Helioterra Wines and Whoa Nelly Wines in Door County, Wisconsin
Anne Ebenreiter Hubatch grew up in Sheboygan and attended college at UW – Madison and studied Geology and Environmental Studies. She spent many summers as a kid in Door County and has returned annually for the past decade to bring her children up to visit in summers. Her family has a condo in Ephriam.
After college, Anne moved out west to Oregon and got involved in the wine industry. After nearly a decade gaining wine production experience under other winemakers, she launched her own winery in 2009. The brand name, Helitoerra is inspired by her geologic studies and is named after the Oregon State Gemstone, The Heliolite; also called the sun stone. She does not own vineyards, and instead works with grape growers all over the Pacific Northwest to contract premium grapes for winemaking. These wines are all small batch and hand crafted. Anne is a celebrated winemaker with numerous national and regional accolades.
In 2010, she launched a second brand, Whoa Nelly Wines! This brand is the more affordable and fun side of Anne’s production. This brand offers delicious wines at a price that meets every day wine needs. With a more playful name, Whoa Nelly aims to take the ego out of wine and treat it like the everyday beverage that it is.
Our Door County Vision:
In opening our winery wine bar/tasting room in Door County, we aim to tell the story of ‘Wisconsin girl comes home’ to share her passion of winemaking with the great people of Wisconsin. Door County has grown as a destination location and wine tourism is on the rise. We aim to contribute to the Door County wine community and welcome tourists who want to take a moment to break from their activities and enjoy a flight of wine… and take some home with them! We will also offer a variety of snacks for our guests to enjoy with their wine. You will also find an array of gifts and fancy food items from the Pacific Northwest!
We look forward to sharing Oregon wines with our Door County guests. In opening our location, we will be the only winery on the peninsula to feature wines from Oregon. We look forward to sharing them with you!
