Wines & Ciders
Wine
Enjoy wines made from Door County Cherries and local grapes from Door County’s first vineyard, von Stiehl Vineyard, Stony Creek. Grapes are also sourced from the other grape regions around the United States, including Napa Valley, Sierra Foothills, Yakima Valley, Clarksburg, and other West Coast growing regions. Our popular Crimson Royale is created using concord grapes from New York State. While you are at the winery, try premier wines like Cabernet Sauvignon, or our brandy fortified Cherry Bounce. Experience popular Naughty Girl or taste the crisp, lively Door County estate-grown Stony Creek Rosé. We have over 40 wine varietals for customers to sample and purchase while visiting von Stiehl Winery. Stop in and find your new favorite wine.
Ciders
Pressing apples isn’t a new procedure for the winery. This job dates back to the 1960s when the first von Stiehl apple wine was released. While the job is messy, the taste of wine from fresh apple juice is unbeatable. The apples used to create our hard ciders are from Wisconsin orchards.
The oldest part of our business is now the newest! New releases of bottled varieties include Hard Cherry Cider, Hard Apple Cider, Guava Hopped Session Cider, Imperial Bourbon-Barrel Aged Hard Cider, and Imperial Tequila-Barrel Aged Hard Cider. Draft ciders include these five, with changing taste-test offerings that rotate every 45 -60 days. So, be sure to stay up-to-date with what’s on tap at our Cider Bar.
Spirits
While awaiting the arrival of our new copper still, we have been working with two Wisconsin rectifiers to distill our wines into brandy. You see, a winery can age, but cannot sell spirits.
We now offer five spirits in our Cider and Spirits Bar: Bourbon and Rye Whiskey, Cherry and Apple Brandy, and Grappa. Purchase them to go, try them in a flight, or taste them in one of our new cocktails.
Bounce
Door County Cherries are not only delicious to eat but also great to ferment. Von Stiehl Cherry Bounce was created to pay homage to our local traditions and in honor of Doc. Stiehl.
What is bounce? It is traditionally a concentration of booze, sugar, cherries, and lots of time. While our version isn’t as traditional as our grandparents’ recipe, von Stiehl bounce is legal to sell.
We currently have two bounce varieties, featuring our Cherry Bounce and 36-Month Aged Cherry Bounce.
