Winery Tours:

The Bed & Breakfast Journal announced in their December 2001 issue that Victorian Treasure Inn is "One of the Top 15 Inns for Wine Tasting". Now we don’t profess to know much about wine, but you can tour one of the best wineries in the country, Wollersheim Winery, just twelve miles down the road. Wollersheim Winery is on the eastern bluff of the Wisconsin River, and is on the National Register of Historic Places. Their wines have gained national recognition, and they have an enjoyable and interesting tour! Take a look at their web site for upcoming special events.  Limousine service to Wollersheim Winery is available from Romantic Ride Limousine.

Other good wineries in the area include Botham Vineyards & Winery in Barneveld, Spurgeon Vineyard in Highland and Cedar Creek Winery in Cedarburg. Cedar Creek Winery is the sister winery to Wollersheim Winery. 

Guests of Victorian Treasure Inn also gather each evening in the Bissell Mansion parlors for a glass of wine and some wonderful Wisconsin cheeses.

There are FIVE Golf Facilities within 30 minutes of the Inn.
