The winery is situated on the site of a former orchard, preserving the history of the property. Originally planted as a certified-organic apple orchard by Dr. W. Dudley Johnson, the land was acquired by Kevin Behnke in 2002. What began as a hobby harvesting the property's hundreds of apple trees evolved into a professional winemaking endeavor. The tasting room, which features Behnke's personal craftsmanship, was renovated from an orchard garage storefront. The winery's offerings include a reserve collection and traditional, warm-climate wines made in Wisconsin.

Located on Fond du Lac Avenue, the winery is a short drive from Dheinsville Historic Park and Rockfield Elementary School. It is situated near the Rockfield Quarry Pond and Little League Park.

Apple Works Winery is recognized for its dedication to producing fine, handcrafted wines from America’s Heartland. The winery stands as a destination for those seeking unique, award-winning flavors and a warm, passion-driven tasting experience in Sussex.
