About Our Wines

We've created a family of wines that has something for wine lovers... and wine likers. We're proud to say that our wines are based on Minnesota hybrid varieties, such as St. Pepin, LaCrosse and Frontenac, to name a few. Like most Minnesotans, these grapes survive our tough winters in good spirits, and show plenty of character as a result.

PLEASE NOTE:

Due to government restrictions we cannot ship to all 50 states! Please review our Online Order Requirements before placing an order.
