About Our Shop & Products
Vintage Elkhart Lake - Est. 2012
Vintage Elkhart Lake is owned and operated by an award-winning Certified Sommelier who personally hand-selects every bottle on our shelves. Our thoughtfully curated collection features more than 250 wines from around the world, with over 100 bottles priced under $14.99!
Whether you’re searching for a special bottle for a celebration or an easy-drinking wine for dinner, we’re here to help you find the perfect match for your palate, pocketbook, and occasion. If there’s a wine you love that we don’t currently carry, we’re happy to special order it at no extra cost if it’s distributed in Wisconsin.
Beyond wine, you’ll find a carefully selected assortment of craft beer, spirits, Wisconsin artisan cheeses and chocolates, cigars, gourmet foods, wine accessories, and unique gifts – making Vintage a one-stop shop for entertaining or for treating yourself while you’re in the Elkhart Lake area – whether catching a race at Road America, checking out one of the amazing local restaurants, or relaxing by our beautiful lake!
The Wine-O-Matic Wine Lounge
A visit to Vintage isn’t complete without experiencing our Wine-O-Matic Wine Lounge. This self-serve wine tasting system allows guests to explore a rotating lineup of wines by the taste, half glass, or full glass, giving you the opportunity to sample bottles from around the world before committing to a full bottle.
It’s the perfect way to discover new favorites, compare styles, or simply relax with a glass in a comfortable lounge setting while visiting Elkhart Lake.
We Love Local
Supporting local businesses is at the heart of what we do. We proudly partner with local Wisconsin producers like Indulgence Chocolatiers, Palo Popcorn, and cheesemakers from the Wisconsin – including Deer Creek, Sartori, Marieke Gouda, & The Big Cheese. Supporting local businesses is of utmost importance to us, so we also work closely with the Elkhart Lake Chamber of Commerce and Plymouth Chamber of Commerce, local restaurants, and other local artisans to bring you the best that our region has to offer.
Olive Oil & Vinegar
Our olive oils and vinegars are bottled in-store, so you can be sure that it is fresh and top-quality. All of the oils are 100% extra virgin (first pressing), so they are full of flavor & antioxidants. Our selections change regularly, so if there is a flavor you love, be sure to let us know!
