Wine Tasting In Wisconsin: Branches Winery and More

Branches Winery

If you’d like to explore the Wisconsin wine world, Branches Winery is just outside Westby, WI, and is a lovely stop to add to your itinerary. Branches Winery is known for its lush red varietals, semi-sweet and fruity wines, and unique ice cider. The tasting room is a welcoming space with indoor and outdoor seating, as well as a small menu of meats and Wisconsin cheeses and its regionally famous wood-fired pizzas served on the weekends.

If you’re looking for a place for lodging in the Driftless Region, the Justin Trail Resort has it all. Quaint and charming bed and breakfast suites, private log cabins, glamping options, and traditional campgrounds. Each morning, we host a piping hot and homemade breakfast in the lodge, the best way to fuel up for your adventure-filled day ahead. We offer family and pet-friendly accommodations. You’ll find plenty of activities to keep you busy at the resort, from disc golf and hiking trails to petting our resident llamas and sitting by the bonfire in the evening.

Branches Winery & More Tastings in the Driftless Region

As a guest at our Wisconsin Bed and Breakfast resort, you’ll be in one of the most beautiful areas of the Driftless Region. These Wisconsin wineries are well worth the scenic drive, and you can create your own self-guided tour of the nearby wine tasting opportunities (and more!).

  • Branches Winery: This local Wisconsin winery is under a half hour from our Wisconsin Bed and Breakfast and Resort. You’ll love tasting through their portfolio of cold weather varietals, including dry, oaked reds and crisp, fruity whites. The outdoor wood-fired pizzas with tasty toppings and combinations are available in the afternoons and evenings on Friday, Saturday, and Sunday. These pair perfectly with a Branches Winery wine flight!

Be sure to try one of their scratch-made cocktails and tour the beautiful farm. While they don’t offer food, you’re more than welcome to bring a picnic on the stunning grounds.
