ABOUT THIS DISTILLERY

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.

WHAT SETS THEM APART

The combination of winery and distillery operations under one roof sets Studio Winery + Geneva Lake Distilling apart from single-focus producers. This dual approach means you’re visiting a place that’s working with both fermented grape products and distilled spirits, which requires different skill sets and equipment. The Lake Geneva location also puts them in a tourist-heavy area where they’re competing with established wineries and breweries, so the hybrid model gives them a broader appeal for visitors who might want to try multiple types of beverages.

THE VISITOR EXPERIENCE

You’ll walk into a space that serves both wine and spirits, so the atmosphere tends to be more relaxed and less production-focused than dedicated distilleries. Tastings typically include both wine and spirit options, letting you compare how the same producers approach different types of alcohol. The setting reflects the Lake Geneva area’s casual vacation vibe rather than the serious, educational tone you might find at larger craft distilleries. Staff can walk you through both sides of the operation, though the depth of distilling knowledge may vary.

IS IT WORTH VISITING

This works best for people who want variety in their tasting experience rather than deep dives into distilling techniques. If you’re touring the Lake Geneva area and want to hit multiple types of craft beverages efficiently, the combo approach saves time. Wine drinkers who are curious about spirits will find it approachable, and groups with mixed preferences can find something for everyone. However, serious whiskey enthusiasts looking for detailed distilling education or rare spirits might want to pair this with visits to more specialized distilleries in the region.

⚠️ VISITING TIPS

Call ahead to confirm both distilling and wine operations are available during your visit, as some smaller operations rotate their focus. Lake Geneva can get crowded during peak summer and fall weekends, so timing your visit for weekdays or off-peak hours usually means better service and more time to chat with staff. Ask specifically about their spirits production if that’s your main interest, since the wine side tends to dominate the marketing. Parking should be straightforward, but double-check the address since some GPS systems struggle with the Sheridan Springs Road area.
