Stone's Throw Winery

We have gone on multiple occasions and we always have top notch service and food! The wine is excellent! Russel is always so nice and accommodating. The atmosphere is unique with comfortable seating. We have done wine tasting and always gain new knowledge after our experience! If I could give more stars I would!

Fondue at the tapas bar was a joke! $39!!! The waitress said it came with generous portions and would feed 3 people easily If 10 tiny croutons of bread, 8 grapes and and 8 small chunks of apple is considered generous. Ordered peppers and salami. Same thing! Super small portions for the extra $5 each. The cheese fondue was good but also wouldn’t have been enough if you ordered a lot of extras to dip in it. We left hungry! Had to come home and make sandwich. Eat somewhere that gives you decent portions for your money.

While visiting friends in Wisconsin we had the pleasure of experiencing Stone Throw’s Winery. The atmosphere was stylishly luxurious. There are two separate rooms one for wine tasting and one for the “wine and dine” experience. I doubt you could go wrong with either but we chose the wine and dine. It is an adorable bar area with several tables. There is a gorgeous patio filled with greenery that we admired from the bar. Both the wine and food were incredible. The meatballs and bruschetta are a must try. The service team were personable and highly knowledgeable. 10/10 recommend if you are in the area.

We've been here 3 times now and get their wine sent to us every 4-6wks. Very good wine - best in Door County. Dan served us in the tasting room and he was great. Only complaint is it's not the best service outside. We've found it's a bit complicated where you can and can't sit even as members. I think they should just make the outdoor seating open to all without stipulations.

Josie was great in helping us. Antipasto was good, the meatballs really good with no bread. Due to needing to be gluten free they did a good job. Wine was good but quite expensive Nice outdoor seating. Had a good time. Would go back. Staff was very nice.

Wine tasting was fun! Mark was knowledgeable and attentive! Experience changed when we moved to vino and tapas bar. Waiting for food was extremely long! When we asked our waiter, who quoted some difficulty with our food order, for some compensation we got a response from Roger(manager? owner?) who basically ignored us and said "oh well". Roger, I was not looking for a freebie(!) I was just hoping for a little bit of extra attention and a sympathetic word. I saw you mingling with other patrons but no time for us. I do not think I will be visiting this place anytime soon!

Return visit after an absence of a few years to find the tasting area is as perfectly appointed as previously experienced for the enjoyment of the tapas menu and wine list. This is the place to end a day tour of the wineries of Door County or a family gathering with the wonder that taste and style is still found in a county known for cherry orchards and fish boils. A great place to reconnect with the meaning of adult.

The tasting room is always great with helpful staff. The Vino! Vino! service area is also enjoyable. My favorite wine is here- Angelique- as someone who likes a sweeter wine. My husband enjoys anything but a sweet wine and enjoyed a semi-dry red, the Malbec. We snacked on the Bruschetta Trio. It is overpriced, but I was hungry and enjoy bruschetta and had had it before! I was disappointed/surprised to see such a price jump on the Angelique bottled wine! Plus- the tapas bar was packed. The staff did a nice job with such a busy day! The tables/seating are tight. I'd rather sit a little right in order to be seated rather than have to wait longer for a bit more space!

Girls weekend winery stop the last Saturday in September and my first time experiencing a tasting at a winery. We found standing room along one edge of the tasting room bar as a trio vacated. Otherwise, it was questionable how we would have fit. Physically, and with our schedule imitations. I wonder if a couple of tables worth of service could be added - there was room. Standing for an hour or so is the potential downside here. Depending on my physical status at times I would not be able to do this so that is a potential drawback I considered deducting a star for. Accessibility improvement could be done. The gentleman who served us was a very clear communicator, very timely with the pours, educated on the products. Descriptions and pricing easy to understand. I left with a bottle of Angelique as did one of my port loving friends. Other bottles were purchased as well and service and check out was superb. We were not able to partake of the picnic tables and hang out due to a dinner reservation. I would spend more time here on the next visit. A lovely setting overall. Stones Throw is worthy of your consideration.

My husband and I went to Stone's Throw Winery for an afternoon wine tasting and we had a fun time. The tasting was great; we enjoyed each of the 5 wines we sampled. My favorite was Malvasia Bianca and his favorite was La Secreta. We ended up leaving with two wine glasses and 4 bottles of wine! The service was also great; the staff members are very friendly, personable, and knowledgeable. I was surprised at how large the outdoor space is! It would be an amazing event space for a party. The outdoor grounds also include an area for Bocce ball! My only complaint is I wish they offered seating in the tasting room. We stood for about an hour or so, but after the tasting, we sat outside and enjoyed some more wine.

Hands down the best winery in Door County! The wine quality is unmatched. Staff are knowledgeable & attentive. My favorite of all was Uncle Gino's-it will go with everything! We ate lunch here as well, the food was fresh but service was slow due to being short staffed. Was a lovely afternoon of sipping & eating. Add this to your must stop list!

Neat setting kind of out in the middle of the peninsula. Nice outdoor seating and space. Indoor space was also very nice. We went there for a glass versus a tasting and service was very good. Not the cheapest pour but very good wine selection.

The place was very nice the staff was very friendly. The food was good but the price was a little high. We ate and drank at a nice table. Then we went to the wine tasting room where they had an offering for buying wine glasses for 9.00 each when we did the tasting. We assumed they were the ones which were inscribed with the winery name. But there are the same plan wine glasses we already have and can be bought anywhere. Disappointed! Unfortunately our conclusion, is that It's all about the money!! We paid a lot of money for Stones's Throw Winery glasses only to find that they were regular glasses. Very disappointing!!!

I'm glad I made the stop here at this winery. I really enjoyed my tasting and walked away with a few bottles to go. They have wine for essentially everyone's pallet to try and enjoy. Sharon made me Feel welcome from the moment I stepped inside.

Best winery in Door county. Great wine. Great food. Great service. Property is beautiful. Tasting room quaint. Real wine. Not sugary cheap mass produced junk. The Napa of Door County.

Not all wineries are created equal. It seems like every tourist area (& plain ole suburb) has a cough syrup cranking establishment at $15 bottle & people eat it up. Still, I'm determined to check the local offerings. Per reviews, these guys cater to old people (cool, I'm no spring chicken) & tend to favor people who "might" buy... (again, that's me) PLUS they don't serve syrupy-sweet drinks, sticking with imported grapes from Cali & traditional processes, keeping to dry wines... count me in, we have a winner! We peeked at the products before wandering towards the bar top, where we (& everyone else) were greeted immediately and offered a tasting menu to pick 5 pours. We were given a brief overview and pens. Jim was fantastic & treated EVERYONE equally. We made our selections, sadly the malbec isn't going to be ready til 15 July - so, we had to change the game plan. We each picked 5 for 10 total. Then shared our tastes... then added 5 more, cuz the owner came in talking about his recommendations & you can't argue the owner's suggestions. We left with a bakers dozen of peppery goodness. Then stopped to get a glass for the road & try the duck & meatballs. Can not speak highly enough of either. Service was also on point. While nothing was disappointing, the real surprises were the Merlot (not usually a fan) & the Rose (another one I typically avoid) - tho I must admit I was a barrel deep by this point & will revisit when I pop the corks sober... (I once bought a jalepeno apple wine after several other tastes, 100% sure it would make great chili. It did not.) These were certainly higher in price than the spots catering to the sweet-lovers, but the price point reflected the selection well.

My wife and I went to hear the Birch Creek Jazz Ambassadors, great music is you get the chance to hear them. We cannot drink due to medical conditions. As a curtesy to Stone's Throw Winery, we brought chairs so as to not take seating capacity away from their drinking clientele, We were told our chairs were not welcome. Thus, I will now spread the word of Stone's Throw's inhospitable attitude. There other Door County Wineries, visit them and spend your $$ .

Always a great visit and friendly, knowledgeable staff. A must stop for a tasting of great wines with grapes from California.

I enjoy everything about this establishment. We just did a private wine tasting in their new wine tasting room. Top shelf on the wine, the staff, the food, and the atmosphere. We'll be back every time we're in Door County.

Best red wines in Door County. Always friendly staff. Food is a bit high end, not your normal Wisconsin fare, you will need to expand your palete.

I love everything about this restaurant!! The food, wine, atmosphere and experience is wonderful

10/10 yummmmmeeeeeeee It was a vibe, was in there for like 20-30. Wine was so yummy. Salute wine is vvvvvvv yum Bill ily , killer glasses and thanks for pouring our wine. Only thing that made me sad, nothing to cleanse me palette, I need sumfin but that's just me

Love the monthly wine club. Always seem friendly and willing to answer questions. Food Choices are decent and pair nicely with wine.

Amazing wine, extremely knowledgeable staff, a beautiful outdoor patio, you can't have a bad time here. I suggest starting with a wine tasting (only $14 for 5 pours) then grabbing a seat outside. The wine is the best in Door County, but more importantly, it's just fantastic wine in general.

The best winery in Door County. The food in the wine are truly amazing. High quality all around.

Pretentious. Overpriced. Unwelcoming. Just a few words that come to mind when I reflect on my recent experience. It's disappointing, honestly, because the outside patio looks beautiful and it made me excited to visit. But when we walked into the tasting room, it was full, and nobody greeted us or told us what to do (luckily our friends had already visited previously). Another reviewer mentioned they were unable to split a tasting - how odd, because I just visited this past weekend and my friends and I paired up to split a couple tastings (which was $14 to try 6 wines, btw). So that goes to show there's definitely a variety in the standard of service customers are receiving. I agree with other people's reviews that the staff seems snooty, and I did get the feeling that they were ignoring us/rude to us because they assumed we wouldn't be buying any bottles because we were younger. Well, as soon as we hinted we were interested in purchasing some bottles, Michael (our server) poured us an extra tasting, free of charge. Shocker. The wine itself was fine, and fyi the majority of their wines tends to lean towards the drier side. But because of the service, I won't be coming back.

A beautiful setting and a really nice modern building gave us a very good first impression which was quickly dampened by their bizarre rule that you cannot split a tasting. We have done wine tastings in California, New York's Finger Lakes and in Europe and have never come across this policy. Very off-putting. By the way the place was empty so it is not like we were taking up valuable room. We punted and went next store to their wine bar and got a glass of wine. The prices are not cheap but then again it is Door County. The service was fine as were the wines we tried. Bottom line is that we bought three glasses of wine - if we were allowed to do a split tasting perhaps we would have bought a couple of bottles instead! Inflexible customer service can cost you business.

I love coming here for wine tastings! All of the employees are very knowledgeable about the wines they produce. We ended up signing up for their wine club because we love their wines so much. Even if you're not a wino, you will appreciate the quality of their wines.

did a tasting & got to try 5 california wines that were unique & delicious! good service & they even have a wine bar & patio to check out

Excellent service. Well crafted wines with California grapes. Highly recommended especially if you like fine wine.

Location is nothing special, no sharing of wines during tasting, which is odd, wine grapes are all imported, many other wineries around to choose from that are much nicer!

The service was terrible and wine was fair, considering the competition they have in door county. I would NOT make this winery a priority to stop and check out. The building was quaint and charming, but unfortunately the service ruined the experience. Do not recommend.

This review is solely based on the service, and not the wine itself. My husband and I spent the weekend in Door County for my birthday and drove by Stone's Throw. From outside its colorful and has a nice patio area so we pulled over. It was very busy. We made our way into the tasting room, and while everyone looked up and made eye contact, no one smiled or even bothered to say hello. We walked to an open spot at the bar and stood there for an awkward 3 minutes or so when an older man finally walked up and threw a menu in front of us. He didn't explain the tasting options just a brief overview of the wines offered (I.e our grapes are shipped in from California). He turned around and walked away. My husband and I just weren't feeling the vibe. We felt awkward and unwelcome so we left. I'm glad business for them is so good that they don't feel the need to be friendly to patrons. We gladly took our business elsewhere.

Great, upscale winery in Door County. Delicious wines with a friendly staff. The owner made a point to stop by and thank each of us for coming by. A must stop if you are in the area.

We've been coming to this winery for the past 3 years and today was our last time. The owner, Russell didn't say hi or acknowledge us. I came with my husband, our dog and baby in the stroller. I walked in with the stroller and followed the blonde waitress, for the next couple minutes I stood there waiting and my husband waiting outside with our dog while Russell and the waitress tried to figure out where to put us...Russell made us feel very unwelcome and like it was an inconvenience to seat us with our stroller and dog. There were also many open seats. So finally he said, "I guess just put them there..." He then asked if "we are drinking only or eating and drinking." I said, probably just drinking. And his response was: "that was the wrong answer..." The hour we were there Russell stopped at every table to say hi and chat except ours, there were 4 tables total. We've never felt so unwelcome in Door County. We are never going back and will be giving our business to other wineries, along with our friends and family.

If I could give the service zero stars, I would. First off, we walk in and didn't get acknowledged properly. No hospitality. When asked for the party size, 11 people seemed like an inconvenience and a pain. Eyes being rolled from the service staff. Was told that 2 people would have to stand, when there were more chairs available. As some of the party was seated, the server didn't ask for our drink order . We then decided to go to the tasting room because the service was poor in the main area. But the tasting room man was even more unpleasant. The man didn't even tell us why he couldn't serve us. All he said right away "no I can't serve you" and then no one understood him. Very terrible experience and we would have spent so much money there for a bachelorette weekend .

Against other Yelpers suggestions we went here for a wine tasting, mostly because of proximity to where we were staying. We had a great experience, we arrived and were only one of two groups there, they quickly filled up. There were two options, $8 for 5 of the less expensive lighter wines or $12 for 6 of the more expensive robust it wines. Both options came with a wine glass etched with their logo. We had a great experience. Staff was knowledgeable and pleasant. The wines were good and they had a decent variety. After we stopped at Vino Vino, which is connected to the tasting room. Our service was great! Tyler even insisted on carrying our box of glasses and 3 bottles to our car after closing out. He was a great server and very attentive The atmosphere was very relaxing. They had a limited, and slightly over priced menu, but it looked like they sources a lot of the food locally. We will defiantly go back for the other tasting option and maybe a tour.

Visited this summer on 2 separate occasions. Was disappointed in the service we received. Both times noticed others received great service around us while our party did not. We will not be back.

We had a party of 8 and several weeks before arriving I called to make a reservation - reached their voice mail and left a message. No return call so I called back and left another message. No return call so My wife called twice and left messages on their voice mail. Thinking that they would have called us back if there was an issue, we arrived for our wine tasting and were greeted with, you are who for what & you need a reservation for a party that size. We explained that we called 4 times. We were then allowed to have a tasting, but were told that because of our party size we would need to all have the same wines. There was one other smaller group of 3 in the tasting room with what appeared to be a very experienced host who was explaining the wines. We were no as lucky as we were assigned a 21-ish age woman who rolled her eyes at our requests. Water to rinse the glasses between wines (like the other host provided) - eye roll from the hostess, fresh glasses between the white and red wines (like the other host did) - eye roll from the hostess. She just didn't want to be there and should not be in any customer contact position. This could be a fabulous facility and it has great ambiance. But terrible service.

Excellent wine, excellent service! If you are looking for a fantastic wine tasting- stones throw is the place to be .

My wife, daughter and I had a great time at the tasting. We had such a good time that we stayed at the restaurant for the charcuterie board and some more wine. We will definitely return.

This rating is on my tasting experience. Wonderful service, awesome wine. Unfortunately all the wines were out of my budget. I am an everyday wine drinker and can not afford even their lowest priced wine of $31. If I hit the lottery, I will return.

Worse customer service in the tasting room I have ever experienced! Michael was working and a woman I wish I got her name. Just horrible Stood there and waited and there was no communication and total disrespect I would never recommend this place !

Lovely opportunity to taste some wonderful wines. Nice atmosphere. Bill was very thorough in his explanations of the wines we were tasting, as well as engaging. We enjoy good wines and happily walked out with a case. Great experience. Highly recommend.

Completely rude personnel at this establishment. We were a wedding party of 14 in a limo bus hitting several wineries for tastings. Stopping at this place, the groom went in to get details. He was sent to another door down for the wine tasting room, which we all went to. Upon getting inside, the bartender inform us he would not serve us because of our party size. The groom went back to the person who instructed him initially, and was yelled at and berated for not making a reservation before coming to a "high end establishment" (his words). Most high end places that I have been to would not treat customers in this manner. Take your business and your money to a truly high end establishment.

I must preface this by saying that we love this winery and make a stop here any time we are in Door County. It is our tradition to to have a couple glasses of wine and a light bite out on the patio. Today however the restaurant was closed, which is fine but we could not even order a glass of wine in the tasting room, very disappointed.

Wow. The ambiance, the service, the owner, the WINES. the Malbec was remarkable: it's more than a glass, it's an experience worth having. The rosé is the perfect crisp, cool balance to cut through a hot day. Just love this place.

My wife and I flew out to Milwaukee and drove to Door County with some friends. They raved on and on and on about Stones Throw. We came in around 1pm and we were immediately greeted by a lady who told us some things about the winery. We then proceeded to a tasting counter where a gentleman named Tom who give us a very thorough talking to about the several different wines. He then started us with the whites. Then the reds and then the dessert wines. As we were leaving we noticed the "pour your own bottle" and my wife did that with the red blend they were offering. We had a great time here and loved everything.

The BEST winery in Door County. Wonderful experience. The servers are very attentive, they are absolute experts on the wine and tell you all about it while you sip. You also get to keep your glass after the tasting. This is a must do while visiting DC.

We really had a great visit here! The outdoor area is fantastic for social distancing, the service was top notch, the wine is excellent and the property is gorgeous. We shared a couple small plates and enjoyed the food with wine.

This weekend we celebrated my dads wedding and took a limo bus to several wineries, Stones Throw Winery being one of them. NEVER in my life, have I been so appalled by lack of basic human decency from a bartender, let alone TWO of them. This was 1 of 5 stops we had planned. This was the only stop to turn us away. There were 14 of us, with only 6 actually TASTING the wine. The others decided on beer or full glasses. We walked into the first building, not realizing it wasnt the tasting building. The old man behind the bar was a COMPLETE jerk to my dad and myself. He raised his voice and expressed that they werent the tasting room and repeatedly said "why would you think you can bring a party of 14 into a fine dining restaurant with no reservation." We said several times, we were just trying to sample wines, not eat. So we left and went to the other building where we were greeted once again with rolled eyes, head shaking and ATTITUDE. Mind you, we were in SUCH a good mood. We had been having an amazing day and couldnt wait to share our time together at this winery so we were not bulls in a china shop. Two ladies left and said we could stand where they were, which no, wouldnt have fit all 14 of us.. but it would have fit the 6 flights that we had wanted. "Do you have a reservation?!" came out of his mouth over and over with attitude in which we were like, "no we didnt know we needed one to sample wine" and walked out. Our bus driver had left us because he said when they arent excepting groups, they have a sign that says "no bus tours" So while waiting for the bus driver to come back, my dad walked into the first building to tell that man that they didnt want to serve us either in which the old man responded, loudly and full of attitude "did you really think we could accommodate a party of 14" Every time my dad would go to respond to him, he kept talking louder and over my dad. I have worked in the service industry for 15 years. I KNOW how you talk to customers, even if you disagree with them. ALL THE MEN HAD TO DO WAS SAY: "We are sorry, we cant fit a party of 14 right now but could you come back at xyz time" or "We are sorry, we arent accepting bus groups today as we are really busy" or "We are sorry, we hope you guys have a great day but we just cant seat you" you know... ANYTHING without an attitude. We are generous tippers. We are a fun group. We were celebrating a marriage. Had we walked in as 2 parties of 7 would that have made a difference? Had we walked in as 7 couples would that have made a difference? Ive been to this winery before and loved it but unfortunately, 14 customers and their families and freinds will not be returning. An apology to my dad would be nice. By the way, the first guy told us to yelp him so here I am

Best winery we visited in Wisconsin! We liked it so much that we joined the wine club. Every wine we tasted was better than the previous one. Megan was great and did a wonderful job walking us through the tasting and helping us choose the best club option for us. I only wished we lived closer so that we could visit more often. FYI - the Petite Syrah was awesome! I hope those who really enjoy wine ignore the 2 star reviews. If you read them you'll see that the reviewers have issues of their own that they need to work on. I don't have one negative thing to say about this place.

Very disappointing. We always loved coming here on our trips to Door County over the last 10 years, always buying a few cases after our tastings. Sadly as we pulled in to the parking lot this year, we saw their NRA sticker proudly displayed on their vehicle. I can't support a company that opposes responsible gun safety laws. My kids deserve to be safe in their schools -- and the NRA is blocking broadly supported reasonable reforms that would reduce the uniquely American epidemic of gun violence. It's one thing to be pro-gun, and another thing to flaunt support for an organization that would rather thousands of Americans die every year from preventable gun violence than see even the most basic regulation of deadly firearms. Shame on Stone's Throw. We'll spend our money elsewhere.

My husband I were excited about checking out this new wine and tapas bar. We sat outside for 15 minutes while watching a wait staff talk to a customer for 10 minutes. Unfortunately, we had to leave due to disrespect and no service. The worst service we've had in Door County, don't waste your time! We would have been okay, if someone had walked by and said hey we're really busy with only two wait staff. That is easy to understand, but that did not occur!

Husband and I stopped in for a quick tasting while in door county for the weekend. Knew right off the bat while walking in this place might be a little snooty. Big sign by front door saying no bachelorette parties allowed, this is a tasting not a drinking, etc etc. How unwelcoming! Tasting room is inside an old milking barn. Very cool! We were greeted right away and did the cheaper of the two tasting options. The staff guy was very knowledgeable. We felt a little out of place as while I drink a lot of wine, I am by no means a wine snob. This is definitely a pinky-out wine snob place. That being said, Husband and I liked nearly all that we tasted and were even given a "freebie" sample at the end. Bought several bottles.

We had a group of 10 wine lovers come for a wine tasting. Our two designated drivers planned to share sips with theirs wives' samplers (safety first), and were told very curtly by the woman in the sampling room that sharing was not allowed. We had to order our wine at the same time so she could pour us all at the same time. I'm not sure what she thought of our group, but she came across very condescending. We left immediately, went to Simon's Creek afterwards; they were amazing and each couple bought 6+ bottles of wine per couple. Save your time and spend your money elsewhere.

We came here today for a tasting but were turned away rudely at the tasting room. We understood that they were short staffed (3 people running the tasting room and maybe about 10 customers in there) and were more than willing to wait/break our group up. The waitress also told us they required reservations no matter how big the group was but that was not true--we talked to others who confirmed this. We also noticed that a few other reviews noted that this winery may have an issue with minorities, which is suspect considering we had multiple people of color in our group. There are lots of other great wineries in the area-- go to them.
