Best Kept Secret

Shhh, we have a few cool things to tell you about, but try and keep them to yourself if you can (they’re pretty awesome). The Devil’s Punchbowl (410th St., Menomonie) features a 45-foot tall, natural rock amphitheater and waterfall. It’s beautiful at all times of the year, turning into a frozen wonderland during the chilly Wisconsin winter months. Second is the Bemis Bluff Winery (E2960 Hageness Road, Eleva) which has a great selection of custom-made wines and other attractions to partake in. Closing out the top three list is The Luminary Wellness Center (714 S. Barstow St., Eau Claire), a wellness business that features services such as a Sensory Reduction Float Pod and an Infrared Sauna. It’s a gem in the Chippewa Valley we hope readers flock to in 2022. –Matthew Morgan
