Nestled within the embrace of a 160-year-old building in the heart of downtown Wausau, Venado provides an elegant and welcoming atmosphere where you can come in and calm down
after a long day or just for pleasure.
We are proud to serve a finely curated selection of wines and spirits, as well as delicious local craft beers. The wine list is a journey through time and terroirs, featuring an array of varietals and vintages from around the world, each with a story to tell and people who loved it before we did.
Our menu features small plate dishes, gourmet cheeses, charcuterie, and artisanal bread, each carefully chosen to complement the wines and enhance your overall tasting experience.
Settle into the sofa for intimate conversations with friends and contemplative sips of wine. Or grab a comfy stool and join us at the bar, a gorgeous 16-foot-long slab of white oak, locally harvested and lovingly installed in Venado.
Venado is the perfect spot for private events. We are happy to cater your event or work with your caterer of choice.
