The area is known for its stunning views, charming riverside communities and must-stop food destinations like pizza farms. In the Driftless area — a swath of Wisconsin untouched by the earth-shaping powers of the glaciers during the last Ice Age — wineries, breweries and cheesemakers speckle a landscape of undulating hills, sandstone cliffs and meandering river valleys.
