Elmaro Vineyard - producing the finest St Pepin and Marquette grapes for wineries in Wisconsin

Our interest in growing grapes started with our love of wine, agriculture,and family.

We are proud to be a family owned and run start up operation. Planting our

first vines in the spring of 2006, we set out to not only grow the best quality grapes

for select Midwest wineries, but also to share our experience and love

of grapes with all that visit. Wine makers and wine lovers alike can come

and enjoy our picturesque vineyard.
