From 5:00 to 8:00pm, we are delighted to welcome you in the barn to sample wines for the weekly thematic tasting, order a glass (or a beer) from our
curated list, take a deep dive into our bottle list with our resident sommelier, or even select bottles from our retail selection to take home with you.

What is Vingård?
Vingård is Four Winds Farm’s monthly wine club. The name Vingård, inspired by Wisconsin’s Scandinavian heritage, translates to “vineyard,” but also carries the literal meaning of “wine farm”—a concept that captures the idea of wine and agriculture existing in dialogue with each other. After the success of the wine club, we are now expanding to offer our members and guests additional wine experiences at Four Winds Farm.
Join multi-talented local artist, Jaroslava Sobiskova, for a Spring Needle Felting Class. In this engaging class, you'll learn the art of needle felting to create stunning pieces to display in your home. You'll learn how to manipulate wool fibers with a barbed needle to create texture, depth, and detail. You'll get the choice of learning on a trivet or a set of two coasters. No prior experience is necessary, and all materials will be provided. Join us and unleash your creativity as you craft your own unique piece of felted art!
*Fee: $45 (includes materials)
*Space is limited to 24 participants.
*All sales final; we do not issue refunds.
ABOUT THE INSTRUCTOR
A native of the Czech Republic, Sobiskova came to the United States in 1986 seeking a life of greater artistic freedom than was possible in Communist-ruled Czechoslovakia. Earning a BFA degree from the University of Wisconsin in 1993, Sobiskova returned to the Czech Republic to participate in that country’s working as an artistic consultant for the Civic Forum Foundation there for one year. She later returned to the US and operated a private gallery in Chicago while doing commission work in painting and murals. She later settled in Madison, Wisconsin with her family, where the rural setting and rolling hills remind her of her native Bohemia. She continues to receive accolades for her award-winning work. Jaroslava learned this egg-decorating method growing up in Czechoslovakia. Jaroslava will talk about the history of recoloring, regional traditions, and tools that are used to create a variety of effects.
Four Winds Farm is now offering yoga classes on Monday evenings with instructor Hally Oliver. Enjoy the peaceful farm setting and start your week the best way possible with one of these choices:
5:00PM: Slow Flow yoga is a steadily paced, mindful modality that incorporates breathwork with focused powerful movements. This class will build strength, energize your body, increasing flexibility + range of motion through deep stretches. Each session includes foundational yoga poses, with special attention to balance, breath and alignment through longer holds. Come break a sweat! Slow Flow is appropriate for all levels of yoga experience and particularly accessible for beginners.
6:15PM: Gentle Restorative yoga works deeply into the muscles, joints and spine. Experience long holds of grounding postures, easing into calm stillness. The mode is rest and digest, attend and befriend. You’ll leave feeling relaxed, refreshed, and elongated after every class. This practice is accessible for all levels and especially recommended to balance more intense workouts, a busy lifestyle or stress.
Hally Oliver has been teaching yoga in Madison for 15 years. She aims to help you build a sustainable movement practice that includes pleasure, inspiration and creativity.
CorePower Yoga Chicago is where she received training and certification through Yoga Alliance. That was enough for big city life. She's more at home on the farm with her horse or out in the woods with her dogs and family.
Before yoga, she completed the 750-hour program at Lakeside School of Massage Therapy, graduated from UW- La Crosse, and worked briefly in the enlisted ranks of the US Army.
Her wish is to guide you through sequences that create strength, relieve pain and remind you of your good heart. She believes yoga leads us to community through harmony.
Learn how you can Curd it Yourself! Join expert Ian Kozaczek, Licensed Cheese Maker and Cheese Researcher, as he facilitates a hands-on cheese making experience.
Participants will learn about the fundamentals of cheese in a fun, informal group environment. They will learn how to make three different types of homestyle cheese – Mozzarella, Ricotta, and Mysost – that can be recreated in their own kitchens. The class will offer taste-tests, recipes, connections, and the opportunity to engage with a certified cheese enthusiast and extraordinaire!
About the Instructor:
Ian is a Licensed Cheese Maker and a Certified Pasteurizer. He first started his cheesemaking journey outside of the 'make room'. Ian was a cheesemonger for over 6 years before dipping his hands into a vat.
Originally from New England, Ian had always heard of America's Dairyland, but didn't fully understand what that meant until moving to Madison 4 years ago. As the manager of the Madison staple, Fromagination, he was introduced to many world renowned, artisanal cheese makers and realized that he'd be honored to join their ranks. Ian now works at the Center For Dairy Research as a Cheese Researcher. Now, almost daily, he discovers some new quality or characteristic of a cheese (while getting to eat plenty of it too). Ian is excited to share his knowledge while teaching classes at Four Winds!
Four Winds Farm’s sommelier James Juedes will lead an
engaging tasting of Pinot Noir from Santa Barbara, California. Explore the
fascinating, varied terroir, and learn about the producers who are able to
express it through their wines. This cool climate region often draws
comparisons to Burgundy, the region we will visit in June’s wine dinner. Book
seats for both to experience two unique, but equally compelling, expressions of
Pinot Noir.
This tasting is presented seminar-style. Guests are asked to
arrive promptly at 6pm.
How does it work?
If you'd like to participate in the tasting, please reserve
tickets in advance on this page. This wine tasting is $50 per guest and will
highlight top tier bottles from the chosen region. You are welcome to stay
after the seminar to enjoy additional wines by the glass or bottle. Wines will
also be available for retail purchase. Email us at info@fourwindsfarmfitchburg.com with
any questions.

We are delighted to announce that James Juedes has joined the Four Winds Farm team as our new sommelier! James is a star of the local wine and hospitality scene (Amara, Casetta, L’Etoile) with a deep knowledge of the beverage world and a passion for sharing it with guests. He will be a regular fixture at upcoming wine events: tasting, pop-ups, seminars, dinners, and much more. This dinner in May is built around his ideas of how to construct a menu and how he thinks of beverage pairings. We look forward to seeing you all to help welcome James to Four Winds Farm.
A note from James:
Just like food, there is a natural progression to the enjoyment of beverages throughout the course of a meal. Join us Thursday, May 21 and be a part of the process as we break down food and beverage pairings. You’ll get to enjoy five dishes designed to accompany five different wine and spirit pairings and talk through the methodology as we go. While there are tried and true approaches, this is less about what’s right or wrong and more about maximizing enjoyment. We hope to see you there for another fun evening on the farm!
