On the Door County Wine Trail, visitors can spend a day sipping their way through eight
local wineries stretching from Algoma to Fish Creek.
Door County keeps finding ways to bring visitors back, and the emergence of a network of local wineries makes
the place a little extra bubbly. The Door County Wine Trail allows visitors to spend a day experiencing eight dif-
ferent wineries, each with its own personality and its own unique wines. Stretching from Algoma to Fish Creek,
the wine trail is a journey that wine lovers will savor. The member wineries also combine on June 24 for the Door
County Wine Fest. For those who want to leave their cars behind, there is even a trolley that will shuttle you from
one stop to the next. For information, go to www.doorcountywinetrail.com.
