Do you offer tours?

At this time, we offer tours exclusively for our Barrel Club members. While we don’t offer public tours, here’s a fun fact: when you're standing in our tasting room, you're actually right above 32 wine tanks.

Do you offer wine tastings?

Yes! We offer complimentary wine tastings at our tasting bar, where our team will walk you through one of three curated flights ranging from dry to semi to sweet. It’s a personalized way to explore our wines and find your favorites. No reservation needed!

Do you host private events at the winery?

We do! We offer private after-hours events, vineyard lawn gatherings, and deck rentals for everything from casual get-togethers to special celebrations.

Groups are also welcome during regular business hours. To plan a visit with a group of eight or more, email grapes@riverbendwinery.com or call us at (715) 720‑9463.

Is your wine gluten free?

The yeast and additives used in our winemaking process are gluten-free, and the risk of gluten in our wine is extremely low. Typically, any risk comes from trace amounts of wheat paste used to seal oak barrels during manufacturing. We only use oak barrels when aging our dry red wines. Please note we are not third-party ‘gluten-free’ certified.

Do you offer something other than wine?

We do! Our on-site distillery produces artisan spirits, featured in a rotating menu of handcrafted cocktails and mocktails. We also serve wine slushies and a selection of local beer from Lazy Monk Brewing. Bottled soda and water are available too.

Please note: carry-in alcoholic beverages are not allowed.

Can I bring my own food?

Our state license doesn’t allow outside food inside the winery unless it’s provided by a licensed caterer. However, you’re welcome to enjoy carry-in food on our patio and vineyard lawn. We also offer light bites like cheese, crackers, beef sticks, and cheesecake inside…and often host food trucks on weekends, too!

Can I carry in other beverages?

No outside beverages are allowed, including non-alcoholic drinks. But don’t worry! We’ve got everything you need! From wine, cocktails, mocktails, slushies, and beer to complimentary water stations in the tasting room.

Do you allow dogs?

Yes! Your furry friends are welcome outside on our patio and vineyard lawn. We just ask that you keep them close, clean up after them, and help us keep the space comfortable for all guests.

We’re proud to support our community and local causes whenever we can. While we can’t accommodate every request, we review each one carefully. To be considered for a donation, please email grapes@riverbendwinery.com with details about your organization and event.
