Studio Winery + Geneva Lake Distilling sits on East Sheridan Springs Road in Lake Geneva, Wisconsin, combining wine production with craft spirits in what started as Studio Winery before expanding into distillation. The operation reflects the growing craft beverage scene in the Lake Geneva area, though it maintains a smaller scale compared to some of the region’s more established distilleries. You’ll find them producing both wines and spirits under the same roof, creating a hybrid experience that’s becoming more common in Wisconsin’s craft beverage landscape.
The distillery side of the operation focuses on small-batch spirits, though specific production details and founding stories aren’t widely documented online. What you do get is the experience of visiting a place that’s trying to do two things well rather than specializing in just distilling. The Lake Geneva location puts them in Wisconsin’s recreational heartland, where weekend visitors from Chicago and Milwaukee come to unwind.
The facility offers tastings and sales, giving you a chance to sample both their wines and spirits in one stop. It’s part of the broader trend of craft beverage producers diversifying their offerings, though the execution and visitor experience can vary depending on what you’re most interested in trying.
