On the drive from Sioux Falls we noticed multiple signs for Firehouse Brewery. Each sign had an old antique fire truck parked by it. The signs said it was a brewery and winery. Intrigued, we headed into Rapid City to check it out and do some shopping while in town. The Firehouse is in an old firehouse from the early 1900s. They have a brewery with a restaurant, a gift shop and a Wine Tasting room. We stopped in the restaurant first to get something on our stomachs and to try their brews. The food and beer were excellent! Then we wandered on over to the wine tasting room. We did a wine sampling of their reds and some of their whites and were very surprised! They were nice wines. Most of the wines are made with grapes brought in from the west coast since the Dakota winters are pretty harsh for grape vines. But they did have a couple of wines made only with cold hearty grapes from South Dakota that were interesting. So, we ended up buying half a case to take back to Texas.
