Wisconsin Wine, Cider & Spirits Tastings | von Stiehl Algoma
Welcome to von Stiehl, your ultimate destination for premium Wisconsin wine, cider, and spirits. Located on the beautiful Algoma waterfront, our family-owned winery, distillery and cidery brings together old-world heritage and local craft production. Whether you are exploring the region or planning a dedicated tasting trip to Door County, we invite you to sample our diverse portfolio and tour our historic 1800s cellars.
Wines
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
Our Door County Distillery spirits capture the flavor of early America, combining an innovative hybrid pot still design with local Wisconsin ingredients. Meticulously distilled using a state-of-the-art, steam-fired system, everything is fermented, cut, and bottled onsite right here in Algoma.
From our premium four and six-year-old high-rye Bourbons and classic Rye Whiskeys aged in American white oak, to smooth, multi-distilled top-shelf Vodka and local botanical Gin, we craft a spirit for every palate. We also distill unique regional flavors of the peninsula, including our smooth Apple Brandy, traditional Grappa, and our signature Sweet Cherry Whiskey made with famous Door County Montmorency cherries.
Stop into our Cider & Spirits Bar to experience them for yourself in a guided spirit flight or custom house cocktail!
