    Such an honor to have this located in the very small town of Trempealeau, Wisconsin. What a treat. Beautiful atmosphere, a nice selection of wines and hors d'oeuvres. Great service. A perfect experience for a pleasant afternoon outside surrounded by the vineyard with bluffs in the distance. Looking forward to visiting again! Favorite wines: Red Tail Reserve, Verona & Elmaro Marquette. hors d'oeuvres: The Seasonal Platter was a perfection combination of cheeses and breads to compliment the wine.

    Everyone was so helpful. We tried the sweet flight but ended up buying the Sangria. The slush and cookie were okay, but the cranberry spread and bread was a better balance with our tasting. The hilly views were amazing.

    Time to whip out your bucket list! Whether you're a wine aficionado, a road tripper through Wisconsin, or just someone looking for a new hidden gem to discover, Elmaro Vineyard is a place you will want to put on it. Family-owned and operated, you cannot deny that the hospitality here is second to none. It's a perfect place to sit, savor a bite, and enjoy a sunset, especially in the company of good friends. My recent visit was on a beautiful fall day, and it seems that everyone in a 100-mile radius had the same idea! Although the parking lot was full and the winery was bustling, we still got a warm welcome. Sidle on up to the tasting counter and try a few varieties of their vines. If you happen to be the driver, there is an array of non-alcoholic beverages, including alcohol-removed wine if you still want to feel a bit festive (not the winery's label, but still a more fun alternative to bottled water). Your visit is not complete until you head out to the back terrace. Relax on the outdoor couch and watch the sun slip down behind the bluffs on the Minnesota side of the Mississippi, and enjoy a nibble from a cheese plate as you while away the evening. Wisconsin never looked so good! If you've been thinking about visiting Elmaro Vineyard, do yourself a favor and just make the trip already. Like me, you may just discover a new favorite place!

    If you like to eat cheese and drink wine this is your place. I've visited a lot of wineries and this one is by far the best for atmosphere, having charcuterie, and overall experience. There are several different kinds of wine to choose from too. The huge $50 platter has the best blueberry cheese I've ever had and you get a ton of it. You'll want to have like 6 people to chow it down though cause we couldn't even make a dent in it. They have events throughout the week too like live music, yoga, craft fairs, etc

    A beautiful place with lots of seating outside. It was a crisp fall day but nice and sunny! I sat in the tent and enjoyed the live jazz band. There were a lot of people but they had plenty of seating. It's clear people come here frequently. Some families even brought blankets to picnic on the grass. I tried a couple flights and had the salami cheese platter. For covid, food comes in boxes and tasting wines in small bottles. Everything I tried was unique and delicious! The grounds are beautiful for walking around. A great experience and I'd be happy to return. One thing I did notice, wines online are more expensive than in person. I'll be back to purchase in person next time.

    Great pictures of my first time at Elmaro!!

    Great time at Elmaro for my first time. Staff was very helpful and nice. Would definitely recommend and will be going back at least once a month.

    Came in for a first-time visit with my mom. It was pretty busy for a Sunday, but we never felt rushed or ignored. The view is stunning, and I can't wait to see it on a sunny summer day. Ethan was the person who assisted us from beginning to end, and we had a wonderful conversation with him about the wine selection and life in general. He is well informed, friendly and so fun to chat with. The tastings are still COVID-style, meaning you get little 2-oz bottles instead of pours, which wasn't a problem for us at all. My personal recommendation is the Marquette Rosé. Can't wait to come back!

    Amazing setting, great wine and we really enjoyed the snacks offered! We will definitely be back!

    Hands down THE BEST tasting wine at a Midwest winery found to date! We loved every wine we tried and actually bought a case. That NEVER happens! I can't tell you how many Midwest wineries we've visited where we just bought a bottle to be nice. Service was top notch and staff were very knowledgeable about their wines. We will be back when weather is nice. I bet it's gorgeous!

    Great wine, great service, great views and very COVID-mindful operations. Check out the Elmaro Rosa or any of their fun seasonal wines. The vistas are reminiscent of California's Central Coast.

    We found Elmaro Vineyard on a bright and sunny summer Saturday. Our family was so surprised to pull up to the most beautiful land, well kept buildings and amazing [huge] patio. There was plenty of wine for tasting indoors and outdoors there was plenty of seating. A food trucks supplied some eats along with a kitchen running inside. While we sipped the bottles we purchased, live music rung out in the tent so we stayed for a couple hours to take it all in. It was a wonderful afternoon, a fantastic vineyard and I would highly recommend stopping in!

    Great place to sit outside on patio with wine and a cheese plate on a beautiful afternoon! Complimentary tasting of 3 wines each helped us pick our selection for purchase. Very friendly place & highly recommended.

    After frustration with the wineries on the Minnesota side we stopped here on a Sunday afternoon expecting to find more bitter and sickly sweet reds, or mouth puckering whites...

    Have had Villa Bellezza on my list of places to visit for a while and found a fun reason to visit…read morewith friends recently. The property transports you from western Wisconsin to Europe. For a little moment, you might forget you're in the midwest. There are options to sit inside or outside, but if it's a nice day, sit outside, it is so gorgeous. If you go on the weekend, there is a brunch available in addition to the regular menu. The brunch was actually really good. If a couple people want to have the same glass of wine, just get a bottle, it will be cheaper. There is a very nice selection of wine to take home as well. Highly recommend!

    Our first time at Villa Belleza for a wine tasting experience…read more We were only there for a wine tasting so we did not have an opportunity to have lunch. My first impression of the property is that it is beautiful. They did a nice job with the property. The outdoor vineyard and wedding area is also quite lovely. The property was clean, restrooms clean, nice outdoor patio for dining. For the wine tasting, our hostess did a nice job explaining the various wines as we moved through the tasting menu. I didn't catch her name but she was very nice. We also briefly met Matt who was also very friendly. I felt the majority of wines were more on the sweet side, however, there were definitely several that leaned dry. I would t necessarily call any of them "full bodied". For Wisconsin wines, these were actually pretty good. The pours were generous compared to pours you may receive when tasting in Napa, Sonoma or Paso Robles so well worth the price. I would recommend stopping in and visiting Villa Belleza!

    From the owner: Brambleberry Winery is an artisanal La Crosse area craft winery located 5 miles east of La Crosse…read moreand Onalaska in the friendly community of West Salem, WI. Our focus is on producing delicious wines from the best grape juices we can source from around the world. Established in 2013 in Jackson County, Brambleberry moved to 234 N. Leonard Street in West Salem. We’re open Thursday, Friday and Saturday from noon to 8 p.m. and Sunday from noon to 6 p.m. Brambleberry is the Scottish word for blackberry, which was the first wine we made about 40 years ago. We are perhaps best known for producing some of western Wisconsin’s most delicious drier red grape wines, which are our passion. We feature cabernet sauvignon, merlot, pinot noir, corvina, sangiovese, carmenere, malbec, tempranillo and other red blends. We also have lovely white dinner wines — chardonnay, sauvignon blanc, pinot grigio, gewurztraminer, riesling, sweeter riesling blends and a fruit-forward moscato. Our popular sweet — but not TOO sweet — fruit wine blends feature the fruits of raspberry, apple, blueberry, blackberry, cherry, orange, pear, pommegranate, peach, watermelon, mango and a unique tropical citrus blend with coconut. Brambleberry Winery also is a licensed restaurant with a light menu of pizzas, cheese bread, bruschetta and charcuterie-type snack plates for you to enjoy with your wine with some gluten-free options.
