Check out gal was the best! Great time was had by all!
Overall, Door Peninsula Winery was a good stop, but it wasn't quite the winery we were looking for.
There is almost no end to the variety of wines you can get here; they have many styles and flavors of wines, ciders, and even meads! They offer a free tasting which is great as most wineries charge a small fee.
The storefront is pretty big with a bunch of other things available. The wines are also very accessible and most are priced between $12-20 a bottle.
My only real complaint is that I was hoping for more wines made with grapes grown from their own vineyard. Still, this is a good stop if you're visiting Door County.
The wine is good. I guess. I had a stroke some years ago so I talk a little funny and I've noticed that every winery I visit, whoever is serving the tasting gives me so little to taste that I.... can't actually taste it. My wife gets noticeably more with her samples. So does literally everyone else. It's like they think I'm a mentally challenged person or too much brain damage and they don't want to give me any alcohol but that's not their decision to make. It's mine, and my doctor's, and I have every right to be treated the same as everyone else.
Then we bought some wine - mostly cider that my wife tried, because as I said, I didn't get enough sample to get any idea what it tastes like, so I'm not going to buy it - and the cashier told us that as long as we brought the cart back, we could use it to take the wine to the car. Some older lady tried to stop us and didn't even listen to me (I talk funny, but I'm easily understood) and looked at my wife for explanation. I was the one pushing the cart, I had explained it to her twice and she completely ignored me.
We will not be back.
We stop here every time we visit Door County for any reason, excellent/clean establishment, awesome product selection, and friendly/helpful staff!
This is a must stop place to visit in Door County. They must have fifty different flavors of wine, including quite a few interesting combinations. The Blackberry Merlot is an example. Merlot flavor, but unexpectedly has a very light body. They offer five complimentary samples (very generous portions) & suggest other samples based on what you like. This leads to new flavors you may not have considered. They also have a gift shop in the old schoolhouse area with fudge, popcorn, cherry salsa, different hot sauces, & a bunch of kitchen knickknacks. They have really built it up into an nice, upscale place.
Best wine tasting in the area and awesome selection and gift shop too!
Most favorite place.
A wonderful spot to learn more about the winemaking process and sample some innovative wines. I really enjoyed the free tour of the facilities and learning more about the winemaking process. As someone who usually prefers bourbon, I was pleasantly surprised that there was a bourbon barrel wine to sample. It had a stellar and familiar flavor.
The staff here are very friendly and approachable, especially the tour guide I had. I enjoyed talking to them over free samples of wine, olive oil, balsamic vinegar, fruit butters, and various dips. I ended up spending about three hours here and it was one of my favorite parts of a two-week road trip. Graham and Louis will take good care of you at the bar, they made great, well-informed recommendations for me to try while being personable and fun to hang out with for a while.
The distillery and winery here are exceptional, but the staff here somehow elevated my experience 10 times as much. Kudos to all of you and keep up the great work, I am happy to recommend Door Peninsula Winery!
Great time ! Not crowded,good weather. Stayed at Somerset Inn and Suites in Ephraim. Nice ,clean great beds,nice outdoor pool area and indoor pool too. Nice fire pit and grill area,play area for kids.Front desk people were friendly and helpful. Great location. Reasonably priced, would definitely stay there again.
This place is super cool for stopping in, they advertise just about everywhere in town & online that they offer free wine tasting. This sounds great, but I will say the staff that was there the day I was for tastings truly could not have been more rude. Staff members seemed completely miserable the entire time and made this whole place a far less fun experience.

Everything is fantastic. I don’t even live far away and I got so many things for me and more to send home to my family. Wonderful people, fantastic prices, and most of all the stuff here is so beautifully lovely and so special. Go!!! 5 free wine samples :) I actually only needed 3, I got a quick surprise favorite on #2 (Cranberry Mule—ingredients I never usually go for). Try the cherry and blueberry balsamic… the vanilla fig would be so good with ice cream… the fudge is incredible… well, I’m happy I don’t live too far, is all I have to say.
Free wine tastings, quantity discounts and great wines. Chocolate cherry was an outside favorite as was the lighthouse white! I could have done a lot of damage but showed restraint. Loved the fudge and cheese as well! SIL came for the Bat Shit Bourbon!. If it hadn't been raining, I would have looked for for chairs and a table outside and spent a while!
This was one of our first stops for the weekend, wine tasting was a blast. So many different unique options for tasting, and thank you luis for the kind suggestions across the menu
The wine tasting experience here with Luis & James was phenomenal! Enjoyed the experience thoroughly! Five stars!
