Nestled in the heart of Wisconsin’s Iowa County Uplands and surrounded by more than 900 acres of nature conservancy, Botham Vineyards & Winery is situated within easy traveling distance of southwest Wisconsin’s many popular destinations.
Designed and built as a dairy farm in the early 1900s, the soul of this property was, beginning in 1989, given new purpose. Its gently sloping pastures, then deeply lined with the hoof prints of a half-century’s herds and knotted with rocks and tree stumps, became host to the tranquil symmetry of trellis.
The circa-1900 hung barn, rare both for its architecture and longevity, was lovingly restored, now housing our tasting room, gallery and gift shop.
The dirt floor and cinder block walls of a one-time cattle shed provided the shell for the original winery. In later years it would be replaced by a 5000-square-foot purpose-built winery, but the original building remains a working structure, housing our corporate office and the headquarters of Big Stuff Racing.
The traditional four-square farmhouse too, has been carefully rehabilitated and though a private home, it stands as the vineyard’s welcoming matriarch, beckoning visitors from across the country and around the world.
Come sample our regionally distinctive, award-winning wines and enjoy our singular brand of Wisconsin hospitality. We look forward to welcoming you.
