Monday Road-Trip to Orchard Country Winery & Market: $20

Trip Cost: $20

What This Includes: Gas from Green Bay to Orchard Country (located in Fish Creek) along with six free wine samplings per person plus free samples, depending on the day and time you go there.

Why I Love It: Lautenbach's Orchard Country Winery & Market is a fantastic place to visit. The essential to budget travel is to plan onward. When it comes along to family trips, globetrotting, well-deserved trips and/or going to see new places we have never been before, the reality of expense and budgeting is generally in the back of our minds. Planning and expending our travel budget properly is a main concern for most families. Lowering consuming and prices, while still taking pleasure in your vacation to its fullest, is the key to confirmed accomplishment and fiscal responsibility. Your pocketbook and family will thank you! The thinking regarding economizing money while traveling is simple: Even if your personal finances is highly tight, you can still take a break and enjoy life! Simply put, life is just too short to never step out of the door or leaving the homestead! Also keeping in mind that while traveling, whether on a resources or not, even the smallest of things can all add op to a big vacation or travel bill!. I haven't had the opportunity to go on one of their tours, however, their market has enough to keep me occupied for hours. The drive up there from Green Bay is also gorgeous around this time of the year.

• Wine: You're able to taste six different kinds of wine per person soif you're lucky enough to go with a person you don't mind swapping spit with, you can essentially try twelve or more if it's a big group. If you findwine you like (I highly recommend their winter wines right now), most bottles of wine are right around $10 so it's a great deal. If you buy 6 or 12, there are also discounts per bottle.
• Food: Orchard Country has all different kinds of food. Cheese, soups, bread mixes, candies, chocolates, jams, pie fillings, salsas, and much more. Some of the prices can be on the higher side, however, the food that I've had from them is delicious so I can't blame them. I hate cherries, but I love their Medium Cherry Salsa which can be found for $7.95.
• Other Items: Along with generous amounts of wine and food, they also have many other items that can be great for gifts or even yourself. Cheese trays, kitchen gadgets, magnets, wine racks, cooking utensils, decorations and more.

So while the weather is still warm, make sure to take a trip up to Orchard Country. It's a gorgeous drive under 2 hours, a fun place to visit, and hasincredibly reasonable pricing. However, if you're too busy to drive up there, they do allow you to buyonline. You must be 21 years or older and someone 21 years or older must sign for the package upon delivery. They can ship to businesses as well.
