Cedar Creek Winery — Attraction in Cedarburg

Let me just say, we picked the most beautiful day to come to Cedarburg. The weather was amazing, and Cedar Creek Winery located right on the creek was incredibly scenic! My husband took me for my birthday to enjoy the wine and cheese pairing tasting. We sampled four wines and were given a pairing plate (think like lunchables but classier) with three cheeses and some chocolates. The wines were delicious and we were very impressed by the prices - quality was amazing for a bottle of wine under $20. Let me just say, I’m cheap and don’t spend more than that on a bottle of wine because I, like Leslie Knope, cannot taste the difference (so brilliant idea to go to a wine tasting? Yes, I get it, I just like wine okay). The cab sav was so smooth and full, and the Monamore cheese they paired it with (all Wisconsin cheeses by the way, which I thought was a great touch!) was unlike anything I’ve ever had before. So good! The white wines were not my MO but I’m more of a dry wine gal - my sweet wine loving husband thought they were great though! I do also have to say, we brought my seven week old daughter along for the ride and they were so accommodating, which I was very impressed by - surely they could have turned us away or made a stink about it, but everyone was so kind. Four stars only because the building was not very accessible (a lot of Cedarburg has steps up into buildings, but this tasting room was down a flight of 100+ year old stairs, which adds to the charm but would limit who could all enjoy this...

Great experience. My boyfriend surprised me with a private tasting (which was actually us and one other couple) and we got to try 4 different wines and 4 different cheeses. The story was told of the winery by a member of the family who actually worked there. She was really nice and informative. The wines had a different taste than what I’ve tried at wineries in my area but I loved the tasting. We headed on downstairs afterwards and tried a few more wines. The rosé had a very unique flavor with its hint of bourbon. It is one unique winery. We got the impression from the website that it was an actual winery with the vineyard and hills in the back and it was not. It was sold here and is made somewhere else 2 hours away which is a little different. I expected it to be a vineyard as well. But, it did not disappoint. Each floor (3 total) had unique shops you could stop at. I found old candy, huge selection of teas, a store that was filled with amazing 20s items, clothing and fur coats, and there was other art shops, a Christmas store and more. The building itself is very beautiful and has a River and little waterfall behind it where you could sit and eat at the cafe. There are also other buildings on the mini campus that had food, cookies and one was a jewelry store. We spent over an hour and a half there. It was a nice experience. Cute town where all the buildings look like...

Staff five stars, tasting and experience one star. We will have to come back when life is normal again. We were so excited to bring friends to Cedar Creek Winery this past weekend. We were greeted with friendly staff and given the high level information about the winery. What was very disappointing was the options for wine tasting and the reason for the rating at this time during COVID-19. A tasting was $10 for five wines chosen by the winery with no other options. The tastings were provided in small plastic cups similar to those used at church. We were also asked to preferably take the tray of wine outside. This ruined the ambiance and experience for us and we decided to pass all together. We understand that businesses need to navigate this time with their interpretation and we need to accept the changes however we must admit we were sad period we had amazing memories from a past visit where we hung out at the bar tasting many wines for a small fee and experiencing Cdar Creek Winery. We will look forward to visiting when hopefully the world gets normal again and would be excited to up our rating. We did find other places in Cedarburg that were more flexible and still had...
