We love Wild Tomato Pizza anywhere, but the Sister Bay location is our favorite! Situated right on the water, it offers both indoor and outdoor seating. Kids (and parents!) will enjoy the park and beach right next to the restaurant. It's less than 1 mile from The Sister Bay Haus and 4 miles from The Ephraim House! Local tip: Arrive early to snag a spot on the patio and enjoy the beautiful sunset views over the bay while you dine!

It doesn't get more local than this, folks. Hatch Distilling nurtures their spirits from the ground up, literally! From Chris' beginnings working in the poultry industry raising laying hens, "hatched" the idea for a local distillery distilling spirits from the honey of their home grown hives. The corn and rye used in their craft spirits is grown down the road, and it shows. Sip a refreshing cocktail on their patio in the summer, and take some home for later. (Local Tip: Try a Bloody Mary to start your day, topped by a locally "hatched" hard boiled egg, of course!)

Open year round, we love stopping in at Skip Stone for a beautifully crafted beverage to enjoy as we chat with friends in the tastefully decorated upper loft - or as we stroll the waterfront in Sister Bay! Highly recommend!
