An enjoyable activity we enjoy in Baraboo is visiting Balanced Rock Winery for a beautiful day of wine tasting, winemaking tours, and summer events. Set back in the rolling hills of Sauk County, this modern 6,000-square-foot winemaking facility is where the magic happens. This winery features a variety of wines, from unique cold-climate varietals to popular pours like Cabernet and Syrah.

Owners Matt and Kristin Boegner, a husband and wife duo, have always dreamed of owning and operating a winery. While the grapes for Balanced Rock Winery are sourced from regions around the country, including the Columbia Valley in Washington State, the Finger Lakes Region of New York, and other Wisconsin vineyards, they hope to harvest their own fruit eventually. Tastings are offered daily, and they often host fun events, including live music on the lawn.

Before you start filling your itinerary with wine tastings at Balanced Rock Winery and more, you’ll want to secure your lodging. Thankfully, our Baraboo Bed and Breakfast is one of the most unique places to stay in Wisconsin! Our historic Inn, with six elegant guest rooms, offers antique decor and architecture that transports you back to the early 1900s, and you’ll be taken by the stories of the Ringling Family that once called this space home.

The Wisconsin Dells is an outdoor lovers’ paradise, so it’s not a surprise that most of the best things to do in Baraboo, WI, revolve around taking in the stunning scenery, hiking at Devil’s Lake State Park, canoeing on the glassy surface of Mirror Lake, and birdwatching at Palfrey’s Glen. Though that doesn’t mean there isn’t an incredible selection of things to do in Baraboo, WI, that happen indoors, often with a delicious spread of beautifully prepared food and crafted drinks.

Why this area has such a big draw for nature enthusiasts has a lot to do with its geology. The Nature Conservancy designated the Baraboo Hills as one of the “Last Great Places” due to the collection of rare rocks, minerals, flora, and fauna. These features were formed millions of years ago in the last ice age when strong currents from the melting glaciers carved and sculpted the gorges, peaks, unique rock formations, and winding rivers. Exploring these interesting geological areas is by far one of the best things to do in Baraboo, WI!

Before you start filling up your itinerary, you’ll want to secure your lodging, and our Wisconsin Bed and Breakfast is in the ideal location for outdoor and indoor fun.

Thankfully, in 2015 they achieved that goal with the Balanced Rock Winery in Baraboo, WI. Set back in the rolling hills of Sauk County, they constructed a modern 6,000 square foot winemaking facility with hopes of planting their own vineyards. Currently, Balanced Rock Winery acquires grapes from regions near and far, some from the Columbia Valley in Washington State, the Finger Lakes Region of New York, the Lake Michigan Shore, and local Wisconsin vineyards, too.
