Simon Creek Vineyard & Winery, Sturgeon Bay

Beautiful vineyard and winery off the main roads in a very picturesque setting. The scenery here is terrific with the rustic barn to one side and the vineyards located behind the main building. The staff was also very courteous and friendly. My wife and I will both admit that while we felt the wine selection was limited here, we both fell in love with the variety of Ports that were available. Their Hazelnut and Chocolate Ports are like drinking liquid chocolate and are great for an after dinner dessert drink. This is great place to stop, sample/buy some wine, and take some pictures for next years Christmas letter.

This is our first visit to a Door County vineyard. I have to say we had a good experience. Bar staff was helpful, the wine is decent and the outdoor deck is nice for sipping. I dunno why this place gets the rap that it does, or maybe that's part of the plan to keep out really snooty and unhappy people. Heck, I wouldn't want them around while in enjoying a glass of their excellent vintage. We liked the Cherry Red so much we bought a bottle!
