Tour 5 – 8:00am –  Spirited - Throttlestop -Capones - Ziegler Winery

Throttlestop is venue with all types of automobiles and motorcycles for sale on consignment.  It’s a very neat place to visit and dream about that car you had, wished you had or want to have!!

 

Capone’s Restaurant was originally built in 1846 as the Stage Coach Inn and Fuhrman Hotel and had earned a place on the State Historical Registry and is said to be one of Al Capone’s stops when traveling between northern Wisconsin and Chicago.

Capone’s is popular for our Burgers, Sandwiches, Wraps, Brats, Hot Dogs, Pizzas, Wings, Salads, and Friday Fish Fry.

Capone’s is also popular for reports of hauntings. Inside the restaurant, there were claims of pizza pans being thrown in the kitchen, a beer glass flying off a counter and the scent of perfume wafting through the air. Outside, visitors and passersby reported seeing movement and lights in the third floor windows and even the figure of a woman.

Following lunch you will travel to Ziegler Winery.  Their property was purchased in 2015 with the dream of owning their own large vineyard and winery. Established along the east shore of Lake Winnebago, we are located within the Wisconsin Ledge AVA, a region where the area’s temperate climate rivals that of some of the best wine-growing regions on earth.

The vineyard has grown to over 7000 vines on approximately 12 acres. We currently grow eleven All New World Northern hardy hybrids – the only grape varieties that can withstand the frigid Wisconsin winters. All of our vines were hand planted with the help of our wonderful family and friends. We harvest by hand and every wine is crafted and bottled on our property.

In fall 2018 they started their first vintage. Over 6000 gallons (31,000 bottles) of wines were produced. All the wines are hand crafted and made in small batches so the attention to detail is second to none. From start to finish, 100% of the process is done on site.  Their tasting room is one of the largest in the state, with two upper mezzanine levels – one side with upper fireplace, two larger lower levels for seating with a fireplace, an outdoor enclosed patio and a second patio.

This will be a fun tour!!
