Oakwood Fruit Farm

Reviewed By Lori R - Spring Green, Wisconsin

Our local Illinois orchards put it to shame. They had 6 different varieties of apples. Cider, donuts, pumpkins, squash, mums. You pick grapes $1.25 per pound. I did not see where you could pick apples yourself. Prices seemed high to me. They have quite a bit to offer from frozen pies, caramel apples etc. It's the usual fall stuff. Maybe if I only been to 1 orchard it would be ok. But, originally coming from Illinois I know there is a lot more to offer. You want to take a trip go to tanners orchard in Speer Illinois and see what they offer.

Weggy Winery

Reviewed By ByeByeSeeYouLater - Reedsburg, Wisconsin

We've been to wine tastings all over the country and often the setting is fancy and the wine is mediocre at best. Weggy Winery was an exception. We were the only visitors on a dreary late Saturday afternoon in late March but it was thoroughly enjoyable. They have a large selection of wines and it's very inexpensive to try a good number of them. It was a pleasant surprise to find dry red wines to try (my favorite) as well as the sweet wines favored by my wife and son. We also liked that they grow their own grapes and fruit making for truly local wines. We each found several wines we enjoyed and ended up purchasing six bottles to take home. The tasting area isn't fancy but the good wine makes up for it! My adult son uses crutches and the hostess was quick to get a stool for him and she was very friendly and cordial throughout our visit. We'll be back soon!

A.D. German Warehouse

Reviewed By Raintree_Thailand - Bangkok, Thailand

The A.D. German Warehouse is indeed not a typical Frank Lloyd Wright creation. But in true flamboyant fashion of never doing anything simple, this building is also by no means a typical warehouse. Best known for its elaborate cast concrete frieze along the top of the building in Mayan motif, the impressive 4-story building stands out among Richland Center's historic buildings. The German Warehouse is, in fact, the only Wright-designed building in Richland Center, which is where Wright was born in 1867. The warehouse was nearly completed (in reality, the building was never quite completely completed to Wright's intended design) in 1921 and, contrary to review below, did in fact serve its intended purpose as a warehouse for sugar, coffee, and flour for some years. Later, in the 1960s, it was used to store individuals' belongings in the days before modern storage facilities.

In recent decades, attempts to turn the warehouse into a Wright museum have largely failed. These days, it's not easy to gain access, but if you're lucky enough to find someone to let you in, grab the chance. The building is fascinating inside and out.

Lots of fun here! We ate the fish fry on a Friday night, and it was yummy! We also had drinks at the bar and went bowling. The staff was very friendly.

Pine River Trail

Reviewed By co2dci04 - dalton

My friend and I decided to try the Pine River Bike Trail after finding it in the Travel Wisconsin official biking guide. We were not impressed beyond the little trail within the city limits. The paved part is great. Hard to know where to go if you wanted to go North, no idea where the trail continued, so we went South. The paved part turned into gravel, which was not bad but then it turned into rutted up, (looked like a tractor went through there) dirt road. There are also no markers to let you know how far you have to the next town or how far you have gone. (I know an odometer would be the key for that) We were just not very impressed. We also spent an hour driving around trying to find where to park and access the trail.
