Hand Crafted Wisconsin Wine, Mead & Kombucha Tea

How it all Began

Back in the 1990s, I worked with a guy that got me hooked on brewing beer, and it went like wildfire! After I created several different types of beer, I gradually progressed into making fruit wines, grape wines and even dandelion wine.

After entering and winning numerous prize ribbons for my different wines at the WI State Fair Amateur Wine Making Competition and getting tremendous support from friends & family on the wines I had developed, my determination and passion for opening a winery and wine shop was firmly established.

I had long dreamed of opening a winery near our home by the Duck Creek area of Howard, WI, so the name “Duck Creek Vineyard & Winery” was chosen and registered with the State of Wisconsin.

Then the entire Door County Peninsula was designated as “The Wisconsin Ledge”, an American Viticulture Area (AVA) (i.e., an official wine growing region of the US ) by the US Department of Treasury, and our thoughts turned to moving to my wife’s home town of Denmark WI within The Wisconsin Ledge. We found a great location that was perfect for the winery and that also had an existing shop destined to become our Wine Shop, so we relocated there in In September of 2012, renovated the property with the help of family and friends, and opened Duck Creek Vineyard & Winery to the public in November of 2013.

While we only carried a handful of wines when we opened, today we have several international award-winning wines & meads that have also received international acclaim, and, as we like to say, “offers something for everyone … even those who say they don’t like wine!”

We also feature several different “seasonal” wines and meads throughout the year. In 2013 we offered our Original Kombucha Tea. Today, we have five different flavors of Kombucha Tea: Original Flavor, Goji Berry, Lemongrass Ginger, Peach Ginger and Raspberry Pomegranate.

And we’ve been researching and developing new products ever since, which lead to our latest venture, the opening of Denmark Distilling in 2018, which is housed in the same building as our winery and wine store.

Denmark Distilling now produces the following spirits:

• Rum
• Gin
• Vodka
• Sugar Moonshine
• Cherry Moonshine
• Grandma’s Apple Pie Moonshine
• Blueberry Cobbler Moonshine
• Lemon Drop Moonshine
• Salted Caramel Moonshine
• Honey Moonshine
• Grampa Bill’s Brandy
• Sorghum Whiskey
• Noble Synergy Bourbon
• Aquavit

From the Winemaker
