I had no idea this winery existed prior to our visit. We stopped in on a Saturday as soon as they opened. Due to being the first ones there we had the whole place to ourselves. The place was small, but charming and the staff were very friendly. We opted with the sampler, and I loved that we got to pick what we wanted to try. Not every winery let's you select your tasting. We picked a couple of whites, a rose and some reds. Overall I wasn't a huge fan of any of them- but I like very sweet wine and well cocktails lol. My husband on the other hand ended up getting two bottles of white wine so clearly my tastebuds are off. We had a fun time visiting the winery and I think we would stop back if we are ever in the area again. The whole thing took maybe 30 minutes and was a great way to start our weekend!

With its remarkable wines, welcoming hosts, and cozy atmosphere, Cracked Barrel is a gem that wine enthusiasts and novices alike should not overlook. First and foremost, the wines at Cracked Barrel Winery are nothing short of extraordinary. The selection is diverse, offering a wide range of Midwest varietals that cater to all palates. The reds are robust and full-bodied, the whites are crisp and refreshing, and their unique blends are very welcoming. It is clear that the winemakers here are passionate about their craft, and it shines through in every bottle they produce. What truly sets Cracked Barrel Winery apart though, is the attentive and warm hospitality of the hosts. The staff is knowledgeable, friendly, and eager to share their love of wine with us. They were more than happy to answer any questions you might have, and their passion for what they do was infectious. This kind of personal engagement with the hosts is what makes the tasting experience all the more enjoyable. They take the time to explain the history and process behind each wine, creating a connection between the customer and the product. It's evident that they care deeply about the customer's experience and are genuinely invested in ensuring you have a memorable visit. The atmosphere at Cracked Barrel is both comfortable and inviting. Sit at the bar, grab a table or sit on the couches, you will feel welcome and comfortable. Whether you're enjoying a glass of wine indoors or taking in the beautiful scenery outdoors, it's the kind of place where you can easily lose track of time and revel in the joy of good company and great wine. Thanks for creating such a great place!

Name of the game; own the grape. This winery, for the most part did, collecting juice from WISCONSIN wineries. Real deal. Missed a 5 by only having one bathroom for all to use. Not exactly user friendly...but the wines were good.

Excellent winery. We had a perfect afternoon sampling wine and snacking on a cheese board out on the patio. Will be returning for sure.

I have visited a few times and they have the best atmosphere, great welcoming help and yummy slushies! Also check out the different nights of entertainment. I give this a 5 star all the way.

There are 3 reasons for 5 stars:1. The owner talked with the 3 of us through our flights! Super smart and funny! Would love to hang with her again!2. The wine was fabulous! Truly!! There were 3 bottles I could have purchased and been happy!! (Only bought 2). Will probably go back for more!!3. Vinny. I haven't had my leg licked like that in a long time! Thank you Vinny! I'll bring a bone next time!Didn't know they had food. We ate lunch in Hudson... next time we'll just head there!You done good Cracked Barrel! Really good!!

Enjoyed the slushy! Very good! Little bit of highway noise, but otherwise, it's a beautiful setting overlooking looking the vineyard!

Nice store. Good tasting wine.

Great atmosphere, great hospitality, and great service! A fabulous gem, nestled away in NW Wisconsin.
When we walked in we were not greeted and almost felt like we were an annoyance! The wine was good but we were told nothing about it. The outside was great but will not come back!

Found this winery while searching for another business. The business was very easy to find, is very eye appealing and was very welcoming.The two young ladies who were serving were both very delightful, fun and informative.I sampled a glass of wine, and my wife purchased two bottles.We are less than an hour away and will definitely be returning on a regular basis.
