Aeppeltreow Winery

This place was so much fun! We stopped in after inhaling a few delicious apple cider donuts & fresh cider next door @ Brightonwoods Orchard (highly recommend). There are a couple of tasting rooms once you walk in - The staff at our tasting were so animated and made our experience very enjoyable. You are given a double-sided sheet with all of their options and are able to choose 5 to taste for free (tip once finished for the excellent service!)....all descriptions are listed next to either each cider, wine or spirit. I will say, it was very difficult to choose, but I found that I enjoyed their semi sweet ciders the most and bought a couple of 4 packs to take home (even though it's very easy to get carried away since everything we tasted was delicious)

Aeppeltreow is a hidden gem. I stumbled upon it a few years ago when my friends and I came to Brightonswood for apple picking and it quickly became a yearly tradition. If you like unique wine- you need to make a stop here. All of their wine, ciders and spirits are made with apples and pears on site, and they offer free tastings so that you can try before you buy! I personally thoroughly enjoyed the apple wine and the spiced cider the most, but all the options were delicious. The spirits were STRONG. They packed a punch and boy they are delicious with a mixer. As if the drinks didn't speak for themselves, to top it all off- the staff made the experience. They instantly made us feel comfortable and we laughed so much at the funny stories and jokes! The experience was very interactive. The prices were very reasonable and we will be enjoying our wine and cider from home! What a wonderful spot.

What a cute place for an autumn trip with crisp air, apples and booze! I did the booze sampling which was $5 for 6 samples which I highly recommend the try before you buy option. It's done in a Covid safe way with a tray that is marked with each sample number and a disposable shot glass.After you get your booze then hit the little store for apples galore and the cold pressed cider. The cider is INCREDIBLE and a must buy in the store. Of course I envisioned adding booze - naughty!The place is jamming with guests from both WI and IL so it might be difficult for parking but worth the wait. Grab a picnic table after you get your tasty samples and a caramel apple doughnut to soak up the booze.

Stopped here during our camping trip at richard bong since its literally up the block and wow this place is amazing. As soon as we walked in we were greeted and the tour started. The owner started going through the cider list and we had 5 free samples. It was very unique. Then we went for the flight and it was 10 dollars. Its so worth it. My favorite was the spiced cider. We ended up buying 6 cans of cider.

What a beautiful farm! We drove from Chicago on a rainy Sunday. I wish the weather was better, but that couldn't be helped. It would have been nice to stroll around the apple orchard. You can pay $10 for 14 low alcohol samples or $15 for high alcohol content samples. Personally, I couldn't handle more than 5 samples, so I stuck with the free ones and gave our great hostess a big tip instead. The drinks were very tasty, but then again, I love cider brew, especially in the autumn. I wish there was a sampler that I could have purchased with 3 ounce bottles so that I could take them back on an airplane. Unfortunately, I was unable to take anything home with me. We definitely will return again if we are visiting the area in the fall or spring.

Impressed by dedication to mask wearing! The wine, cider, and spirits tasting was great with uniques flavors that I've never experienced before. Highly recommend the spiced cider and blackberry cider. Small fall market offered beautiful apples, squash, honey, and other fall treats!

This place is a treasure. It's only a little bit of a hike from the city and you get amazing fall produce, the MOST delicious apples, in the country store. Apple cheese dip? So unique and appetizing. Apple cider? The best I've ever had. Plus the winery portion is super cool and down home. You can do a tasting (including some freebies) and they are super open to answering questions and giving recommendations. Will definitely go back!

Always look forward to the opportunity to stop at AeppelTreow when I'm in the area. They have an excellent variety of exemplary ciders and the spirits are top shelf! I've enjoyed getting to know Charles & Milissa over the years I've been visiting and look forward to catching up with them whenever the chance arises! AeppelTreow is a must visit when in SE WI AND they now ship their cider so I'd highly recommend ordering some to experience for yourself. Cheers!

Went here Sunday afternoon. The Autumn weather and Halloween flavor made it more enticing. We took a tour of the winery for free and also sampled the local wines, and hard ciders. Very delicious! They also had free samples of cider, cheese, and locally grown apples. You could purchase pumpkins, gourds, and corn stalks for your Halloween needs. A must see if you're in the area!

A special brew. Just wonderful. Don't miss this opportunity when you are in the area
