    A hillside tasting room on Clam Lake Road that the owners built themselves — mosaic floors, a rustic wood staircase, and a 25-foot cupola looking down over Lake Bellaire toward Torch Lake. Estate wines and hard ciders come with a rotating spread of local cheese and artisan food. Open until 9 p.m. most nights, later than most tasting rooms in the area — the deck is the seat to ask for at sunset.
