Our Visit To Orchard Country Winery In Door County

There are so many things to do and places to go in Door County

that it is hard to pick what to do. There never seems to be

enough time to do everything. There's boating, golfing, a nature

center, several parks, biking, hiking, shopping, eating (one of

my favorite things to do!), and a host of other things to do and

see in Door County. Because I enjoy Door County so much I wanted

to share some of my activities and experiences there. One of

those was a visit to Lautenbach's Orchard Country Winery and

Market.





If you like wine, a really fun thing to do is to visit several

of the wineries in Door County (Door Peninsula Winery is another

popular Door County Winery). Orchard Winery, located on Hwy 42,

just south of Fish Creek, Wisconsin was one of our stops during

a fall trip to Door County.





In addition to a winery and fresh Door County cherries (when in

season), the main market building on the grounds offers many

different specialty food items as well as fresh baked pies. Also

offered are scenic trolley tours of the area and tours of the

winery. Other seasonal activities at the orchard include horse

drawn sleigh rides, haunted hayrides, and a winter wine fest.





When my husband, my oldest grown son, and I stopped at the

winery it was later in the afternoon in the middle of the week.

The last winery tour for the day had already ended. We were

disappointed to have missed out on the tour, but instead we

headed to the wine tasting bar in the main building. At the

tasting bar we were given a list of all the wines offered by the

winery. There are over 30. Complimentary tasting of up to 8

wines is offered to all patrons over 21 years of age.





After mulling over the choices for a few minutes we started

sipping wines. The winery specializes in fruit wines,

particularly cherry, because of the great cherry growing climate

in Door County. They also offer one homegrown grape wine made

with red grapes grown on the winery grounds, a wine named Audrey

Grace. It is a dry wine, a new offering from the winery. The

grapevines were planted just a few years ago to see how they

would perform in the cool, short growing season of Door County.





Although the winery specializes in fruit wines, they have other

offerings made with various grapes, but those wines are not made

on the premises because those fruits are not native to the area.

Some of the other wines are made on the premises but with juice

bought just for that purpose. For instance, our hostess at the

wine bar told us the juice for their semi dry wine called

Swedish Lingonberry is imported from Sweden.





Other wines that we tasted and really enjoyed were the Autumn

Harvest wine, a cranberry apple wine; Sweet Cherry wine, a

nicely sweet wine made with Door County cherries; Strawberry

Lyte, not a diet wine but a delicious lighter-tasting wine;

Blackberry Blend, a very good wine that tasted like sweet

blackberries; and Red Raspberry Lyte, another lighter-tasting

wine that's a combination of white grapes and raspberries.





We were told the top selling wine at the winery is the

Blackberry Blend. The number two seller is the Red Raspberry

Lyte. The winery's best-selling cherry wine is their Cherry

Blossom wine.





After tasting several wines we headed over to the bottled wine

section of the store and stocked up on our favorites. Back home,

we'll be able to enjoy the wine and reminisce about our trip to

Door County.
