Wisconsin Wine, in Brief

Wisconsin's wineries range from the tourist favourites of Door County, where cherry wine and lake views draw summer crowds, to the serious cold-climate vineyards of the Driftless Area in the southwest, whose steep bluffs above the Mississippi grow some of the Midwest's best hybrid wines.

The state also has a long tradition of fruit wine and a strong cider scene, and its largest winery is one of the oldest in the region.
