Lautenbach’s Orchard Country Winery and Market, Door County, Wisconsin
Yesterday, my mom and I drove to Door County (the Hamptons of Wisconsin), where tiny towns chock-full of cafes and boutiques stretch for 70 miles along Lake Michigan. We were lucky to grow up just an hour away, and spent summer days there camping or beaching. On this day trip, our first stop was the Lautenbach Orchard and Winery, with 100 acres of grapes, apples, and cherries. We took the $3 vineyard tour, which included six tastings and a commemorative wine glass. Can’t beat that!
The estate has been in the family for four generations, and each fifth generation grandchild has a wine named for him or her. How cool is that? The Lauren Elizabeth was my favorite—crisp and a little tart.
