Ann River Winery

What a fabulous find! We were on our way on the hwy headed south and saw the Ann River. Since my…read morename is Ann, we decided to make a u-turn and take a picture. Now facing north we saw the sign for the Ann River Winery. We stopped into the tasting room and found a happy crowd of folks there and a very friendly and helpful lady, who turned out to be the owner. It was "Cheesecake Sunday" so of course we had to try the cheesecake with our flights of wine. Very good cheesecake with the topping of our choice! They had a large selection of wines and we ended up buying a couple bottles as well as some merchandise. We had a very fun experience and loved hearing the story about origins of the winery. I highly recommend this winery!

While the winery wasn't as classy as some local vineyard I've visited, the space was clean, bright…read moreand modern...and the staff was 10 star from my experience! My brother and I decided to hit up all the places listed on the East Central Craft Beverage Trail so we could take notes for places to recommend at our family VRBO up there. We both tend to favor gourmet foodies and foreign red wine; but also really enjoy most of the local breweries and distilleries popping up in MN. We opted for 2 flights of the 6 samples for $6.50 (nice price!!) and compared notes with each other. While we both tend to not really go for white wines, the winner for us ended up being none other than Painted Lady, which was very much a white wine. The wines were better than some of the MN wineries that I've had (keep in mind, I have been a foreign red wine only kind of gal for years- so that is a high bar to meet!). There were a few that were a bit too sweet/syrupy but over all, I was pleased with the tasting and would even consider ordering a few by the glass. Random tidbit- they allow you to snow shoe or cross country ski by the vineyard if you'd like!

Deer Lake Winery - Good place to host a party!

We stopped in on a Saturday afternoon for wine tasting…read more We were greeted by the owner and he was pleasant. His wife, the owner/winemaker was there as well and stood up to greet us. I believe he said the wine tasting menu is split between wine with grapes they purchased to make wine, wine from other wineries and wine they make from their own grapes. We thought we should try the wines from their property because what is the point of trying wine from someone else. They also have a frozen wine we saw a few people stop in to purchase and people appeared to love it. We should have tried it! The wine flight was served in a little box with small plastic cups and a small souvenir wine glass. I feel terrible saying this but the wine was just terrible. We could barely finish the thimble size tasting of each wine. Perhaps we should have tried the wines they brought in or the frozen wine. They said the winery is up for sale. I hope it is purchased by someone who is passionate about winemaking and can make some delicious wine with the grapes from the property.

My aunties and I went to visit this newer winery in Wisconsin, just minutes across the border of…read moreMinnesota. Big lot and building, you can't miss it. There's 2 rooms when you enter, on the left is the tasting room and dining area. Huge bar to walk up to order the flights or glass of wine. The have food too, not a big selection but charcuterie board and pizza. Additional to wine, they also offer coffee and beer. The second room to the right is smaller, more intimate like a bar. We got a small souvenir glass with our flight for free.

If you're looking for the cutest winery near the twin cities, DeCorsa is it!…read more Betty and Mike who own/ run the winery were beautiful hosts and the wines were top notch! This was supposed to be a quick stop for us but we ended up spending hours chatting and playing board games with Betty! Brownie points to them for have a winery puppy. 15/10 for puppy kisses at DeCorsa! We can't wait to go back and we left feeling like we hung out with a couple of friends! It was a huge bonus that their wine was yumm!!

I had such a unique experience at this winery that it was hard to know what to rate it. There were…read moresix of us that scheduled an appointment to visit on the day of New Year's Eve. When we arrived the place looked closed and we weren't sure what to make of it. When we came into the space it was very dark and it remained dark the entire time we were there which I thought was odd. But the winery is powered by solar panels which I thought was cool! But I swear it must've been 50 degrees inside the building because half of us were freezing. It also looked like a lot of the decorations were incredibly old and outdated and hadn't been dusted in a long time. The woman that helped to service us was very nice and personable and I thought we had a good time talking to her and her husband. They told us a lot about the winery and how the community helps to keep it running. I've never been to such a small winery like this one so it was nice to hear how they keep it running! The wine: the reason why im not giving this a lower star rating is because of how good the wines and prices were. For less than ten dollars you can sample 5 wines and they let us pair up and share tastings so we could try them all! I loved each wine and they all tasted unlike any other wines I've ever tasted. Very fruity and fragrant and delicious. :) Overall I think if the owners added more lights and cleaned up the decorations this place could easily jump from a 3 to a 4!

We stopped in at Bunnycup Winery for wine tasting while visiting friends in WI…read more This cute winery is set up with a tasting room, outdoor patio with a stage and event space on the property. When we arrived we headed straight to the tasting room. The staff were friendly and attentive. We decided on flights and they were served in proper tasting glasses on a board with oyster crackers. We headed out to the patio where there were several tables set up to enjoy the outdoor space. It was crowded! The yard had tents and trucks set up with activities and games for the kids as well as items for sale from different vendors. The reds were actually pretty good. I didn't know what to expect from grapes grown in WI but we had a good experience. We enjoyed music from the band and hung out in a nice relaxing atmosphere. We were checked on by the staff several times and were never left waiting for service. We enjoyed our time at Bunnycup Winery and will visit again.

Bunny Cup Winery: Where the Wine Is Legit and the Vibe Doesn't Suck…read more Looking for your next destination or the perfect pit stop before bolting from the Twin Cities? Look no further--Bunny Cup Winery is your move. Just 20 minutes from Taylors Falls, MN (or St. Croix Falls, WI if you swing that way), Bunny Cup sits in the heart of Wisconsin cabin country--Luck, WI, right by Balsam Lake. Owned and operated by a down-to-earth couple from Woodbury, MN, this place is pouring up small-batch wines that are bold, fun, and not trying to be Napa. And thank God for that. You won't find any of that overpriced "barely flavored vinegar water" here--nope. Just real-deal, full-flavor wines that you'll actually want to drink again. Their motto? "Seriously Unfussy." Their energy? Spot on. Bring the kids. Bring your dog. Bring your weird uncle. No one's judging. Add in food trucks like Drool-Worthy Creations (yes, that's us) and live music from local legends, and you've got the kind of afternoon that makes summer feel like it used to. New destination? Maybe. Unexpected tradition in the making? Absolutely. Make the drive. Make a memory. See you this weekend.

We ventured here on Mother's Day with no expectations and were pleased to enjoy so many components here. The parking lot is spacious, there is a small interior section of gifts, wine can be purchased (of course), visible vineyards plethora of both indoor and outdoor seating, clean interior, well kept bathrooms, friendly staff, etc. the list goes on and on. My sister and I got the dessert wine as we had just come from eating a large brunch and I absolutely loved it! Winehaven offers standard white and red wines but also does an excellent job with the specialty wine as well. The chocolate zom-bee was oh so good! As the description reads, "Chocolate Zom-Bee is a monstrous explosion of dark chocolate and deep grape wine flavors. This wine is sinfully delicious with decadent chocolate desserts as well as vanilla bean ice cream or fruit-based tarts and pies." Enjoy!!

Such a nice winery. I try to visit at least once every summer. I went to celebrate my birthday but…read morewe ended up getting there 1hr before closing. I ordered a wine slushy flight but some of the flavors weren't frozen/ready but they were still good overall. Prices were fair. The patio is nice & overlooks the grapevines. They also offer indoor seating as well. I believe both times I went the inside was being rented out for private parties. The staff are nice & attentive. In the past we've ordered some flatbreads and they come out cut in a heart shape, it's super cute. They taste good as well.
