Things to Keep in Mind for Your Door County Wine Tour
You can get to all of the wineries in a day. However, we suggest allocating at least two days for your wine tour so you can get the best out of all the wineries.
Additionally, if you want to visit all the wineries, we suggest starting at Stone’s Throw (Baileys Harbor) and then heading to Lautenbach’s (Fish Creek). Then, head over to Harbor Ridge (Egg Harbor) and finally explore the wineries at Sturgeon Bay.
Finally, while most wineries have a gift shop, you might want to spend most of your shopping at Lautenbach’s, as they have tons to offer.
