American Wine Project — Attraction in Mineral Point

Looking for a winery near Madison? Or a place to spend an afternoon after a tour of Taliesin or before a show at American Players Theater? American Wine Project is a must.

The extra special touches did not go unnoticed, from the outdoor game set up, the gourmet snack table, the fireplace care, the bouquet of fresh flowers, to the quality wine (and local beer choices, too) and hospitality. We're so grateful and highly recommend the American Wine Project for an afternoon with friends (or alone)...
