Wetherby Cranberry Company, Warrens, WI

Friday, October 4, 2025 We will be traveling to the Chula Vista on Friday afternoon. If

enough people go on Friday and would be interested in meeting for dinner, please

mark the registration form. Saturday, October 5, 2025 It’s harvesting season for the

cranberries! And we are going to visit a cranberry bog that is in the process of

harvesting their cranberries! The Wetherby family has over 100 years of experience!

And the third generation along with their children are proud to call this a truly family

owned and operated marsh in the heart of cranberry country. Wetherby’s has had a

presence selling their fresh, hand sorted cranberries at the farmer’s market to kick off

the fall harvest season. Harvest season is always the first weekend in October. For the

Wetherby’s, growing cranberries is more than a job, it’s their way of life! They also

have a market of cranberry goodies! Cost of the museum and he waders for the

cranberry bogs is $20 per person. Our next stop will be the Discover Cranberries

Museum. The museum showcases the cranberry growing heritage. The museum is

housed in the lower level of the current building which was built in 1900 and used for

many years as a cranberry warehouse. The upper floor has a Cranberry Country Café

and Gift Shop. The gift shop features Wisconsin-made food products, like cranberry

mustard, salsa, jams and candies along with cranberry wines from several Wisconsin

wineries. There is also an old-fashioned ice cream parlor including cranberry ice

cream! After visiting the museum and their gift shop, we’ll go a short distance to lunch

at The Pines restaurant. After lunch we’ll stop at the Carr Valley Cheese Factory and

Retail shop in Moushon. I’m sure we’ll be bringing back some good cheese for snacks

later in the day or to take home. At this location we might even be able to watch

cheese being made through a viewing window! After our day of exploring Cranberries

and cheeses, we’ll head back to the Chula Vista and have a nice dinner still to be

determined Sunday, October 6 After a nice breakfast at the resort’s Kilbourne City

Grill, we will head to the Original Ducks for a morning one hour ride through the Dells.

The Duck ride is a one hour, half-land and half-water adventure featuring the most

scenic parts of Wisconsin Dells, including the Wisconsin River, Dell Creek, Lake Delton

and the Dells Scenic Park! Should be a fun ride so remember to bring a jacket along

as the temps may be a bit cooler in October! Cost of the Duck ride is $31 per person.

After the Duck ride, we’ll head back to the hotel to check out and then head to lunch

on the way home. Resort Info: Chula Vista Resort 1000 Chula Vista
