Maiden Rock Winery& Cidery – Stockholm, WI

Herdie Baisden of Maiden Rock Winery & Cidery is often asked how he got into making these products, and his usual answer is that it started as a hobby. This is partly true, in that he started as a homebrewer with the purchase of a wine starter kit around 2002. Several years before then, however, Herdie and his wife Carol Wiersma had purchased an 80-acre farm outside the village of Stockholm, Wisconsin, to establish an apple orchard. The apple varieties they planted included a number that are more often grown in southwestern England and were suitable for the production of hard cider and wine. So, from the beginning of their farming venture, Herdie and Carol planned to produce products made from fermented apple juice as well as fresh fruit, preserves, and baked goods.

Villa Bellezza Winery – Pepin, WI

The winery name – Bellezza, the Italian word for beauty – is inspired by our area’s stunning river bluffs and sparkling Lake Pepin views. Building materials and colors were taken from the landscape in order to create a space that would live in harmony with its surroundings. The architectural style is inspired by century old villas of southern Europe, with several stucco and stone buildings surrounding a central piazza.
