Amazing wine tasting conducted by the wine educators. The princess pie pizza is amazing for harmonizing with wine!

The best pizza I've EVER had, and such kind, helpful, and knowledgeable staff! Well worth the drive and I'll be making it again very soon!

This is a great place but way too loud. Why not add noise canceling panels to get the noise down. Makes us not want to come back.

Awesome place out in the country outside of Ripon. Very friendly staff and a good place to catch some great live music. Good beer and pizza too.

Just visited Vines & Rushes Winery near Ripon,Wi. We were greeted and served by Kathy who provided four of us with a delightful tasting experience and fun conversation. What a gem she is. Will definitely return next time we’re in the area.PS: my rating was supposed to be 4-1/2 stars (not one star)! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️?
What a beautiful winery! The wines were fantastic but the service we received from Jan was extraordinary! Thanks for the great little stop along our way!

What a pretty winery. Wood fired pizza's and the FRESHEST salads ever, all home grown veggies. Delightful. Pizza had the best crunch and done to perfection. The wines were good, the front porch so comfortable and the waitstaff excellent.

The wines were great and the good options awesome. A great way to unwind on a Fall Saturday afternoon! Would go back in a heartbeat.

My boyfriend and I had come from Milwaukee up to the Green Lake area for our anniversary weekend. We went to this winery because it had been recommended by a family member. It was a really awesome experience. First of all, the wine tasting is only $5 to try five wines. You get to choose whichever five you want to try from their list. The portions are rather generous for a wine tasting, and the wines were all pretty good, in our opinions. As we tried the wines, the bartender explained what type of grape each wine was made of and how the wine got its name. They have a very strong commitment to locally sourcing their ingredients. All of their grapes are grown in Wisconsin, and as such, they specialize in making wine from grape varietals that are able to tolerate our cold climate. We were also informed that the ingredients for the pizzas are locally sourced, and that the artwork and decorations in the building were made by Wisconsin-based artists. After we tried the wines (and ordered some to take home with us) we went to the pizza kitchen to eat dinner. The pizzas were delicious and reasonably priced. They had lots of options for pizza toppings, and also allowed me to make a minor substitution on a specialty pizza to accommodate a dietary restriction. I would recommend this winery to anyone visiting Fond Du Lac County. If you don't drink alcohol, come for just the pizza; it'll still be worth your while.

We started with the $5 tasting experience. Totally worth it. You get the history of the winery and get to taste 5 wines of your choice. It allowed me to purchase a white and red I knew we would enjoy later. You then stand in line to order your food. We started with a meatball and breadsticks appetizer followed shortly with the beet salad. Both were delicious. The meat balls were steaming hot. The breadsticks were more like fresh parm cheese bread. Both were delicious. The meatballs were in a nice flavorful tomato sauce to add to your meal. We chose a build your own pizza choosing pepperoni, sausage and black olives. The pizza was wood fire cooked so thin with nice crisp edges. So good. There is a lovely covered patio to enjoy the green vines and farmland. Staff brings your ordered food to your table. The staff was friendly and quick with all that was ordered as well as wonderful about clearing off dishes as we finished. Such a great experience! Can't wait to try my new wines.
