Spring Wine Walk

The Spring Wine Walk transforms downtown Wisconsin Dells into a casual tasting route where local shops, restaurants, and bars each pour 2-3 wines paired with small bites. Expect 10-15 participating stops along Broadway and nearby streets, with each venue offering reds, whites, or rosés chosen to showcase spring varietals alongside cheese, charcuterie, chocolates, or seasonal appetizers.

Tickets usually cost $25-$40 and include your tasting glass, event map, and access to all participating locations. The walk typically runs 1-6 PM on a Saturday in April or May, giving you flexibility to start early or sleep in. No reservation times per location, so you can linger at favorites or move quickly through crowded spots. Wear comfortable walking shoes as you’ll cover 10-12 blocks throughout the afternoon.

Turn this into a full weekend by staying in a Lake.com rental on Lake Delton or the Wisconsin River. Start your day with a walk on the Scenic RiverWalk, a paved path following the water through downtown with benches overlooking the current and occasional blue herons fishing the shallows. After the wine walk, book dinner at Del-Bar (founded 1943), the classic supper club where relish trays, brandy old fashioneds, and prime rib have defined Wisconsin dining for 80+ years. Sunday morning, paddle rented kayaks along quieter river sections before driving home. The pairing of lakeside calm and downtown tasting energy makes for an ideal spring escape.
