There was nice live music playing, and ample seating available. The atmosphere was relaxed and unhurried. The assortment of wines, including both Harbor Ridge produced and imported, was very good. I recommend this business.

Had a lovely time: we bought cheese next door and left an ID for a knife and cutting board (jerks…read moreapparently steal those) and sat outside to listen to the live music at the winery. And we (was with my sister) got paddled (4 wine samples). (Service was super nice: the nice bartender carried the paddle outside for me bc I'm a super, super shaky walker and would have spilled the wine everywhere w/o having had even 1 drop yet.) Yep, I'd go again. (And yes, the cheese from the cheese shop next door was awesome!)

If I could give Lake Fire Winery more than five stars, I absolutely would!…read more From the moment we walked in, Austin made the experience exceptional. His wine recommendations and tasting guidance were spot-on, but what truly impressed me was how he explained why I disliked dry wines. He took the time to teach us about wine in a way that was engaging, approachable, and incredibly informative. I even found myself fact-checking a few of the things he shared afterward--and he was absolutely right! I left with a much better understanding of wine and a completely different appreciation for it. The wines themselves were outstanding. Every sample was thoughtfully selected, and we loved them so much that we ended up taking home three bottles. It's rare to find a winery where every recommendation feels like a winner, but Lake Fire nailed it. The winery itself is just as memorable as the wine. The atmosphere is trendy, upscale, elegant, and welcoming all at the same time. My favorite spot was the charming outdoor garden tucked behind the tasting room. Sitting in the sunshine with a glass of incredible wine while overlooking the water felt absolutely magical. Lake Fire Winery has created something truly special. Between the knowledgeable and passionate staff, award-winning wines, and one of the most beautiful waterfront settings in Door County, this was easily one of the highlights of our trip. We can't wait to come back--and we'll definitely be recommending it to everyone we know!

It's really cute on the inside, much smaller. It has some seating inside and a while outside section you can sit by the lake. Lots of yard games too, it's a neat spot. The wine wasn't my favorite, but maybe I just got the wrong kinds they had a lot of options as well as a few beers. Overall, fun and cute. They even had live music which was awesome!

I also sampled 4 nice juices - a tart cherry, a sweet cherry, a cherry-apple, and an apple cider - all delectable but I preferred the sweet over tart cherry and that cinched the wine flavor I chose. They have a lot of wine flavors also. If I like the one I bought, there will be ample enticements to return for others. Wife picked up some cherry donuts, dried cherries, and chocolate covered cherries as well. It's a fun place to putz around.

I got some cherry salsa to go! The wine was good too and the staff was friendly and excited to talk about their wine.

We took the sightseeing tour and it was just OK. Our guide…read morewas a local born and raised in Door County. He was very nice , but not especially engaging. The vast majority of the tour was spent in Peninsula State Park, which is pretty, but how many views of the Green Bay do you really need to see? We were hoping for more history of the small towns in the area, and some spots of interest, but aside from a little bit in Ephraim and the mention of a couple favorite restaurants we didn't really get much of that. The tour wasn't overly expensive, so not a huge deal, but rather disappointed overall. We wouldn't take friends who come to visit us (we live in NE Wisconsin) on the tour as we can look at pretty views of the lake on our own.

We just visited Stone's Throw and had a great experience!…read more We intended to just have a glass of wine but decided to have the charcuterie board. The meats and cheeses all were delicious. Our party of 3 all had different wines, I had a Cabernet and it was one of the most delicious wines I've had in recent memory. I also tried a sparkling wine my wife was having and the essence of almond made it even better. In addition the setting outside was very relaxing. They have some oak casks in a display surrounded by flowers and grasses, so you are surrounded by nature along with music that enhances the atmosphere. Our server did a great job taking care of us. We were able to really enjoy the service and relax. We definitely will be returning on our next visit to Door County!

Maybe they have had it before but now there is a local honey on the shelf. Literally something for everyone. While we didn't have time to stay for a drink at the bar (we were there to buy our fav' bottles), it looked fun w plenty of tables and snacks to buy. There is no food service/no kitchen. Maybe they allow carry-in/delivery...? Our fav's are the gin, aquavit, & limoncello. Be sure to stop by, it's a not miss! Really quality liquors that would give any of the better known brands a real run for their money (to say nothing of supporting a small biz). Thank you, Patrick Shaughnessy Chicago, IL

After about twenty minutes, my husband asked the only woman working if we could carry in food from next door. She said yes, but try to limit the toys. My husband asked her to repeat herself because he didn't hear her and she said, just try to keep it down on the toys, we have people trying to read. We were surprised that a wine bar warranted that kind of comment. If it's a coffee shop, library, book store, then OK. But a wine bar? We left and went next door to Thyme. I'd recommend that place if you're interested in an activity outside of reading quietly.

Staff were amazing and enthusiastically shared information about the ciders. I love that they use apples and other ingredients from Washington Island- hence the name of the business! They are doing some creative things here, and the lavender and hops varieties were particularly unique and I enjoyed both. All their ciders are dry which we loved and the fermentation process they use produces a light carbonation. I really like how they do the flights in an ala-carte pricing structure which lets customers truly create a fully customized flight vs getting locked into one tier of choices. We bought a bottle to take home as a gift and also noticed the packaged options of local snacks if people want to have some cheese and crackers or similar to go with their cider. We are officially adding Orchard Island Cider to our spots to return to on our next vacation here in Door County!
