Wickman House Is Most Romantic Restaurant In Wisconsin

It’s that time of year where we start thinking about ways to show our partners we love them. Even if you’re not a Valentine devotee, February is still a great time to plan a date. The winter blues are here hardcore and we’re all a little stir crazy, sick of the snow and cold and not exactly feeling our best. Setting a date with the one you love is one way to break out of the doldrums, shake off the winter funk and rekindle a little love for each other. One of the very best places to do that is at Wickman House in Ellison Bay. This charming farmhouse dates to 1872 and has enjoyed many different lives as an eatery and bed and breakfast. Today, Wickman House (named for the original owner of the property) has returned to its farm roots with a stellar restaurant sourced not just from local farms, but from the garden plot right on site. It’s a fabulous homage to the history of the location and makes for one of the coziest, most delicious dining experiences in Wisconsin.

This charming and adorable spot is just up the road from the little inlet at Ellison Bay near the top of Door County's peninsula. It's a rambling old farmhouse first built in 1872 by Andrew Wickman after he emigrated from Sweden. The house has been open to the community since 1921 as a lodge and restaurant of various iterations.

Surrounded by beautiful nature, in the warmer months you'll see tons of greenery and feel a welcoming seclusion to the spot.

In the winter, you'll love how they light up the grounds and give the bare branches and sparkling snow an ethereal glow. Everything here just feels magical. There's a feeling of escape and remoteness to Wickman House.

Inside, you'll find a welcoming fireplace that adds a cozy air to your meal. As an old farmhouse, there's a feeling of visiting old friends or family here that makes it feel comfortable and inviting.

The food here is stellar and highlights all the great bounty of the surrounding area. You'll find the freshest ingredients from local sources combined in unique and delicious ways that will leave you dreaming of your meal here.

These folks are so committed to local sourcing that they started growing their own produce right on site and many of their key ingredients come from right there. It's a commitment to the very best food that can be tasted in every bite.

Wickman House is the perfect place for a date, with a fabulous cocktail menu, stunning food, the best desserts and an atmosphere you won't find anywhere else. You'll feel welcomed in like family and you'll be able to relax and unwind in this unpretentious but totally fabulous spot.

End your meal with a decadent dessert and cocktail or wine and enjoy that you get to spend time together in such a serene and beautiful location.

Wickman House is a true gem of a spot way up in the north end of Door County. The atmosphere, staff and location all combine to make this one of the most romantic spots you've ever been.
