Wisconsin WineriesWelcome to our Wisconsin Wineries Page, the Wisconsin climate is very difficult for wine grape production. Only about a dozen wineries have commercial operations in the state, with most making wines from other fruits in addition to grapes. Some Wisconsin wineries rely upon vineyards in other states for all or part of their grape sources. Wisconsin has one designated American Viticultural Area, the Lake Wisconsin AVA. As of 2007, according to lobbying group WineAmerica, only about 41 wineries were in operation in Wisconsin.
