This very quaint winery just outside of Kohler,was a gem of a find. The bartender that was there was fabulous. He was funny and very personable. I ordered the chicken tenders and the person with me ordered the brie platter. Both were amazing. My chicken tenders were some of the best I've ever had. I don't know what they used in the breading, but it was excellent. I tried a tasting of the sweet wines and love the blackberry wine and the peach Chardonnay. They also have outdoor seating. We did sit inside, if you're up in that area definitely go check it out. read more

The Blind Horse is a lovely property with wine tasting, a restaurant and a new bourbon bar. We started the afternoon with wine and Easter chocolate pairing. Both the wine and the chocolates were very nice. We wound up buying a bottle of the Tuscan reserve to take home with some of the chocolates we couldn't finish. After a rest we came back for dinner at the Granary Bourbon bar. We were warmly welcomed. We liked the casual vibe and surprisingly it was not too loud. We started with a flight of old fashioned cocktails. We tried vanilla bean, honeycomb, and our favorite the cinnamon appke. For dinner we both had the Friday perch fry. The perch itself was very good with a nice panko coating. The fries were good too but they could have been warmer. Our server was very attentive and friendly. They were definitely on the game. Can't wait to return! read more

The non-vintage Tuscan blend is still approaching peak in late 2022. Crisp acidity, mild tannins, pronounced cherry and spice notes (nutmeg, cinnamon and vanilla). 93 points It may not be the hit out of the ballpark that the Zinfandel Reserve is, but pretty darn good. read more

Another year and another wine tasting adventure at Blind Horse Winery. Every time I am in town visiting my Brother-In-Law, who is in the Blind Horse Wine club, we make sure to visit this winery so we can sample their latest vintages which is always one of my highlites of my annual trip to Wisconsin. The wines made at this small winery are definately superior to all the other wineries I have visited in this state where you can stack up these wines with the "good" stuff you get out of the west cost. The annual volume of this winery is on the order of 5K cases a year I believe where the quality is quite good. The thing I like about this operation and which separates them from the other Wisconsin local wineries is that they get the grapes (not the crushed juice) from various vineyards out west, mostly from California, where their winemaker is able to control all aspects of the wine making process to include the pressing of the grapes, how long the skins are in contact with the juice, the fermentation process, alcohol levels, time in barrel and types of barrels all the way to wine in bottle available for sale to the customer. This process along with their knowledgeable winemaker leads to some very good wines that even a wine snob like me can appreciate! Truly a quality operation that offers a quality product at the end of the day! If you are in this area and enjoy good wine than this is a must see business. Wine tasting is 5 pours of the wine of your choice (15 different bottles available for tasting on the day of our visit) for only $8 which is a bargain in my book. Also if you have time you should check out their restaurant as well as I am told the food is quite good and goes so well with their wines!! Truly a experience that should not be missed. read more

Really nice wines. Their Chardonnay reserve had a buttery finish which is more difficult to find - it was lovely. Enjoyed all the wines I tried. And the service was excellent. read more

Had the most amazing experience food was delicious and so was the wine service was excellent

If you're looking for a nice relaxing time this a is great winery to get that and more. The wide selection of wine meets everyone's palette. Mary was wonderful, very knowledgeable and friendly. We are looking forward to coming back this summer to enjoy the outdoor patio and the Bourbon tasting room. Easy ride from Milwaukee with plenty of parking. Make sure you have room to take wine home because you will want to! read more

We were blown away by our experience at the winery. Jacob was so helpful. He explained all the wines, told us the history of the property, took photos for us and made our evening an absolute delight. We loved the decor. They offer wine by the glass, bottle, flight (3) or tasting (5). We can't wait to come back in the summer. They have a ton of fun events planned. read more

The wines are okay, but not worth the price. Decent food offerings. We go for the events. Nice space for good music.

This isn't for the winery. It's for the bourbon bar. It's 530pm. We were hanging out with the nicest staff from the winery and thought we could go to the bourbon bar across the way (50 yards or less) since we are all in the Same vicinity, my mom had a glass of wine she half chugged. We walked in to the bourbon bar and my mom maybe had 3 sips left , an employee with long black braids says we can't have that in here, we apologized and my mom drank it. I said we didn't know we couldn't have the wine she (didn't even give us a chance before she continued to yell at me where everyone in the bar could hear) here we were about to order more blind horse wine. She was telling the other bartenders I can't deal with this chick, I'm going to call the manager. I said I would talk to the manager. Manager never came. Given the disrespect to patrons or all 6 of us dealt with, we left. This bourbon bar is part of blind horse winery and maybe 50 yards from the winery. Heaven forbid you unknowingly bring in blind horse wine only to plan to order blind horse wine at this bourbon bar. We won't go back though. read more

It was a cold wet Wisconsin Sunday when we hiked from the Inn at Woodlake to the Winery. Molly greeted us warmly. We chatted amicably and got to learn more about Kohler and about the special events at the winery. My husband had three half glasses while I had a sampling of five.And we ordered the most amazing cheese plate I have ever had in my life! It had three different cheeses in cubes, cashews and dried cranberries.The Bleu Cheese was given a drizzle of honey which brought out the flavors.Molly took it upon herself to try to get us a ride back to the Inn by calling different transport services on our behalf, but in the end, unwilling to pay $65 to travel less than two miles, we walked back. It was a nice enough walk leading us back to the shops at Woodlake. read more

Jacob is so helpful and knowledgeable! We had a wonderful time and definitely recommend doing a tasting!

A-OK is a good way for me to describe my experience. By all means, it was nice and I'd go back in a heartbeat. But nothing about the experience really stood out. They offer wine by the glass, wine tastings, wine + cheese tastings, and wine + chocolate tastings. Something for everyone! The bartender was friendly. She did a great job telling us about the wine and some of the history of the place. Wine was tasty. Nice place - just nothing stood out that really wow'd me. read more

If you are in the area and looking for a nice patio to have a glass of wine and lunch you are in luck! We have been here a few times and love it! The wine is pretty good but, to be honest, we are not well versed in wine. I enjoyed the Pinot Grigio although it was a little sweeter than most. They have a nice looking indoor space as well but we always are lucky to have nice weather. They had a food truck festival this weekend that was incredible! Great music and food! Will definitely be back. read more

The Blind Horse Winery - Wine Tasting Room Near Me - Kohler, Wisconsin

We had a great time at Blind horse Winery. Looking for a place for my wife and I to grab a drink while on vacation. The patio is only open on weekends starting around 4, but since we visited on a Tuesday we were allowed to sit in the patio space but grab tastings from the winery. The space is perfect and exceptionally landscaped. The wine was good but the ambiance was everything we wanted. They helped us get a reservation at the restaurant on-site and all the food was good. This place hit the spot for friendly service and obviously wanted us to enjoy our time. We certainly appreciated it. read more

Let me start by saying if I was only reviewing the QUALITY of the wine, food, and atmosphere of the Blind Horse Winery, I would be giving it 5 stars! The Winery, especially the outdoor Patio in the summer months, is a favorite destination for my wife and I. The 2 stars is for our most recent experience. It was a beautiful, warm summer evening on the patio, with live music on the main stage. 2 menus were placed on our table. At a glance, the menus appeared to have mostly the same items with some differences in the food. We were at the Winery a couple of months earlier and had a flight of red wines, with one of the wines being a stand out for us. I looked for that wine on the menu, found it, and noticed the price of $24 - a good value, in our opinion. My wife and I ordered a bottle of that wine along with some food (yummy!) while we enjoyed the musician and great weather. When the bill came, the cost of that bottle was $39. When I asked for clarification, I was told the $39 price was the "patio price" and $24 was the "store price". Sure enough, one one of the menus placed on our table, the cost was $24 and on the other menu, $39. My fault for not studying the 2 menus and asking for clarification before ordering? Really?!? A $15 upcharge for a bottle served by the waitstaff on the patio opposed to the staff served inside the winery? I may be wrong, but I think I would have been allowed to buy the the wine inside (for $24), have the bartender open the wine for me, give me a couple glasses, and we could have seated ourselves on the patio to enjoy the wine. The waitstaff on the patio did not add $15 of value to the experience. While I think a $15 upcharge is absurd, it's the owner's right do what he wants with his establishment. His patrons will vote with their wallets if they're dissatisfied. I would (and will) be one of those patrons... now that I know a $24 bottle of wine is really $39 - I'll go somewhere else. I just think it's bad form to place 2 different menus with conflicting prices on a patron's table. I'll come back if/when that practice is changed. read more

Not expecting to find a Napa style tasting room in Wisconsin. The property is beautiful, the wines were great and the service was outstanding. We will make this a stop when we are in the area!!! Thanks Crystal for your warm hospitality! read more

Sorry to say, I never enjoy giving a poor review but my wife and I were more than underwhelmed with the Blind Horse Winery. The service was awful, sorry folks. The person that greeted us said he would be right back and we waited 10 minutes never to return. We moved to the bar where we waited another 10 minutes to be asked if we wanted anything. Of course we wanted something!!! The bartenders were not particularly friendly to say the least. We almost left but decided to try a flight and the wine was highly unimpressive... all tasted watered down. Terribly disappointing. Charming atmosphere but have a loooooonnnnnggg way to go to be any semblance of a winery destination. read more

We like to check out wineries when we travel. Cool place, nothing outstanding. Tasting was $6 for 6. We were there on a Tuesday afternoon, didn't get to sit on the patio. read more
