Old world charm in the heart of the beautiful St. Croix River Valley. Chateau St. Croix Winery & Vineyard invites your group to explore their winery with a 1/2 hour tour that shows the whole wine making process. Each guest is then invited to experience their fine wines in the tasting room and receive a special glass to commemorate the visit.

Their website explains how this European style estate came to the St. Croix RiverValley:

A true appreciation for wine can be uncovered in the lush wine valleys of Europe, where history and tradition are as rich as the wine itself. It was within the Rhine Valley of Germany where Troy and Laura Chamberlin developed a love for all things wine.

The Chamberlins lived in Egelsbach, Germany for several years while Troy served in the United States Air Force. The couple frequented wineries throughout Europe. Upon returning to Minnesota, Troy and Laura decided to bring the romance of the European wineries to the Midwest.

With a zealous vision and a passionate determination, the Chamberlin’s set forth to create their dream: bringing a European-style winery to the rolling hills of the St. Croix Valley.

We are proud to introduce to you Chateau St. Croix, a winery created in the image of a European estate, complete with vineyards, a carriage house, stables, formal gardens and a fishing pond.

Annette has just introduced me to a whole new attraction in the Wausau area.  The Wisconsin Black Bear Education Center.

This black bear sanctuary allows visitors to watch from safety behind a fence, while Jeff Traska gets close up and friendly with the bears. It also allows observation of black bears in a natural environment to better understand their behavior out in the wild.

Pictures are the best way to describe this new attraction:
