The story of our Minnesota winery near Minneapolis!
Fall 2018 marked our venture into the world of wine. We chose to designate 12 acres of the farmland as our “terroir”, or what the French call a given spot with the right conditions to produce distinctive wines.
In the Spring of 2019, we planted 700 vines for phase one. We planted two cold hardy vines that will produce a red Marquette and a white Itasca grape.
In Spring 2020, we planted an additional 800 vines as part of phase two. We planted five cold hardy varieties that will produce a red Frontenac Noir, and 4 white varieties; Frontenac Gris, Prairie Star, Frontenac Blanc and LaCrescent grapes.
In Spring 2021, we will plant our final 800 vines to complete phase three. Our winemaker will be busy test-producing our new wines. We can’t wait to produce award winning wines grown from our estate vineyard in Grant, Minnesota.
In spring 2022, we will open up the winery and tasting room!
