About Me
Allan Hyland and Emily Butteris Hyland are the dynamic husband-and-wife duo at the heart of Door Peninsula Winery, a beloved staple of Wisconsin's wine scene since 1974. Based in the scenic Door County region, the winery—housed in a charming historic schoolhouse in Carlsville—has grown into the state's largest producer of fruit and grape wines, crafting over 50 varieties that celebrate the area's bountiful orchards and cold-hardy grapes. With a portfolio spanning innovative fruit-grape blends like Blackberry Merlot and Cranbernet (cranberry-Cabernet Sauvignon), as well as meads and ciders, the Hylands have pioneered a distinctly Wisconsinian approach to winemaking, emphasizing local ingredients and minimal intervention to highlight terroir.
