Wisconsin’s Boutique Winery: Where Heritage Shapes Every Pour
Award-Winning Wines, Artisan Methods, and Historic Roots
Spirits of Norway Winery stands apart because every drop poured during your Tour N Taste is the result of rigorous craftsmanship and a commitment to local excellence. Our boutique production, capped at under 3,000 cases annually, ensures that quality is never sacrificed for quantity. President Randy Larson, working alongside winemaker Justin Bruener, personally selects cold-climate hybrid grapes such as Marquette, Brianna, and Petite Pearl from the University of Minnesota breeding program, perfectly suited to Wisconsin’s weather. The winery’s roots stretch back to 1839, when Norwegian settlers first recognized the unique growing potential of this soil. Today, that legacy translates to international wine awards and a highly sought-after experience. From the first vineyard walk to your final tasting, you will see why Spirits of Norway is recognized as a top destination for wine lovers in Racine County, Southeastern Wisconsin, and beyond.
