Amber Falls Winery
You would never guess that this immaculate vineyard started out with just two types of vines in 2005- Chardonnay and Sevyal Blanc. Since then, thousands more vines have been planted in order to create an enchanting vineyard where people gather from all over the world in order to experience the flavors of the award-winning Amber Falls wine. Boasting an award-winning wine selection, the Amber Falls Winery provides a flavorful selection of wines and unique events such as their notorious annual Cajunfest, food trucks, rock concerts, fundraising events, and more.

Both of these experiences sound like winners to us!
