Curious about the Behind the Vines guided tasting at Timber Hill Winery? Here’s everything you need to know before you book!
What is the Behind the Vines guided tasting?
Behind the Vines is a custom, guided wine tasting experience hosted at Timber Hill Winery. A knowledgeable wine guide leads you through four hand-selected wines chosen to highlight the diversity and character of the winery’s offerings.
The tasting comes with a curated charcuterie cone to pair with your wines and includes an educational video about the Timber Hill story — from the winemaker’s passion to how the wines are crafted.
Where does the experience take place?
Behind the Vines happens at Timber Hill Winery in Milton, Wisconsin, right off the main tasting room in a space called the Den.
Milton is centrally located between major Wisconsin hubs like Madison and Janesville, making this a great stop for travelers and locals exploring southern Wisconsin wine country.
How long does the experience last?
This guided tasting runs for approximately 45 minutes — a perfect blend of learning and sipping without taking up your whole day.
What makes it different from a regular wine tasting?

- Learn about each wine, not just try them.
- A wine guide explains flavor profiles and winemaking choices.
- You get a curated charcuterie cone pairing.
- You watch an educational video about the winery’s history and process.
Regular tastings at the bar don’t include these educational or pairing elements.

The wines are preselected by your guide, but you will be offered a choice between dry or sweet selections.
