River Bend Winery & Distillery 10439 33rd Avenue

If you spend an afternoon driving through the west side of Chippewa Falls, you may happen upon the hidden gem known today as River Bend Winery & Distillery. With six acres of vineyard growing Brianna, Frontenac, and Frontenac Gris grapes, River Bend specializes in making high quality wine with local and American grown grapes. Founded in 2009, River Bend grew a strong following locally and across Wisconsin because of their award-winning wines. In 2016, River Bend expanded into producing distilled spirits from local crops and now has a distillery where you can enjoy their bourbon, whiskey, gin and vodka and enjoy a variety of craft cocktails. “River Bend is such a warm and welcoming place! Their wine simply speaks for itself, and they have such kind employees! A must stop if you are in the area! From the inexperienced wine drinker, to the connoisseur, there is a great atmosphere with wonderful people to enjoy it with.” — Preston Gunderson, Facebook user”
