SAVOR
No trip to a Wisconsin city is complete without a stop at a brewery—or several. The Brewing Projekt offers an assortment of one-of-a-kind libations in a warehouse-style taproom. Visitors can gather for a game of kubb or simply enjoy some sips on the rooftop patio. For Bohemian and German-style refreshments, look no further than Lazy Monk Brewing, which features a bier garden overlooking the Chippewa River. For those looking for something a little different, consider visiting Infinity Beverages Winery & Distillery, where groups can rent out a private room and tour the facility.
EXPLORE
There’s no shortage of outdoor activities to enjoy year-round in Eau Claire. Spend a day hiking at Boyd Park or Lowes Creek County Park. Kayak Half Moon Lake, Dells Pond, or one of the area’s many rivers. In the fall, area apple orchards like Ferguson’s Orchards and The Glass Orchard provide visitors with a variety of autumnal activities. During the wintertime, the nearby Irvine Park Zoo transforms into a spectacular Christmas Village that visitors can walk or drive through as they marvel at more than 100,000 lights on display.
