Pine River Dairy is a charming, family-owned creamery located just outside Manitowoc where visitors can browse a mouthwatering selection of more than 250 varieties of cheese, handcrafted butter blends, and fresh, squeaky cheese curds.

The retail shop has many gifts and souvenirs, complete with vintage décor, friendly staff, and a viewing window where guests can watch the butter-making process in action. It’s a favorite stop for locals and visitors alike, especially for their famous curds, often named some of the best around.

Don't forget a scoop of their hand-dipped ice cream, still just 50 cents a scoop. Alongside cheeses and dairy products, you'll also find sausage, cheese spreads, sweets, and apparel. It’s a must-visit for anyone looking to experience the flavors and traditions of Wisconsin dairy country.
