Brambleberry Bed and Breakfast

Antique shops and stores selling unique items dot our area communities. Many of our Amish neighbors sell their own produce or wares. Like other Amish businesses, they are not open Sundays.
Just up the road, within a 10-minute drive, is Tenba Ridge Winery. Tenba has a lovely tasting terrace with a spectacular view. The winery is open May through December and otherwise by appointment. Click here for a video tour of Tenba Ridge.

If you want a taste of another regional winery, the Vernon Vineyards Winery located between Westby and Viroqua -- about an hour's drive -- also offers seasonal tasting from May through December. The winery overlooks the Bad Axe River and has 32 vineyards with 68 acres of grapes.
