Planning the Perfect Bachelorette Party

Happy Valentine’s Day! When love is in the air, it’s the perfect time to start planning a bachelorette party for the bride-to-be. Door County is one of the best destinations in Wisconsin for a bachelorette party with the girls, with a range of activities that everyone will enjoy. Check out all of the amazing things you can do together for the perfect party!

Sip, Sip, Hooray!

Did you know that Door County is home to ten wineries? Winemakers have found success growing orchards and vineyards in the peninsula as it’s positioned halfway between the equator and the North Pole, providing the perfect conditions for growing grapes and other produce—like Door County’s renowned cherries!

Tour the Door County Wine Trail and sample each winery’s unique wines, locally grown and produced with cherries and other fruit. If you would like to have a chauffeur to guide you (and spare you a designated driver), check out the Door County Trolley’s selection of winery tours! The Wine, Chocolate, & Artisan Cheese Tour features award-winning wines, cheese, and handmade decadent chocolates, a luxurious experience for both your tastebuds and your bachelorette party! The Wine, Spirits, & Brew Tour is another popular favorite, where you can taste your way through Door County’s spirits scene at a local winery, distillery, and brewery, finishing the tour with a hearty lunch and dessert!

Explore the Outdoors

Door County is surrounded by natural beauty and wonder, with five state parks, over 300 miles of shoreline, and beautiful forestry for you to traverse! Spend time on the water in Lake Michigan with a guided kayak tour. Paddle alongside the rocky bluffs and take in the gorgeous scenery from the water. At Door County Kayak Tours, you can access underwater caves and coves at Cave Point County Park, a breathtaking and fun experience that you won’t forget!

If you’re looking to relax, book a sunset boat or sailboat tour outside of Sister Bay. The setting sun over the water and rugged shoreline will provide the perfect photo opportunities to capture your trip! Plus, you can bring your own food and beverages on board, so grab a bottle of wine and a takeout pizza from Wild Tomato to split between the girls, and enjoy the ride.

Shop ‘Til You Drop!

Fish Creek is the shopping center of Door County, with twelve shops located in Founder’s Square, the original cottages that housed visitors in the 1800s. Beyond those classic shops are dozens more boutiques, gift stores, and clothiers all within walking distance! Grab a coffee or ice cream and stroll the square with your friends, perusing a variety of jewelry, candy, books, décor, and so much more. Find the perfect gift for your bride-to-be and fellow bridesmaids that will commemorate your bachelorette party!

While Fish Creek is known for its shopping, there are plenty of other stores in the nearby villages as well. In case of poor weather, check out Egg Harbor’s Main Street Shops, a collection of 19 shops all located in two buildings just mere steps from each other. From fashion accessories to skincare and beauty products to artwork to gourmet foods, you’re sure to find something you and your friends will love!

Dine & Wine (Again)

Make reservations for dinner at a high-end restaurant with a wide selection of locally sourced food and beverages. End your night at the Carrington, which features award-winning entrees such as our Door County cherry ribs and classic Wisconsin fish fry. From floor-to-ceiling windows, enjoy one of the best views of the sun sinking over the bay with a cocktail in hand.

If you want an even closer look at the sunset from a waterfront restaurant, check out Waterfront Restaurant—literally! This restaurant in Sister Bay has an unrivalled view of the marina, giving you front-row seats to Door County’s stunning sunsets. The menu is just as spectacular, offering a wide array of salads, seafood, small plates, and sweets. The wine list is equally impressive, with over 200 wines to choose from!

Your Home Away From Home

There’s no place like home in Door County than the Landmark Resort, the perfect place for you and your friends to rest and relax after a successful bachelorette party. All of our comfortable suites feature either a view of Door County’s pristine forestry or a panoramic scene of the water below, with a balcony or patio where you can step outside and enjoy the peace and tranquility for yourself. Each suite also has a kitchen stocked with cooking supplies, a full-size refrigerator, a stove, a microwave, a toaster, a coffee bar, and a dining area, in case you want to stock up on snacks or make your own homecooked meals. Choose from a private, cozy one-bedroom suite to a spacious three-bedroom, two-bathroom suite where you can all stay together! Find the perfect suite for you and the rest of your party with our virtual tours.

Take advantage of our amenities while you relax, such as in our hot tubs and saunas located in each lodging building. Take a dip in our indoor pool open 24/7, or lounge under the summer sun by one of our two heated outdoor pools overlooking the bright blue bay. Play a fun game of shuffleboard or pickleball with your friends—with free equipment available for checkout at the front desk—or take a hike on our manicured trails that will lead you down the bluff. Pick out a movie or board game from our library to take back to your suite for a cozy night in, or sit by the fireplace in our lobbies and admire the incredible view of the bay from our floor-to-ceiling windows.
