With 'Something for everyone', here are four more great reasons why you'll love your downtime in Door County: Luxury at White Lace Bed and Breakfast Door County is great for everything outdoors, but when when it comes to where to lay your head, I recommend luxury all the way. And at White Lace Bed and Breakfast the luxury is in every detail. A four-poster canopied bed wraps you in comfort, a wood-burning fireplace keeps you toasty in the dead of winter, and an en-suite whirlpool sets the scene for ultimate holiday relaxation. Eighteen suites mirror the outdoors in florals and bright garden colour. And if there's any doubt that you've found the perfect spot for Door County downtime, suite names will set you straight with names like Romantic Retreat, The Hideaway, and Royal Chamber. Don`t miss that essential part of your Bed and Breakfast experience - breakfast at White Lace is served by Innkeeper Dennis Statz with hot Door County coffee, and fresh-baked dishes with that favourite local ingredient-cherries. You won`t leave hungry with Cherry Almond French Toast on the menu!

This is the place for Specialty Class 1 Arabica coffee, roasted and flavoured on-site, and brewed to perfection. For a unique coffee-lovers experience, tour the 20,000 square foot facility and learn how Java gets to your cup from the sunny slopes of some far off land. The essential element is highlighted by owner Vickie Wilson's mantra: "From the best bean to the best taste in your cup!" You'll also enjoy Vickie's recipe for business success- happy employees who are passionate about their craft. Their T-shirts say it all: "20 years of coffee awesomeness!". My tour was most memorable for the clapping and cheers as a major order came through. What tourist can resist a smile when the employees are having such fun?! Touring and learning is hungry work and I highly recommend you breakfast at Door County Coffee and Tea`s country cafe. Hashbrown Bake, mango smoothies and more Java are a great start to another great day in Door County!

'Fruit-forward, balanced, food-friendly wines' are sourced from the counties cold-climate selection of Marquette, Vidal, and Frontenac grapes. Owner Steve Johnson turns tastings of 'Bubbler' and 'Sailor's Delight' into teachings with insight into the local terroir and Door 44 history. Most interestingly, I learn how Door 44 got its' name. It sits on a latitude of 44 degrees north which matches the great wine regions of Bordeaux, and Tuscany.
