You can mix and match any drink instead of needing to stick to one category. You can get one wine, one beer, etc. On your flight in any combination. You also get a souvenir glass when you do the flight. The service was friendly, but a little slow and scattered. This is definitely worth a stop if you're in the area.

Nothing medieval about this winery, however as it delivers a whole range of choices along the flavor profile from light to complex and spicey. We make it a point to stop in every time we drive across country and buy a case of various favorites. Good cheese samplers, great mead flight, snack mixes, and conversation with the proprietor made this once again a highlight of our trip. Lucky those who live in the area and can stop by whenever they need mead refills!

These folks really know how to make mead! They have been in business since 1996, and it shows. We…read moretasted 3 meads, 2 ciders, an ice cider and a liquor spirit. We especially liked the Northern Highlands Dry, the peach Kwench session mead, and the black mead. I really liked that they had session mead options, which had about half the alcohol. We enjoyed the lively garden and cute patio. Very glad we stopped, a meadery is such a treat. They must be doing something right, because the place was packed on a Thursday. We have tried so many other meads that were way too sweet and not even in the realm of White Winter. Definitely recommend!

I enthusiastically change my rating from three stars to five!…read more I visited Tamarack Farms with my family during our recent trip to Hayward and wow is this spot much improved from when I visited six years ago. Some things that stood out: * The farm pizza! This was delicious. We tried a couple including pepperoni and mac and cheese pizza. The crust was excellent as was the toppings. I was also impressed by how well the mac and cheese stayed on top of the pizza. The kids loved it too! * The brisket! My husband's aunt and uncle recommended this, and they weren't wrong. It was so tender. Just perfection! * The cornbread! If you ever had Famous Dave's cornbread, this is very similar, and for good reason. "Famous Dave" Dave Anderson owns Tamarack Farms. * The wine slushies! On a warm day, these hit the spot. It also feels like this restaurant has refined its approach. This includes the decor, the menu and how the restaurant is run. Where before we had to wait a while for our food, this time around everything seemed to run like a well oiled machine. Tamarack Farms also includes a fun selection of wine, so you could take some bottles home with you. The building is open and airy, with large garage doors. It's just a fun place all around. I hope it becomes a tradition that we come here whenever we're in the Northwoods.
