What Travellers Say
Reviews Summary
Harbor Ridge Winery is a highly-rated destination in Door County, praised for its excellent Wisconsin-made wines, knowledgeable staff, and relaxed, rustic ambiance. Visitors particularly love the opportunity to pair wines with cheeses from the adjacent shop and enjoy live music on weekends. While the port-a-potty bathroom is a minor drawback for some, the overall experience is overwhelmingly positive, making it a top recommendation for wine tasting.
"We when in an adventure up Door County tasting wines and this was the place that got us to buy some to take home. The lady helping us was very knowledgeable and made it really easy to pick out a flight. It was refreshing to get a sampling where everything was something we liked. She then told us to run over to the cheese shop and pick so thing out so we can sit in the in between and enjoy. By the time we got the cheese the flight was all poured and ready for us to grab. In the end we came home with some Hula Girl Cider Raspberry Pineapple and a Cherry Crush. When you are in cherry country you gotta get the cherries.
This would be the place I would take people to first as it was the best experience we had on our tasting tour."

"Laid back and relaxing spot. Very nice music. Awesome wine and one can grab from a variety of cheeses next door. Fabulous place to hang out and visit with friends. We were pleasantly surprised at their cozy upstairs loft to gather and listen to music. Definitely recommend!"

"Ambiance: 9.5/10
Wines: 10/10
Service: 10/10
More of your rustic, cabin type feel of a wine bar. Your bathroom is a port-a-potty and it’s fairly limited outdoor seating which is why I took 1/2 a point of for ambiance! The wines are phenomenal and the service here is even better. It was our last winery for the day and we are definitely going to go back."
