Wine and Beer Tasting for Two
What better way to start a romantic holiday than getting cozy with a nice glass of wine or a hearty mug of beer? If this sounds like heaven to you and your loved one, then head down to Algoma, Wisconsin.

You and your significant other can enjoy over 30 different wines from both grape and fruits. This includes vintages made of Door County cherries, which is also in the winery’s fortified Cherry Bounce brandy.
If lager and beer are more to your liking, savor the different seasonal brews of the Ahnapee Brewery. Take a sip of its smooth Pumpkin Ale brew and drink in the essence of autumn or share a mug of the Brewery’s Café Blonde, which deliciously combines beer with the energizing flavor of Door County Coffee.
Enjoy Nature and History
No trip to Fish Creek would be complete without a visit to Eagle Bluff Lighthouse. Built on the shores of the Great Lake in 1868, Eagle Bluff Lighthouse is a charming confection of cream-colored bricks situated in one of the most charming places in Wisconsin. This makes it perfect for lazy afternoons and a great location for beautiful couple photos to remember your day trip.
