About Winery and Wines
Parallel 44 Vineyard & Winery was started in 2005, by husband and wife team, Steve Johnson and Maria Milano. For Steve and Maria, wine was a passion that turned into a celebration of our local grape growing and wine making industry. Steve grew up in Green Bay, Wisconsin where his father Carl experimented early on with growing grapes in Wisconsin. Maria grew up in Stevens Point, Wisconsin where her Italian born father continued his tradition of making wine for friends and family celebrations. Both developed an early appreciation and love for wine! Steve and Maria met while in school at Madison and then attended law school together. While working as attorneys, they attended seminars on grape growing in Wisconsin. After searching for a site with the perfect soil, sun exposure and temperatures for growing grapes, they found their Parallel 44 site in 2005. As soon as they purchased the land, they began to plant vines. Today there are approximately 7000 vines or 10 acres of grapes planted, with the goal of planting up to 25 acres. Parallel 44 was built in 2006 and opened on Memorial Day weekend in 2007. Since then, they attribute their success to their dedicated customers, whose support has allowed Parallel 44 to grow and expand each year.
