Winter Wanderlust

Experience Wintertime Merriment on the Peninsula

Winter in Door County is a special time. Sure, the temperatures drop, snow falls, and ice forms on just about everything. But those crisp, freezing temperatures can invigorate the soul, the snow can remind you to slow down and appreciate the beauty of simple things, and that pesky ice can create some truly stunning and otherworldly views. Winter’s cold doesn’t stop us from celebrating the holidays, hosting seasonal festivals, exploring the great outdoors, or eating well at top restaurants—and it shouldn’t stop you either.
