We just visited Stone's Throw and had a great experience! 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! read more

Our favorite Door County Winery, great staff and stop into Vino Vino , the food is excellent!

This is a great winery that happens to be in Door County. However, it is NOT a 'Door County winery'! Don't come here if you're hopping from winery to winery (you will be sorely disappointed when faced with real wine). If you've never heard of vitis vinifera, this winery is NOT for you. It IS, however, for those who appreciate fine wines (as opposed to the alcoholic fruit beverages served at most Wisconsin wineries). Stone's Throw appears to be one of only three Wisconsin wineries producing truly fine wines (along with Blind Horse Winery in Kohler and Von Stiehl Winery in Algoma). Yes, the atmosphere is pretentious. But that pairs well with their fine Zinfandel. I was so impressed, I joined their wine club. Cheers! I will work on getting them to provide palate cleansing crackers and water with their tastings, but the lack thereof is a minor weakness. read more

This was a tricky review to write because we so wanted to love this place! The food and wine were both delicious, though we did wait probably an hour to get our food. Once we did eat it, we liked everything! Our main complaint was that we felt like the staff was annoyed that we were there. We came in with a reservation for 7 people and when we told the hostess they said "seven?" with a bit of a tone. We were met with several eye rolls throughout our experience, like when we asked for an extra plate, napkin, fork, and our bill (they did not bring enough for our whole party). There was nice live music being played and it's beautiful outside. There was a nail sticking out of the table and we mentioned it and they just said "okay" with no apology or solution which I also thought was odd. The stools were also pretty high up for the table, so we could not fit our legs underneath. I think our server was very stressed because it seemed to be fairly understaffed and I think that dipped into the level of service. Management or ownership definitely needs to find more staff or step in as servers, because it seemed like 3 servers were responsible for the entire place. I wouldn't be back, but I could guess the service would be better if they had more staff, which I know can be tricky toward the end of summer. It's a beautiful place in a great location, they just could use more staff so they are not so overwhelmed. read more

We had so much fun here! Stopped on our wine/birthday tour. Loved the actual wine glass getting filled up rather than plastic cups like so many other places. Dan was great - super helpful and gave us recommendations for other wineries in the area. Definitely will be back! The Angelique was definitely the group favorite. read more

Stone's Throw was such a fun stop on our winery tour. We were a bit confused on where to go at first, but once we made our way into the cave like room we knew we were in the right place. This winery differed greatly from the other ones we went to. By this I mean they didn't have those sweet fruity cotton candy flavored wines. They actually use california grapes. We loves the wine tasting here. Everyone in our group have different types of wine they like and we each found something here. This was actually the only place we bought wine from. read more

Came here on a rainy day and had such a nice experience! The place was surprisingly busy for a Monday afternoon. Our sever was very nice. The space did cause voices to echo, so if there's a big group, expect it to be a little noisy! Wine was great and the food was too, specifically their minestrone soup! Would go back for that alone! read more

Girls weekend winery stop the last Saturday in September and my first time experiencing a tasting at a winery. We found standing room along one edge of the tasting room bar as a trio vacated. Otherwise, it was questionable how we would have fit. Physically, and with our schedule imitations. I wonder if a couple of tables worth of service could be added - there was room. Standing for an hour or so is the potential downside here. Depending on my physical status at times I would not be able to do this so that is a potential drawback I considered deducting a star for. Accessibility improvement could be done. The gentleman who served us was a very clear communicator, very timely with the pours, educated on the products. Descriptions and pricing easy to understand. I left with a bottle of Angelique as did one of my port loving friends. Other bottles were purchased as well and service and check out was superb. We were not able to partake of the picnic tables and hang out due to a dinner reservation. I would spend more time here on the next visit. A lovely setting overall. Stones Throw is worthy of your consideration. read more

What a beautiful venue. Food is delicious we start with the roasted duck, as our appetizer, is a must to try. The quality of the wine is on point. Service is excellent- thank you, Russell. You are the BEST! Ambiance is great. Time to relax and have a wonderful time with your love ones. Thank you for the great memories. Highly recommended. Pics is provided below read more

My husband and I went to Stone's Throw Winery for an afternoon wine tasting and we had a fun time. The tasting was great; we enjoyed each of the 5 wines we sampled. My favorite was Malvasia Bianca and his favorite was La Secreta. We ended up leaving with two wine glasses and 4 bottles of wine! The service was also great; the staff members are very friendly, personable, and knowledgeable. I was surprised at how large the outdoor space is! It would be an amazing event space for a party. The outdoor grounds also include an area for Bocce ball! My only complaint is I wish they offered seating in the tasting room. We stood for about an hour or so, but after the tasting, we sat outside and enjoyed some more wine. read more

Hands down the best winery in Door County! The wine quality is unmatched. Staff are knowledgeable & attentive. My favorite of all was Uncle Gino's-it will go with everything! We ate lunch here as well, the food was fresh but service was slow due to being short staffed. Was a lovely afternoon of sipping & eating. Add this to your must stop list! read more

Wine tasting in a beautiful venue . The tasting allows you to try a wide variety of wines. We each picked our favorite and took bottles home. The staff was very knowledgeable and offered help and advice on picking our favorites . One of the bottles we enjoyed while watching the fireworks in Ephraim. read more

Staff were very rude and acted as if we were annoying them by existing. We started to ask a question about wine and the waitress/hostess rudely cut us off and told us "we don't have flights". Without knowing what our question was. We got up and left without ordering. read more

We visited Stone's Throw Winery a warm, partly sunny June day, and we really enjoyed our tapas. Stone's Throw's setting is beautiful, with lovely flowers and comfortable indoor and outdoor seating. It wasn't very busy at midday on a Monday, and our service was attentive and prompt. We enjoyed the antipasti (charcuterie), bruschetta treo, and shrimp diablo tapas. The mustardo on the charcuterie was delicious (as was everything else); this was the first I'd had this kind of mustard spread for charcuterie. I look forward to returning in the future! read more

We've been to Stone's Throw Winery before and have really enjoyed the wine -- in fact, we've previously purchased cases. That's why it was especially disappointing to be treated the way we were during our recent visit. My wife, brother, and sister-in-law stopped in hoping to do a tasting, but were consistently ignored. Staff walked by us multiple times to help other groups who had just walked in, without acknowledging us or even asking if we needed anything. It felt like we were invisible. After waiting patiently and being overlooked again and again, we finally left -- without doing a tasting and without purchasing anything. We were excited to return and support a place we've enjoyed in the past, but after this experience, it's hard to justify coming back. read more

This was a very nice and simple winery. Nice selection of wines and great things to snack on. The ambience is superb.

Not all wineries are created equal. It seems like every tourist area (& plain ole suburb) has a cough syrup cranking establishment at $15 bottle & people eat it up. Still, I'm determined to check the local offerings. Per reviews, these guys cater to old people (cool, I'm no spring chicken) & tend to favor people who "might" buy... (again, that's me) PLUS they don't serve syrupy-sweet drinks, sticking with imported grapes from Cali & traditional processes, keeping to dry wines... count me in, we have a winner! We peeked at the products before wandering towards the bar top, where we (& everyone else) were greeted immediately and offered a tasting menu to pick 5 pours. We were given a brief overview and pens. Jim was fantastic & treated EVERYONE equally. We made our selections, sadly the malbec isn't going to be ready til 15 July - so, we had to change the game plan. We each picked 5 for 10 total. Then shared our tastes... then added 5 more, cuz the owner came in talking about his recommendations & you can't argue the owner's suggestions. We left with a bakers dozen of peppery goodness. Then stopped to get a glass for the road & try the duck & meatballs. Can not speak highly enough of either. Service was also on point. While nothing was disappointing, the real surprises were the Merlot (not usually a fan) & the Rose (another one I typically avoid) - tho I must admit I was a barrel deep by this point & will revisit when I pop the corks sober... (I once bought a jalepeno apple wine after several other tastes, 100% sure it would make great chili. It did not.) These were certainly higher in price than the spots catering to the sweet-lovers, but the price point reflected the selection well. read more

We loved this place! The ambiance was nice. We were greeted with a friendly smile from who we assumed was the owner. We ordered a meat and cheese tray for an appetizer which was good as well. However, I gave three stars due to our service. Our waitress seemed to give our table poor service for some reason. We tried to be very friendly to her because we understand how important it is. We asked to sample a few wines because it was our first time at this place and didn't want to do the wine tasting first because we needed food in our stomach. She seemed very annoyed at the ask. We also had no explanation to how the wine menu was listed. She never asked us if we had any questions about the menu. But she did ask and explain to another table in full detail. This is why we felt singled out from her. She was extremely fake towards us. Each one of us felt her vibe. Anyway, we continued to support her, assuming she was stressed. We wanted to stay but due to her lack of communication skills, we left. Beautiful place but not good service from our end. read more

The place was very nice the staff was very friendly. The food was good but the price was a little high. We ate and drank at a nice table. Then we went to the wine tasting room where they had an offering for buying wine glasses for 9.00 each when we did the tasting. We assumed they were the ones which were inscribed with the winery name. But there are the same plan wine glasses we already have and can be bought anywhere. Disappointed! Unfortunately our conclusion, is that It's all about the money!! We paid a lot of money for Stones's Throw Winery glasses only to find that they were regular glasses. Very disappointing!!! read more

What a delicious a wonderful place! Can't believe the neg reviews, was hands down best winery here. These are not the sweet fruit wines but quality CA grapes and Dan was so attentive and fun and educational. We will be back yearly!! read more

I'm glad I made the stop here at this winery. I really enjoyed my tasting and walked away with a few bottles to go. They have wine for essentially everyone's pallet to try and enjoy. Sharon made me Feel welcome from the moment I stepped inside. read more

Neat setting kind of out in the middle of the peninsula. Nice outdoor seating and space. Indoor space was also very nice. We went there for a glass versus a tasting and service was very good. Not the cheapest pour but very good wine selection. read more

Will not be back, very snobbish people, do not need to go through a place and drop a lot of money to be treated like crap

Always a great visit and friendly, knowledgeable staff. A must stop for a tasting of great wines with grapes from California. read more

A beautiful setting and a really nice modern building gave us a very good first impression which was quickly dampened by their bizarre rule that you cannot split a tasting. We have done wine tastings in California, New York's Finger Lakes and in Europe and have never come across this policy. Very off-putting. By the way the place was empty so it is not like we were taking up valuable room. We punted and went next store to their wine bar and got a glass of wine. The prices are not cheap but then again it is Door County. The service was fine as were the wines we tried. Bottom line is that we bought three glasses of wine - if we were allowed to do a split tasting perhaps we would have bought a couple of bottles instead! Inflexible customer service can cost you business. read more

Pretentious. Overpriced. Unwelcoming. Just a few words that come to mind when I reflect on my recent experience. It's disappointing, honestly, because the outside patio looks beautiful and it made me excited to visit. But when we walked into the tasting room, it was full, and nobody greeted us or told us what to do (luckily our friends had already visited previously). Another reviewer mentioned they were unable to split a tasting - how odd, because I just visited this past weekend and my friends and I paired up to split a couple tastings (which was $14 to try 6 wines, btw). So that goes to show there's definitely a variety in the standard of service customers are receiving. I agree with other people's reviews that the staff seems snooty, and I did get the feeling that they were ignoring us/rude to us because they assumed we wouldn't be buying any bottles because we were younger. Well, as soon as we hinted we were interested in purchasing some bottles, Michael (our server) poured us an extra tasting, free of charge. Shocker. The wine itself was fine, and fyi the majority of their wines tends to lean towards the drier side. But because of the service, I won't be coming back. read more

My wife and I went to hear the Birch Creek Jazz Ambassadors, great music is you get the chance to hear them. We cannot drink due to medical conditions. As a curtesy to Stone's Throw Winery, we brought chairs so as to not take seating capacity away from their drinking clientele, We were told our chairs were not welcome. Thus, I will now spread the word of Stone's Throw's inhospitable attitude. There other Door County Wineries, visit them and spend your $$ . read more

I enjoy everything about this establishment. We just did a private wine tasting in their new wine tasting room. Top shelf on the wine, the staff, the food, and the atmosphere. We'll be back every time we're in Door County. read more

10/10 yummmmmeeeeeeee It was a vibe, was in there for like 20-30. Wine was so yummy. Salute wine is vvvvvvv yum Bill ily , killer glasses and thanks for pouring our wine. Only thing that made me sad, nothing to cleanse me palette, I need sumfin but that's just me read more

Amazing wine, extremely knowledgeable staff, a beautiful outdoor patio, you can't have a bad time here. I suggest starting with a wine tasting (only $14 for 5 pours) then grabbing a seat outside. The wine is the best in Door County, but more importantly, it's just fantastic wine in general. read more

This review is solely based on the service, and not the wine itself. My husband and I spent the weekend in Door County for my birthday and drove by Stone's Throw. From outside its colorful and has a nice patio area so we pulled over. It was very busy. We made our way into the tasting room, and while everyone looked up and made eye contact, no one smiled or even bothered to say hello. We walked to an open spot at the bar and stood there for an awkward 3 minutes or so when an older man finally walked up and threw a menu in front of us. He didn't explain the tasting options just a brief overview of the wines offered (I.e our grapes are shipped in from California). He turned around and walked away. My husband and I just weren't feeling the vibe. We felt awkward and unwelcome so we left. I'm glad business for them is so good that they don't feel the need to be friendly to patrons. We gladly took our business elsewhere. read more

Excellent service. Well crafted wines with California grapes. Highly recommended especially if you like fine wine.

I love everything about this restaurant!! The food, wine, atmosphere and experience is wonderful

Location is nothing special, no sharing of wines during tasting, which is odd, wine grapes are all imported, many other wineries around to choose from that are much nicer! read more

I love coming here for wine tastings! All of the employees are very knowledgeable about the wines they produce. We ended up signing up for their wine club because we love their wines so much. Even if you're not a wino, you will appreciate the quality of their wines. read more

The best winery in Door County. The food in the wine are truly amazing. High quality all around.

My wife and I flew out to Milwaukee and drove to Door County with some friends. They raved on and on and on about Stones Throw. We came in around 1pm and we were immediately greeted by a lady who told us some things about the winery. We then proceeded to a tasting counter where a gentleman named Tom who give us a very thorough talking to about the several different wines. He then started us with the whites. Then the reds and then the dessert wines. As we were leaving we noticed the "pour your own bottle" and my wife did that with the red blend they were offering. We had a great time here and loved everything. read more
