The Door County Wine Festival showcases the ten wineries on the Door County Wine Trail.  The Door County Wine Trail is nestled between Lake Michigan and the Bay of Green Bay and greatly depicts the beauty of Door County and the charm of its small towns.  The wineries in this region are well-known for producing fruit wines, especially cherry and apple, as well as estate-grown grape wines. Some of the wineries have been rooted in the region for over 50 years and others are just establishing roots. We love them all and so will you. The Door County Wine Fest is the place to sip, swirl and savor the taste of the region all at one beautiful location in Baileys Harbor, Door County.
