ÆppelTreow Winery & Distillery is a family-run cidery, winery, and distillery located just outside Lake Geneva on the grounds of Brightonwoods Orchard in Burlington, Wisconsin. The name ÆppelTreow means “Apple True” in Old English, and the business stays true to its name by crafting small-batch beverages from heirloom apples and pears grown locally.
Visitors can enjoy a wide range of offerings, from crisp sparkling ciders and delicate perries to rich dessert wines, brandies, and whiskey. Each product highlights the unique character of rare and antique fruit varieties, many of which are not found in commercial production. ÆppelTreow focuses on sustainable practices, minimal intervention, and preserving biodiversity, making every sip a reflection of Wisconsin’s orchard heritage.
The tasting room provides a welcoming, rustic setting where guests can sample flights, purchase bottles, and relax with views of the orchard. Seasonal hours and weekend tastings make it a popular stop for wine, cider, and spirits enthusiasts exploring the Lake Geneva area. With its blend of tradition, craftsmanship, and local flavor, ÆppelTreow offers an authentic taste of Wisconsin’s orchard-to-glass culture.
