Reviews for Villa Bellezza in Pepin, WI
Very excellent wine and wine tasting. Hayley or is Hailey? She was our taster and was very friendly and knowledgeable about the... wines. Really walked us through a nice tasting. The wine tasting section is incredible and the walk in cellar at the bar is verynice! Wisconsin wine? Yes please! Read more
Villa Bellezza is a perfect example of a beautiful, unique and wonderful spot to check out in Western Wisconsin. I'd heard about... it for a while and finally made my way there - and so glad I did. The buildings and grounds are immaculate. They almosttransport you from Wisconsin. The wine was perfectly flavorful and delicious. I ordered the garlic chicken pizza; and although Iloved it, I have a feeling any food you order from here would be amazing. In the outer court I saw countless tables of couples,family and girls days, even a wedding- and I think this is a perfect spot for all of them. Read more
Our favorite place to visit when we are in the area. Beautiful and relaxing, nice vineyards for walks, great wine to taste and... delicious food to eat - pizza, pasta, panini, salads and more. The courtyard is absolutely gorgeous, a little piece of Italyright here in Wisconsin. Take some delicious wine home and come back again. Read more
Such a gorgeous place & great wine! Freya was so helpful we ended up taking home a bottle of her favorite wine. We?re excited to... try her suggestion & will definitely be back :) Read more
Back in 2012, my husband and I visited Villa Bellezza while on vacation for our 10th wedding anniversary. We tried some wines... and wanted to choose a special bottle to save for our 20th anniversary. The helpful staff suggested a bottle and we took ithome to live in our wine rack for the next decade. Today, we pulled that bottle out to share for our 20th year together. (Wemade it!) The wine we chose back in 2012 was Banco 2011 Red Wine. It was worth the 10 year wait! The sweet grape is veryforward, but as the wine sits on the tongue, the roasty oak comes through. There's something that lingers afterswallowing...tannins, coffee? I'm no wine expert by any stretch, but I know when my taste buds are thrilled, and they were! This is an excellent, full-bodied wine, and it has aged well. ???????? Read more
It's Christmas Market season Saturdays & Sundays in November and December! There's a nice little selection of vendors in the... piazza and Great Hall, plus an extra food station in the Great Hall. Il Forno is also open for sit-down meals, but definitelymake a reservation. Absolutely stunning location with delicious food and friendly, knowledgeable service. This is as close toTuscany as you can get in the Midwest. The food was mouthwatering, authentic Italian served indoors or on the large courtyardpatio. The wine tasting room is a very fun experience, 4 wines for $5 - you choose 3, and the sommelier chooses the 4th. Askabout the unique process for making ice wine! While this is high quality wine for the Midwest, it is not on par with Italianwine by any stretch of the imagination. There were some wines we enjoyed and ended up buying by the bottle, but others were justtoo acidic for our taste. Still, we definitely plan to be back. It's well worth a visit, and would also be a phenomenal locationfor special events. The property is rapidly expanding with several smaller buildings currently under construction. Read more
Phenomenal spot! First wines I've had from the Midwest area that I found to be highly drinkable. Love La Crescent and Cotes de... Pepin(amongst others). The details that went into the piazza were extensive. The tastings are a good time with healthy pours,and the food is great too...we had the cheese plate (highly recommend), 2 pizzas, a panini, and a salad over two separatevisits. All tasty! Great spot, makes you feel like you're on a mini vacation! Read more
Villa Bellezza is an absolutely incredible wedding venue! I LOVE photographing there! The ceremony site is large and makes for... epic photos. The vineyard is stunning and conveniently located right next to where couples get ready. The staff is friendly andhelpful! If you are looking for an Italy feeling wedding without leaving the Wisconsin/Minnesota area, I couldn't recommendVilla Bellezza more highly!! Read more
