This year marks "20 Years of Good Taste" for Wollersheim Prairie Fume wine. Winemaker Philippe will celebrate this milestone sharing history on the creation of Prairie Fume, a light and refreshing semi-dry wine known and loved throughout the state of Wisconsin.
Each day commences with a Growing Grapes in Wisconsin talk accompanied by a Grapevine Pruning Demonstration set in the vineyard. Take an excursion through some of the winery's oldest vines learning pruning techniques for home grapevines as Winemaker Philippe and Vineyard Manager Bruce share what they have learned on pruning grapes in Wisconsin. This demonstration is offered on Saturday at 10:15 am and 2:30 pm and again on Sunday at 11:00 am and 3:00 pm.
Gain some cooking with wine tips and enjoy a taste as guest chef, Paul Short, MATC Culinary Arts Chef Instructor, features Wollersheim Prairie Fume wine during cooking demonstrations held at 11:30 am and 1:30 pm on Saturday and 12:00 pm and 2:00 pm on Sunday.
In place of regular guided tours, visitors are invited to explore behind the scenes on a self-guided tour of the winery's fermentation room and underground aging cellars, plus other wine production areas not generally open to the public. Winery staff will be on hand to answer questions, as well as provide bottling line demonstrations between 10:00 am and 4:00 pm both days. In addition, a series of interactive displays along the self-guided tour give families of all ages a chance to learn together about growing grapes.
