Wineries near Eau Claire

“Maja deserves a big raise!!! Fantastic job explaining the different wines and cocktails. Excellent customer service! I bought 8 bottles. Summer Heat is ridiculously good! HIGHLY recommend! We were here for a girls weekend and traveled 3 hours for our trip and are having a wonderful time! Small plate of cheese and goodies was fun too.“

“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.“
