Apple Barn Orchard Winery - Elkhorn

Uninspiring. The wine was overly sweet, and the selection of jams, jellies, rubs, and cheeses was lacking. The staff at the registers were unfriendly and rude. It’s not worth the drive from Lake Geneva, even though the Wisconsin red barns are quite charming.

Overall, it was a great experience, although the tacos weren't that impressive. The donuts are definitely the highlight of the visit. You might want to bring your own wagon since there aren't enough available, haha. However, the ciders and donuts are absolutely delicious, especially the spiced cider, which deserves a *chef's kiss*!

I had a wonderful experience! The orchard was filled with many apple trees, all brimming with ripe apples. We decided to purchase two pecks and received a third bag for free, which we filled with lovely Cortland and Ida Red apples. We also sampled two of the semi-sweet wines: Honey Crisp White and Raspberry White, both of which were fantastic! We finished our visit by sitting at a picnic table and enjoying some live music.

This is a fantastic spot for kids to enjoy picking strawberries, apples, and pumpkins. The store is lovely and offers a wide selection of fruit wines and various other products.

I should mention that my hands and my family's hands became a bit itchy during the picking, and we noticed a few spiders around—just something to consider if that bothers you. Also, be prepared to get a little sweaty! Overall, it was a fantastic hands-on experience for the family, and the strawberries tasted amazing! P.S. If you plan to come back, remember to bring the bucket you used on your first visit, as you’ll receive a discount!
