Upcoming Events at the Winery
HISTORIC CAVE RIBBON CUTTING
Friday, June 21, 2013
11:00 am | Open to the Public
Join us as we celebrate American wine history with the ribbon cutting of our restored cave! This historic cave is where American wine pioneer, Agoston Haraszthy, once aged wine.
"It is a beautiful cave, a beautiful part of history. We want to share it with all and make sure it is enjoyed and visited by all." ~Winemaker Philippe
At 11:00 am, we will cut the ribbon and “christen” the cave with a bottle of wine marking the official opening of the cave. A celebratory toast will follow, along with Wisconsin cheese and sausage.

Note: The cave will be open 11 am – 4 pm throughout the summer for viewing historic pieces, such as a press and barrel, along with pictures of the four families that contributed to this property’s history.
