Von Stiehl Winery - Algoma, Wisconsin

Algoma's annual Shanty Days festival is a "Celebration of the Lake". Since Algoma sits on the shores of Lake Michigan, we have good reason to celebrate. Thanks to the lake we have fish, beaches, and huge stretches of water on which to boat. The lake keeps us cool in the summer and gives us something beautiful to look at in the winter.

Shanty Days 2011 takes place August 12 - 14. Highlights include:

• Parade (Saturday at noon)

• Fireworks (Sunday at dusk)

• Street Fair (Saturday and Sunday)

• Arts & Craft Show (Saturday and Sunday)

• Lots of live music

There's also a 5K walk/run (Saturday morning), and an area "Just for Kids". Shanty Days wouldn't be Shanty Days without the Fishing Contest, held Thursday through Sunday. Call 920.883.9792 for more information.

We hope you'll take this opportunity to stop by our Algoma, Wisconsin Winery. We pour all of our wines in the Tasting Room, and guests are welcome to enjoy purchased bottles of wine on our terrace.

Our Cuisine Concert Series on August 13 will feature The Modern Day Drifters, a Door County band known for its genre-crossing style and super fun music. Drop by any time between 1 p.m. and 5 p.m. for music, food, and delicious Wisconsin Wine.

Additional information about Shanty Days is available at the Algoma Chamber of Commerce.

A heartfelt shout of thanks to everyone who attended the 2010 Wet Whistle Wine Fest at our Algoma Wisconsin Winery this past weekend. We hope everyone who came had as much fun as we did.

Grape Stomps brought out the best in all who participated. Flights of wine and cheese and wine and chocolate were thoroughly enjoyed on our new terrace. The enthusiasm of some of our fans delighted us, as always.

Below are a few photos from this past weekend. More are available on our facebook page. Grab a glass of our Wisconsin wine, sit back, and relive the weekend.

Yes, it's that time again. Our Wisconsin Winery is hosting the 2010 Wet Whistle Wine Fest on September 18th and 19th.

You never know who you'll see.

Doors open at 10am (it's after noon somewhere, right?) and stay open until 6pm. That means 8 hours each day are devoted to Wisconsin wine tastings, wine and cheese pairings, and wine and chocolate. No Wet Whistle is complete without Grape Stomps, a time for wine enthusiasts to experience grapes in a new way - with their feet.

You never know what you'll see.

Spend time at the Fine Art Show, the Heritage Food Tents, and listening to live music. Celebrate the Wisconsin Wine you have come to know and love. For more details, please visit our Events page.
