It’s a great pairing – tour an award-winning Wisconsin craft brewery, spend the night at an artisan-style B&B, and maybe even enjoy a breakfast dish with beer in the recipe. For the ultimate experience, there’s Brewery Creek Inn, which is a B&B and microbrewery in one!

 Two other culinary fests we recommend:

  • Wisconsin Dells on Tap, part of Autumn Harvest Fest in Wisconsin Dells, will take place October 17.  More than 25 Wisconsin microbreweries participate in this tasting event, and there are food pairings from Carr Valley Cheese and the National Mustard Museum too.  To order advance tickets, click here.  
  • The first Wisconsin Original Cheese Festival set for November 6 and 7 at the Monona Terrace in Madison.  There will be bus tours to cheese factories, seminars on the art of cave-aged and pasture-grazed cheeses, and a gala reception featuring 100 different Wisconsin cheeses.  Tickets for the cheese-a-thon are available by clicking here.
