Green Acres is honored to receive the 2025 Wine Spectator Award of Excellence. For the fourth year in a row, our Wine List has been recognized for its well-chosen wines. We focus on value, variety and quality so that you can explore great wines at an accessible price. We have more than 30 wines by the glass and 125 by the bottle, many at substantially lower prices than you’ll find in other restaurants. Our wine program has grown out of our appreciation for Sauk Prairie’s past and present rooted in wine making, and our commitment to excellent food, drinks and service.
In addition to our full regular menu and nightly specials, we offer a Chef’s Features Menu. These special appetizers and dishes are created by our chef using fresh, seasonal and local ingredients. Menu subject to change. Current chef’s features available through March 12, 2026:

Green Acres is built upon land developed in the 1840s by Agoston Haraszthy, a Hungarian immigrant born into nobility and known as The Count. He is often credited as the Father of California Wine. That journey began here in Sauk Prairie, along the Wisconsin River. Leaving Hungary, Harazsthy settled here with his family, established a ferry crossing, riverboat, brick yard and experimented with grapevines.
In 1849 he left Wisconsin, traveled to California, and continued to seek the best land for growing grapes. He embarked on a journey through Europe, researching and collecting over a thousand vine cuttings and sending them to California. He then meticulously recorded the many trials and errors of growing grapes on his own Sonoma vineyard.
Our wine list is designed for you to explore and enjoy. With over 40 wines by the glass and 120 bottle selections, you are sure to discover wines to suit your spirit.

The original property, now known as Green Acres, was constructed in the late 1800s. The building has been used for many different businesses, including a stagecoach resting area, general store, tavern, dance hall and many different styles of restaurants. In the 1930s, Jack Hammerli acquired the building, and from the late 1930s until 1972 it was known as River Tavern or Jack’s Riverside Inn. Leonard and Evelyn Breunig managed the establishment between 1936 – 1946. For over three decades, Jack and Leone “Frenchy” built its reputation as one of Sauk Prairie’s finest places to gather and enjoy a night out. In 1972, Maynard and Delores Wood bought the supper club. Woody and Dolly successfully ran Wood’s Riverside Inn for thirteen years before selling it. In 1986, Ted and Amy Klein began managing the newly named Green Acres and took over ownership in 1990. With a dedicated staff they continued building its success and reputation for excellence for thirty remarkable years. In May of 2017 Dan and Kris Cunningham purchased the property to continue its wonderful history of great food, an old-fashioned friendly gathering place, and service to community.
