WI and MN Wineries, Great River State Trail, WI

We spent a day visiting wineries near the Mississippi River in both Wisconsin and Minnesota.  It was a lovely day and we ended up having dinner at  Pettibone Boat Club, WI, right on the river!

We walked a few miles of the Great River State Trail which is 24 miles long.  I'm sure we will walk more before we leave here.  It is easy walking and the area is beautiful.  Lovely wetland areas close to the Mississippi:
