Minnesota Wineries

You 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.

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.

Minnesota winery 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.

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.

Here is a list of some of the most popular Minnesota wineries and the towns near them:

Minnesota Wineries Forestedge Winery: If you're traveling to the "North Country" of Minnesota to visit the Park Rapids, Walker or Bemidji vacation area, or perhaps a visit to Itasca State Park, you will be very close to the Forestedge Winery. Located on the edge of the Paul Bunyan State Forest, Forestedge Winery features dry to semi-dry International Award Winning Minnesota fruit wine. No grapes. Visit our free wine tasting room and then tour the winery. Wine is available by the glass or bottle on site or by the bottle or case to take with you.

*A note from the Visit Minnesota Webmaster: We were excited to be able to order Forestedge Wine Online. We've shared these unique wines with friends and family and all agree they are wonderfully tasty!
