Door County is a popular vacation spot in Wisconsin, right on Lake Michigan with quant little towns with dinners, shops and wineries. With a week off and some time to spend with my Mom I figured a day trip up to Door County was in order.

Door County is an easy drive from anywhere in Wisconsin, Minnesota, or Illinois and would make for a great summer trip.

But it is a great weekend getaway for those in the Midwest.
We did end up buying a bottle of Cranberry Apple Wine, Viognier and a Port. All of which were very drinkable and under $15 a bottle.
Simon Creek was my favorite, they had really unique wines with a really good Viognier and a port made with local grapes.
Even on a cold day the water was beautiful and blue:
