The rolling hills and rich soil of the western part of the state has proven to be one of the best spots to grow grapes and make wine. In Taylor, about an hour north of La Crosse, Brambleberry Bed and Breakfast and Winery invites you to stay at their beautiful vineyard along with a charming farm and imagine that you’ve traveled to the Scottish Highlands.
From Scottish Blackface sheep to Highland Cattle, even the animals here will make you think you’re far, far away from Wisconsin. The rural country home was built by the owner’s grandparents in 1926. It has since expanded to accommodate the B & B and winery, but it still honors the Scottish heritage of their ancestors. Located in the “wilds” of Wisconsin near La Crosse and Eau Claire, a trip here is meant to evoke the simple country lifestyle of England or Scotland.

Though you may never want to leave Brambleberry, it’s actually located in an awesome spot, close to so many other western Wisconsin attractions. Right in the center of the Black River Country Wine Trail and not too far from the Great River Road Wine Trail, you’re close to tons of other attractions.

The animals at Brambleberry are part of what makes it so unique and special. The tiny Blackface Sheep in the spring are reason enough to come back again and again.

And the shaggy Highland Cattle seem to fit right at home here in our Wisconsin climate.

Make sure you get out and explore the area - the Brambleberry has two different trails. If you’re there in the fall, they’re a great way to see the fall foliage.
