Road Trip to Wollersheim Distillery
Perhaps you knew that Wisconsin winemakers are actually allowed to distill brandy? After the success of its first few Coquard brandy releases, Wollersheim didn’t rest on its laurels. Here, the MCW bus will pick you up downtown at Merchant and whisk you to Wollersheim’s brand-new distillery, where you’ll enjoy a delicious dinner crafted by chefs Evan Dannells and Dan Fox of Merchant and Heritage Tavern. Bar managers Thor Messer and Clint Sterwald will pair cocktails featuring the new distillery’s absinthe, gin and just-released 2016 bottling of Coquard, the brandy that started it all. Tickets: $80
