Minnesota WineriesYou might be surprised to know that you can visit Minnesota wineries and taste Minnesota wines that are crafted from our own Minnesota grown fresh fruit.
Many visitors to Minnesota are delighted to discover our thriving wine-growing industry. A favorite romantic date often includes a visit to a Minnesota Winery. Minnesota's early autumn frosts cut our growing season short which has led to the development of hardy grape varieties that can be harvested early, and that can also survive our Minnesota winters. One reason that Minnesota vineyards are possible is that Minneapolis lies at the same 45 degrees north latitude as does the Bordeaux wine region in France. Like the Bordeaux region, Minnesota summers are sunny and warm and we usually have plenty of rainfall. Find a Minnesota Winery to Visit
There are Minnesota wineries in many parts of the state, including at least one that is as far north as Bemidji. More of our vineyards are found in the southern part of the state among the rolling hills and bluffs.
