My friends and I did a girls trip to Waterford and ended up finding this cute winery along the way. We absolutely loved the area, there's plenty of seating both inside and outside. The staff was incredibly helpful and gave us amazing recommendations on what wines to try. I would definitely recommend this to anyone in the nearby area. read more

I wasn't sure what to expect from my visit at Pieper Porch, but I was delighted by the experience. It was surprisingly affordable. My party of three ordered three flights of wine - dry, semi-sweet, and sweet. Each flight had five different varieties of wine and it only cost $5.00 per flight. You can also mix and match wines if you don't want to go with a predetermined list. For $7.00 they also offered a white cranberry and blueberry wine slushie. It was delicious. There isn't a lot of seating, so it's a good idea to bring your own chairs. They also don't offer any food, so a little picnic or charcuterie board would be fun. I'd highly recommend trying out Pieper Porch. It's such a unique experience and you really can't find anything else like this in the Waukesha area. read more

This was a fun experience but the wine was just ok. The staff was friendly and helpful. Arrive early as they get very busy. Inside is air conditioned but seating is limited to 90 min. Outside seating is unlimited, we stayed from 11-3. read more

I love visiting wineries because they typically have a welcome feel and the staff are so personable. Unfortunately Pieper porch did not give me this feel, they are more touristy I guess. They were very busy so you get the low down on how the tasting works and the sheet outside you then mark your options take it inside to pay then to the bar to get your tasting board which you then take back outside for the pours. The wine was ok but I'm pretty sure they do not grow any of their grapes on-site, yes they're were Gracie's vines but I don't think they are actually producing. The wines for the most part are made from grapes that cannot be grown in Wisconsin. It just not the typical type of winery I like visiting read more

Great "hidden gem" in my opinion. Went to Fazio's in Elm Grove, WI to get chocolates. When there, I got a bottle of wine that the wife loved. When looking at the bottle, I noticed the bottle noted it was made in Waukesha, WI. Eventually, looked it up online and saw it was about 20 minutes from the house, so we gave it a try. It's technically in Mukwonago, and we went during the fall/winter (Which is their slow time of the year). Got there and it was a small little winery with an indoor sitting area. Can bring your own food, which can be need for kids. They had some pretzels with mustard and ended up getting that. As for the wine, you can get various flights (Sweet, Dry, and I think one other) which is 5 samples, a couple ounces each. The wines were good, don't recall a bad one (Got a Sweet flight). You can also purchase wine bottles in the building as well towards the back. Never heard of this place before Fazio's. Now having been there twice, would no question go back and bring in family if they stop by. Bottom line, highly recommend! read more

Good selection of dry reds listed which drew us to this location. Unfortunately, just 3 were available for tasting. That's ok. We were happy to purchase a glass of another type. Nope. Only by the bottle. Such a disappointment. read more

My husband and I came for a Sunday date! We really enjoyed the scenery of the property! There were numerous wine options to choose from. The staff was very nice. read more

Pieper Porch Winery & Vineyard - wine tasting - Wine Tasting Room Near Me - Mukwonago, Wisconsin

tl;dr Who doesn't want to eat their own snacks while drinking award-winning wine on a beautiful giant-ass porch!? Super impressed with a fun day at Pieper Porch Winery & Vineyard. I had it highly recommended to me by a friend with the simple notion that you can try a lot of wine, bring your own snacks and enjoy a beautiful day - sold. Family owned and operated, it's an awesome deal to go into the tasting room. You get five samples to start out with and another five samples (and signature Pieper Porch wine glasses) for $5. Everyone in the tasting room is very knowledgeable and didn't hesitate giving recommendations per what we liked. I enjoy sweeter whites while the guy I was with likes the drier reds. After the tasting, you can buy a bottle or just pay by the glass. I bought two bottles to take home. ******Several of the wines are Wisconsin State Fair Award winning - I asked more about the process and many of the over 60 wineries around southeastern Wisconsin submit wines to the state fair tasting, so the fact these guys are winning year after year in most cases is impressive!******* The wines I enjoyed especially: Lemon, Lime, White Cranberry, Wildflower White, Phantom Princess, Lone Buck Red and Firefly (surprised I liked those last two, since, you know, reds.) WINE SLUSHIES - there were two wine slushy options while I was there - Winter Apple and Pomegranate Cranberry - I preferred the Winter Apple but only because I like cinnamon.) BYOS: Bring your own snacks people! They don't have kitchen for commercial use, but they welcome the idea of you bringing a Yogi-bear-style picnic basket filled with your heart's desires. We went "classy" with cheese, sausage and crackers (the fancy kind). I live in downtown Waukesha and decided to take an Uber there - it was only about 15 minutes away, technically in Mukwonago out in a more rural area that includes a lot of nearby barns. You can possibly get turned around, but they do have a giant "open" flag and sandwich-board style sign to confirm you're at the right place. Plenty of parking at the bottom of the hill, but it does fill up fast! I saw a huge range of people while I was there - young couples on dates, girls day out, older families visiting and even a bachelorette party was there on a Saturday. NOTE: They are only open Friday, Saturday and Sunday from 1 p.m. to 5 p.m. - so get your day drink on. read more

Great place for a casual afternoon of wine tasting or as part of a party! This is tucked away in Mukwonago, so it's a bit of a drive if you're coming from Milwaukee like me. When we arrived around 1pm, I was shocked to see there was already a full parking lot. This is a family owned business, and from the looks of it, the tasting room is in the basement of the family home. The tasting room includes about 4 tasting stations, a small sitting area, and a gift shop. There are also additional tables outside that overlook the secluded land. I came here as part of a bachelorette party, so we had a tasting time already reserved, but I'm sure walk-ins are also welcome. The tasting was $10/person which included 5 tasting pours and a glass to take home. Our party had our own tasting table with a personal wine pourer. Brian was very attentive and did well at entertaining a large group of girls. The wine choices are extensive, but I prefer reds so I mostly stuck with those. My favorite was the River Road Red, but the group favorite was the Firefly. In addition to the regular reds and whites, there's tons of "porch wines" to choose from, which are the fruity wines. I didn't have any of these, but they were a big hit with the rest of the group. After our tasting we headed outside with a few bottles and sat under one of the pavilions outside. There are 2 pavilions that can be reserved for parties. They overlook the lawn and the "vineyards". I say "vineyards" because there are maybe like 10 short rows of grapes that look like they were planted yesterday. Clearly they outsource for their grapes! Bringing food is encouraged so we had a nice array of cheeses, crackers, and nuts. Overall, great place with some decent wine. I would definitely come back! read more

Was 4:44 and they wouldn't open our bottle to enjoy one glass of wine on the porch after spending $70 because last call is 4:45. Drove 40 minutes to be there. Will not be coming here again. Poor service. read more

Such a treat to have found this little gem in Mukwonago. Family operated business and when you arrive you feel like one of the family. Everyone is so welcoming and friendly. The wine tasting is so fun and including a large variety of wines to try for everyone. Delicious fruit wines, white and red wines, and a wonderful gift shop. Bring snacks, a group of friends, and hang out on the patio! It's an amazing way to spend the afternoon. read more

We needed to use the restroom when we first arrived. The women's door was locked, so my girl came into the men's restroom with me. It's a single room restroom, not like stalls and stuff. We were talking and laughing about how good the soap smelled. This guy barges in, looks around, and then leaves shutting the door. We exit and it turns out he is an employee that does the wine tastings. We are like wtf. We are about to do a tasting with this weirdo until we learn that our 18lb dog can't even be let out of the car if we drink onsite outside. The place is not pet friendly at all. We left. What a joke. Go to Cedar Creek Winery instead. Way better! read more

A great place to bring a picnic lunch and enjoy a great bottle wine with friends. Great owners and very knowledgeable about their products.

We visit this winery very often and each time we have a great time. Todd & Kathy are great! We pack our bag with snacks and sit for hours enjoying the great scenery and wine. read more

Great place to spend an afternoon with loved ones. Good vibes.

Beautiful location. It is pretty new. The gazebo we sat in had really soft earth and I almost fell over, chair sunk in. Lol. Recent hard rain... please fix. Having wood chips is NOT an adequate base. Put in some pavers. Awesome wine. I repeat, AWESOME wine! Unfortunately no food or music. Fortunately, you can bring your own food. Moving from St Louis MO, I really miss all the wineries that were so close by. But this place is really good! Did I mention... great wine! read more

What a fun place to hang out and have some delicious wine! Staff is very friendly and the wine slushy is amazing! Great ambiance

A perfect discovery right here in Wisconsin! After many trips to wineries in the west coast, this is by far my favorite Wisconsin winery and most similar to our favorite CA wineries. We love the outdoor beauty and setting. Staff is knowledgeable and friendly. Bring your own picnic, and buy some wine for a perfect afternoon day or date. They have many wines to choose from! read more

The wine is wonderful and the whole bring your own snacks concept is super great. The scenery is amazing and is a must for anyone looking for a relaxing day. read more

WE had a wonderful time, plan on going back this year, hope they're opening soon! Celebrated a b-day in the gazebo sooooo cool! And the wine is some of the best. Can't agree with the last post, this is the best in lake country!!! read more
