Embrace Wintry Fun in Bayfield

A trip to this tasting room is unlike any other — that’s because it’s the first Native-owned distillery in the country. In a nod to the state’s identity, the vodka and gin are made with whey, a cheese byproduct. The spirits take center stage in each handcrafted cocktail, and the laid-back atmosphere helps foster unforgettable connections.

If you’re looking for a slower flow, the environment at Wild Rice Retreat aims to ground the mind, body and spirit. Feed your soul with movement that aligns breath and body, channel your creativity into unique works of art and indulge in self-care for a holistic approach to well-being. It’s the perfect spot to regroup with friends old and new.

Pristine land that’s primed for exploring is the hallmark of Frog Bay Tribal National Park. This is the first tribal national park in the nation and is managed by the Red Cliff Band of the Lake Superior Chippewa Tribe. The 180-acre property includes almost two miles of rustic trails peppered with views of five of the Apostle Islands. While the atmosphere is perfect any time of year, snowshoeing over wintry terrain adds a snow-kissed touch to an already enchanting trek.
