Timber Hill Winery

What Timber Hill Winery does

Timber Hill Winery is a privately-held, women-run boutique winery founded in 2016 in Milton, Wisconsin, between Madison and Janesville. The company produces more than 40 wine varieties from grapes sourced from multiple growers across Wisconsin, including signature offerings such as an award-winning Muscat, an extra spicy Jalapeno wine, the Social Sweet Series, and Estate Collection wines. Core products cover red, white, fruit-forward, and specialty wines, alongside the Herd Wine Club subscription program and curated services such as the Behind the Vines guided tasting. Winemaking production relies on regionally sourced grapes from Wisconsin growers; the company does not disclose proprietary technical platforms and operates with no disclosed AI/ML stack.

The business operates an exclusively direct-to-consumer model with three revenue streams: on-site tasting-room sales at 8220 N John Paul Road (open seven days a week), an online shop supporting pickup and local delivery, and the Herd Wine Club monthly subscription with non-expiring accrued bottles and member benefits. Complementary revenue comes from on-site food service (homemade pizzas, sandwiches, Wisconsin cheese boards, Sunday brunch buffet), private event and dome rentals, and a ticketed events program that includes paint-and-sip workshops, trivia nights, yoga, charity events, psychic readings, and bouquet brunches. Pricing is a blend of subscription (wine club), unit pricing ($25–$85 events), and one-time purchases (wine bottles and food).

Timber Hill relocated to its current, expanded tasting room in September 2023, and founder-owner Amanda Stefl leads the operation with a 1–10 employee footprint. Distribution is purely DTC with no wholesale or third-party retail; the company has no disclosed funding, parent entity, or subsidiaries, and is positioned as a community-anchored, local-viticulture brand targeting Wisconsin wine enthusiasts, social groups, and event customers.
