A rare opportunity to own a turnkey vineyard and winery estate in Manitowoc County—where lifestyle, land, and business come together in one fully established setting.
Spanning approximately 24 acres, the property features nearly 3,000 established vines across six grape varietals (three red, three white) and roughly 4.5 acres of producing vineyards—2 acres to the east and 2.5 acres to the west. Both vineyard blocks are fully fenced and serviced with potable water and electrical.
The 2025 harvest yielded approximately 28,000 pounds of grapes, capable of producing nearly 9,000 bottles of wine. The entire vineyard, winery license, equipment, and operational infrastructure are included, offering a true turnkey opportunity for a buyer looking to continue, scale, or reimagine the brand.
With additional open acreage, the estate is well suited for vineyard expansion, a dedicated tasting room, private event venue, or wedding destination. The existing residence could easily transition into a tasting center or hospitality hub while maintaining private living on site.
The main home, built in 1996, offers a comfortable and functional layout with a remodeled kitchen, fireplace, three bedrooms, and a partially finished walkout lower level with wet bar and entertaining space. Step outside to the multi-level concrete patio where a covered hot tub creates a private spot to unwind after a day in the vineyard or while hosting on the property. An attached heated 3-car garage supports year-round use.
A separate 1-bedroom cottage with in-floor heat and its own utilities provides ideal accommodations for guests, staff, or short-term rental potential—enhancing the live/work flexibility of the estate.
Supporting structures include:
• 60’ x 42’ pole building with concrete floor and three powered overhead doors
• 50’ x 36’ pole building with large sliding doors
• 20’ x 50’ licensed winery production addition
• Additional storage buildings and container storage near the vineyards
Located just one mile from I-43 and five miles south of Manitowoc, the property offers privacy without sacrificing accessibility—ideal for hosting, distribution, and tourism.
With retiring owners ready to pass the torch, this is a rare chance to acquire an established Wisconsin vineyard estate with production history, infrastructure, and room to grow.
A destination property. A working vineyard. A lifestyle investment.
