“Helix Wine, Craft Bar & Café is a vibrant and unique destination in the Chippewa Valley, offering an atmosphere that blends sophistication with community warmth. Helix brings a distinctive concept to the area by creating a "third space"—a place that isn’t home or work but a welcoming environment where anyone can unwind, connect, and experience exceptional service. Co-owned by Kristin Waldow, Lisa Ornstein, and Scott Westphal, Helix offers a diverse menu of craft cocktails, wines by the glass, beers, Peet's coffee and tea, and an all-day food menu designed to complement its vast beverage selection.”
