Our Story

ABOUT US

Owners Jay and Kay Stoeger purchased 38 acres along the East Twin River Valley in 1993. On the property they built stables and an arena that would later become Cold Country Vines & Wines.

Cold Country Vines & Wines is trying to make it easier to get our wines. We currently are available in 2 other locations:

Piggly Wiggly in Kewaunee

Superior Liquor in Manitowoc

OUR VINEYARDS

We have one of the largest vineyards in Wisconsin. Many of the surrounding wineries buy grapes from Cold Country.
