We love taking guests to Schell's. We have been there several times - watching the peacocks and deer, shopping in the gift shop, having a beer outside with the various bands playing, it is all just fun! Also beautiful at Christmas when all the luminaries are lit through the gardens and up to the house. Everyone should see it at least once (or many times!).

A friend and I came here to try out the winery - little did we know it's also attached to an apple orchard and there is a ton to do! With COVID, we had a wine tasting outside. The tastings were generous portions - we shared one white and one red. All of the wine was good! We will be back to get bottles. The winery is inside of a barn and has a very charming rustic feel. The apple barn part is awesome too - picked up apple brats, apples, candles and wax warmers. Very cute gift shop and place. Can't wait to come back!

Immerse yourself in the wine-making experience from vine to bottle, stroll through the vineyards or tour the winery and its architecture. As a guest, you will learn about hardy cold-climate grapes and their unique growth and taste properties that make them so well-suited to wine production. Our experts will guide you through a variety of our hand crafted wines in our large tasting room, or in one of our five private tasting rooms.

During a beautiful Fall drive through the country, my husband and I noticed the sign on the side of the road and decided to stop. We're so glad we did. Quaint tasting room that opens to a beautiful patio area on warmer days....knowledgeable and friendly servers....with sixteen different wines/hard ciders to try. We enjoyed the wine tasting experience, and had a hard time choosing our favorites! Seems like a multi-generational family business, and all staff were welcoming. Stop by- you'll be glad you did :)
