Wollersheim Winery & Distillery
Wollersheim Winery
A 19th-century winery on a hillside above the Wisconsin River, with stone cellars open for tours, producing some of the state's best-known wines, as well as its own brandy and gin.
The history of Wollersheim Winery goes back to the 1840s, when Hungarian nobleman Agoston Haraszthy planted grapes here. He later moved to California, where he became known as the Father of California Viticulture. The current stone buildings and hillside cellars date from the 19th century and are listed on the National Register of Historic Places. You can take a cellar tour and taste wine in the tasting room for about $10 to $15. The winery's Prairie Fumé is one of Wisconsin's most popular wines, and there is also a production facility and a café on site. It is across the river from Prairie du Sac, about 45 minutes' drive from the Dells, and can be combined with Devil's Lake and the Merrimac Ferry.
