Saint Croix Vineyards - Stillwater

Spectacular vineyard, delicious wine. Lovely staff.

We had fantastic wine here. The semi-sweet wines and reds were all great, along with the tomato basil cheese, and the lady serving them was knowledgeable and nice.

Wines were fine, but they aren 't using enough of their own grapes to really be a vineyard . Plenty of outdoor seating, but most is not overly comfortable, and not picturesque. The accommodations felt more like a church picnic or bikerfest than a vineyard. Our host, Ken, was friendly and informative, though he did unknowingly give my Wisconsin heritage a backhanded slap. A big plus was their allowance of us bringing in our own snacks.

It was very expensive and kind of boring. I went with two kids under 4, so keep that in mind with my description. They have 3 janky play sets, obviously two young boys loved them. They each had puddles and mud at the bottom of each slide, missing things, run down look. Sand isn't expensive, you just need to pour a few hundred pounds at the end of the slides. They had a little train pulled by a tractor, the cars were boarder line going to fall off the tractor, and it costs 5 dollars to ride it in a circle twice... That was insane. They have drinks and wine and some food, those were nice. Spendy but I don't think over priced. They have goats, the boys had fun petting them.

The free weinguttour with ken on Saturday at 12 noon was a fantastic experience! He brought us to the weinberg and the rooms of the weinbauer to explain the entire process from grape cultivation to harvest and wine growing. it was informative and funny! interior and exterior seats are available. casual atmosphere. wein samples for $9 or $14 per set. the wee were in a reasonable way around $20-30. we loved the port wine and the sweet white overall a great experience
