This was our second visit . We tried 9 wines which included the three new Sparkling wines called desire passion and lust . I liked them but the hubby did not . We then chose a bottle of Remember Me Red to enjoy at home and a glass of our favorite to take out onto the patio with a cheese and sausage plate. I chose a glass of Lust, and my hubby chose In the mood which we took home last time. It was quite busy, but there is plenty of room on the patio. We even were visited by Bailey????

We have visited many breweries around the state but this by far was beyond our expectations. Very beautiful, clean, and a large tasting area with very large stunning beer garden and walking paths to enjoy the scenery. Self guided tour. Nice gift shop. All while enjoying your favorite New Glarus beverage. Only downside was not having all the beers we tasted available for sale.

We thought we would just stroll through this cute shop, but we ended up spending more than I would have thought. We bought a beautiful ceramic Christmas ornament and a ceramic pig, both were really pretty and very European looking.. Just a really nice shop with quality items..
