Nope! Not here in Grant County! Ok, so we haven’t had a lot of snow for the usual activities. I’m not complaining! I’m one of those people who don’t mind cold weather, if it means I can stay warm inside or travel to some form of entertainment in a nice warm vehicle.

Yes, I’m kind of a wuss about the cold. But………. there are a lot of things to do and I can still stay nice and warm. Grant County has plenty of great stores to shop in for something unique – like the antique stores in Cuba City or popcorn at Rural Route 1. I can take in the Winter Markets on Saturday at the Blaine Gym in Boscobel or the Trinity Episcopal Church in Platteville. Great cheese can be found anytime of year at Gile Cheese in Cuba City and Carr Valley Cheese in Fennimore. Wine? You bet! Spurgeon’s and other wineries are open all year round. Ruby Lady – here I come! Did I mention food? We have some really great places to eat in Grant County. You can find all of this on our website under Tourism.

There are a lot of events coming up for your entertainment, too. “Decoding the Driftless” is being presented on January 29th at the Grantland Theater in Lancaster. It has received great reviews and opens your eyes to the wonders that surround the Driftless Region. For those that actually enjoy cold weather – February 2nd is “Outdoor Skills Day” at Southwest Tech in Fennimore. February 9th, the Potosi Brewery hosts the “Port of Potosi Cave Party”. The “Taste of Fennimore” is just around the corner on March 2nd. Check out our “Events” portion of the website for more information or to find out what other fun things you can do.

Grant County – a great place to live and an awesome place to visit!

Nothing is better than summer in Grant County, Wisconsin! Miles of River for Canoeing, Kayaking, Tubing, and Fishing. Miles of Roads for ATVing, Biking, Cycling, or Touring with that collector car or convertible. Cabins and Campgrounds for a quiet night or family getaways. Hilltop views or Valley vistas. Small Town atmosphere or Big Town amenities. And we haven’t even mentioned our restaurants!

Wineries? Sure – we have them! Spurgeon’s, Whispering Wind, Whispering Bluff, Weggy, and Sinnipee are located in rural Grant County. Some of the best wine available can be found while on a drive through our area. And, we can’t leave out the Potosi Brewery! If you like good beer, you will like at least one of the beers produced in Potosi. The Brewery is also home to the National Brewery Museum and a great restaurant.

If you’re traveling the Great River Road, stop in Cassville and take a ride on the Cassville Car Ferry. The Ferry crosses the Mississippi River to Iowa from May to October and is a unique experience! Watch the Eagles catch a fish and carry it to their nest. Although a short ride (about 12 minutes), the view from “The” River is exceptional!

Take a road trip and check out the far, southwest corner of Wisconsin. We really do have something for everyone!

Grant County has opened its County Roads (designated with an alphabet letter) to ATV/UTV travel to a chorus of cheers! Only roads that have an ATV sign are legal to drive on so make sure you follow the signage! Of course, there are regulations to follow to keep us safe and legal. It’s all worth it to enjoy a ride along the Wisconsin River or Mississippi River roads. We have the perfect landscape to enjoy with our hills, valleys, and fantastic views! So, get out and take a ride and enjoy our part of Wisconsin! We look forward to seeing you!
