I was extremely disappointed with this winery. I brought up my list of wine that a friend and I wanted to try, 5 each. The hostess was rude and wouldn't serve us a flight of wine. She also told us we could only try 3 samples at the counter. The menu clearly stated a dollar a sample and not a limit of 3. I don't mind paying for samples, but I if you limit the quantity for me to try then I won't buy your wine. I was also told to bring up my glass, what glass? I hadn't been served a sample. This winery needs to work on their service and policies. If you limit samples for people to try then your sales will suffer. I go to lots of wineries and normally buy lots of the more expensive wine when I go. This time I walked out without a single bottle, because of the service was so poor.

Spectacular wines. Had a great wine tasting experience. Loved several of the wines and left with three bottles.

This is a whimsical moment with delightful scenery and a welcoming atmosphere! We stopped at Cold Country Vines & Wines on a whim!! and what a sight to see!!! We were greeted by the beauty of fallen grape leaves from Vitaceae, a long driveway, with acres of land surrounded by a sense of peace and serenity.Once we arrived at the upper tasting parking lot, we were welcomed by their family dogs and a friendly smile inside.The vineyard lies along the Niagara Escarpment glaciers, where grapes are known to flourish with beauty and a bountiful taste. As a first timer, I decided upon tasting a variety of their Estate Grown, even though they all taste great. I would recommend White Out for the crisp blend of white Blanc sweetened with notes of apricot, tangerine, and melon, Red Sunset with a semi sweet smoky note of black cherry and vanilla, or if you desire a port wine, take a moment to sip on Marquette Indulgence.The Marquette Indulgence is filled with the pleasant satin taste of berry, plum, and cinnamon apple. This luscious port is perfect for pairing with your favorite dessert or sipping while reading a good story.As a first-time experiencing Cold Country Vines & Wines is a delightful experience. I hope our leap of faith to stop on a whim is as delightful as it was for us. It will be for you, too!One more suggestion, take a moment in the gift shop, there is something to sure strike your interest!10/30/2023.

What a pleasant unexpected stop today! Melissa, so helpful and friendly, Vinny directing the parking, (winery fur baby)...but best wine in Northern Wisconsin so far! Highly recommended from a wine maker!

This was a nice winery in a secluded area. Wine choices were good although my wife wished there were more sweet wines available. $1/1oz pour for tastings. They had a decent outdoor space and inside decor was just ok.

Good selection, something for every palate. Try a flight and find your favorite.

If I could give this place zero stars I would. The lady behind the bar judged our group even before we purchased anything. Saying "You're not the normal type of people we get in here" as soon as we step in the door. She pretty much ignored us. It's not like we rolled in and trashed the joint as soon as we got there. WTH? The gentleman behind the bar was a little more friendly so there was that. I'd say the friendliest thing about this place was the dog. Never again.

You will want to try their Syrah! Friendly personnel, excellent gift shop selection & plenty of space to watch the game of your choice. The beautiful dogs on property were an added bonus!

Great venue for live music, semi-outdoors over looking the vineyards and lovely wine!

I'm a white wine person. That being said... All the wines I tasted had a nice grape flavor. The additional flavors really popped in some wines, others had a nice finishing flavor. Our server was super friendly and informative. We enjoyed every second of our tasting.
Copper Box rocked it to day at Cold Country Vines and Wines. Great venue and delicious wine.

We were greeted by 2 very sweet, friendly farm dogs. The receptionist was friendly, welcoming, and informative. Since this was our first visit, she did a great job explaining and/or describing their procedures and products. The price for a taste, glass, and bottle were fair. As a matter of personal choices we preferred th dry wines. We sat outside for our tasting and the surrounding view is was pleasant and relaxing.We also purchased a cheese plate and crackers to cleanse our pallets between samplings.

By far one of my favorite places to stop. The people are always friendly. No masks required at this time of you've been vaccinated. Did I mention their wine selection is awesome. Today I left with a La crescent, Sunset Red, and a few others. The crowning jewel for me was a bourbon barrel Cabernet!

Personal service from owner, very friendly and happy to talk about how Cold Country got started. I love their story. Also love their wines, the Chardonnay and Marquette being my favorites. And I pick up the sweeter Brianna for my husband.

Always enjoy sampling the ice wine here!
