By the Season
What’s on the Menu Year-Round?
You’ll find the spring fare in full bloom here in Wisconsin. Bring your fellow foodies and welcome winter’s end by getting outside and exploring spring food fests around the state, or find your new favorite lunchtime food truck as they hit the roads.
Wisconsin’s farmers’ markets run year-round, but you’ll find them in full swing during the summer months. From June through August, you’ll find prime time harvest at its peak—so many vendors, samples and stockpiles of veg, fruit and from-the-farm fare.
You can also look forward to savoring local flavors side-by-side as Wisconsin’s patios reopen for lakeside meals, golden-hour cocktails and conversations that stretch past sunset.
Gather friends and family to fully experience Wisconsin’s season of harvest. From dinner plans at the pizza farm to an afternoon in the apple orchard or even an all-day ordeal at one of the state’s many wine and harvest fests, there’s no shortage of cider, pumpkin spice and the freshest takes on your favorite fall foods.
Embrace the colder months with full plates, cups and hearts. From warm cappuccinos at coffee shop gems to sharing supper club staples, the winter season brings a level of cozy cuisine you won’t find anywhere else. Plus, you can still dine outside—in an igloo or greenhouse!
