River Bend Winery & Distillery

Such a festive place with delicious beverages. Their Vendors in the Vines events are so fun!

ooking for something to do on a warm summer day, I saw that they were having a free live music concert featuring the Bear Creek Band. The winery/distillery is nestled into a scenic area, right next to the Chippewa River. Behind the building is a large area with the stage, with the vineyard behind that. On this day, they had Happy Trails Pizza serving food. The inside of the building has a large main seating area. There are different areas for tasting wine, ordering cocktails, or buying snacks and merchandise. The entire space is well-designed.

We ordered a few cocktails and grabbed a table under the pergola-covered area. There weren't that many other people there (it was a very warm 90°F day), so we had lots of space. My Lavender Collins was very good, and everyone else enjoyed their refreshments. While we listened to the band, we munched on the caramel corn that we purchased inside. If we hadn't already had lunch, we would have tried the pizza. Maybe next time.

Would definitely come back again for a drink and a concert.

Came to hear the outdoor music. We brought chairs but the venue had some out. Other people brought party tents. You can pick a wine flight of sry, semi sweet or sweet, a mix of styles. They also have a distillery which we didn't try. They had a few soda bottles in the cooler, self pour water, and mocktails. There was also a pizza food truck on the day I came.

Great wine, great pizza, great band. Definitely come here again.

Three great wine flights (dry, semi-dry/sweet, and sweet), and a few spirits for sampling. Wine and spirits for sale. Try the maple vodka!

We had a wonderful Sunday afternoon. The live music was a great pairing with a could glasses of wine.

We enjoyed a tasting with friendly, knowledgeable staff. Beautiful patio for sipping wine and having snacks.

Asked for a sweet white wine, similar to a moscato. They recommended their Moonlight, a white blend from Wisconsin. It was perfect; smooth, sweet and mellow. Looking forward to trying their Pink Flamingo next. Highly recommend giving River Bend a try. Excellent local wine at a very good price.

Polite staff, good tasting wines and distilled drinks
