find this. Such a thoughtful…read morerelaxing environment to try some new wines and ciders. The staff are kind and welcoming. The thought put in to the seating areas is noticeable. Would definitely recommend stopping in for local art, wines , and beautiful surroundings.

Wonderful dog-friendly place no matter the season. Pups are welcome indoors…read more You choose a table then go up to the bar area to order. We had a Guinness and old fashioned, then they were out of Guinness, out of the second choice of Irish beer so hubby had to go with a third option. It was just the lack of beer that knocked it from five stars to four.

This was a great stop in Hayward. They have a variety of products, including wine, beer, cider and…read moreslushies. I got the flight, which was a nice way to sample a few things. You can mix and match any drink instead of needing to stick to one category. You can get one wine, one beer, etc. On your flight in any combination. You also get a souvenir glass when you do the flight. The service was friendly, but a little slow and scattered. This is definitely worth a stop if you're in the area.

How fun! It's not about the wine, it's about the service and the atmosphere!…read more Super cute, everyone is really friendly.

These are a kind of wine you have to really like to get into, for us they mostly tasted very syrupy, but fun to try.

Nice venue with seating inside, or a screened-in outer area, or outside at picnic tables (with…read moreumbrellas and without). Outdoors they provide cornhole, hula hoops, footballs, etc. The outdoor area is dog friendly. Service was the main reason Tamarack Farms got four stars instead of five. We checked in for a table as soon as they opened, but it was a very long time after we were seated before we got water and could order. More minimal dings were for not providing BBQ sauces with the ribs, butter for the cornbread, or wet wipe packets. As someone who ate regularly at the original Famous Dave's that burned down, these things were the standard. Not extras. And now they don't provide them when other BBQ joints do.

I enthusiastically change my rating from three stars to five!…read more I visited Tamarack Farms with my family during our recent trip to Hayward and wow is this spot much improved from when I visited six years ago. Some things that stood out: * The farm pizza! This was delicious. We tried a couple including pepperoni and mac and cheese pizza. The crust was excellent as was the toppings. I was also impressed by how well the mac and cheese stayed on top of the pizza. The kids loved it too! * The brisket! My husband's aunt and uncle recommended this, and they weren't wrong. It was so tender. Just perfection! * The cornbread! If you ever had Famous Dave's cornbread, this is very similar, and for good reason. "Famous Dave" Dave Anderson owns Tamarack Farms. * The wine slushies! On a warm day, these hit the spot. It also feels like this restaurant has refined its approach. This includes the decor, the menu and how the restaurant is run. Where before we had to wait a while for our food, this time around everything seemed to run like a well oiled machine. Tamarack Farms also includes a fun selection of wine, so you could take some bottles home with you. The building is open and airy, with large garage doors. It's just a fun place all around. I hope it becomes a tradition that we come here whenever we're in the Northwoods.
