It all started back in 1989

Ann Marie's was established 1989 in Minocqua, WI, the stunning and rustic northern lake region of Wisconsin. Inspired by her Italian Grandmother, Ann Marie opened her small shop with Grandma Mary Pasta Pezzi in mind. Ann Marie's husband Stephan joined her in the 90's and is from Switzerland. Through him they have traveled in Europe and found inspiration for their store and website. Now more than ever, holding on to those special ties to Europe is so important to Ann Marie.

A Note From Ann Marie

European travel inspires me. The sights, sounds, beauty, and lifestyles are etched in my heart and I have captured the best moments for you to enjoy in a selection of European coffees, teas, handmade pottery, and gifts. This website is a quiet haven, a sanctuary for browsing. Capture your European moment. Visit our Chalet Shop for a fine European Experience in Minocqua Wisconsin. I know you'll be inspired. ~ Ann Marie
