Ok.......another update. The second bottle that was bad, I didn't pour down the drain but let it sit on the counter for about three weeks, I guess these wines need to breathe that long, it finally tasted good and I actually like it. It was all just very weird to me. Keeping this honest and real, bumped them up to three stars read more

We stopped in on a Saturday afternoon for wine tasting. First, the venue is beautiful with a nice spacious area for dining, a large bar for wine tasting and a large outdoor patio with views of the vineyard. In the main dining area, there is a stage for bands. We walked up to the bar which was full but found a spot to squeeze in. The wine tasting area had several wine servers behind the bar. We waited for quite some time before a wine server greeted us and asked us what we were interested in tasting. We asked what was offered as far as wine tastings as it appeared there were a couple of different wine tasting events taking place. She looked at us with confusion and asked what we were interested in tasting. We read about the cheese and wine pairing so we said we would do that. We asked about each of the wines and she put the wine & cheese sign with descriptions in front of us and asked what we wanted to do. She couldn't really explain the wine herself. Again, confused why she is asking that since it's 5 wines with a 5 cheese pairing, We said we will just go down the list. She brought us complimentary wine glasses and poured the first wine. She also handed us cheese on toothpicks we all had to figure out how to grab from her fingers. Perhaps a plate or napkin? We waited for about 15 minutes before she came back and she looked at us and said no one is helping you? We thought she would but I guess not. We proceeded down the list, jumbling the cheese on toothpicks, and waited for the next tasting but we were forgotten once again. It took a while but we made it through the tasting. I'm a red wine person but the red wines were sour in my opinion. I realize this is WI and not CA or France so obviously the wine is different. We did buy a couple of bottles of their Pony which is a Rose as well as the ale Crescent. We wanted to purchase a couple of the different cheese that we tasted but they didn't have any to purchase. The venue is beautiful and a great place for events. The wine servers definitely need training in how to service guests and learn about the wine. Also, no one wants to eat out of someone's hands. At least provide napkins they can hand the food to the wine taster with a napkin. . read more

Our second winery location is also down the street from the border of Minnesota. This winery is beautiful, with huge parking lot and building. Inside looks like a big cabin, half was a restaurant and the other is retail and bar. You'll order the flights or glass at the bar. There's indoor seating and outdoor that faces the vineyards. My flight came with bites to pair. Which I thought was fabulous. They have a big food menu to order from. Each flight comes with a souvenir glass to take home. read more

Delicious wine with beautiful views! We visited on a girls trip to Interstate State Park, and we were so impressed by the beauty of the grounds of Dancing Dragonfly Winery, as well as the delicious slushy flight! For $16 you too can try 4 of the wine slushy flavors. We had margarita, sangria, mango, and pink lemonade. We enjoyed our drinks outside on the patio, with a stunning vineyard view! read more

We popped in while on vacation and it was an amazing experience. We are not wine connoisseurs at all but we had Darla and she knows her stuff. She took the time to walk us through all the flavor profiles and we ended up leaving with 4 bottles of our favorites. We tried five each and they all were delicious but four stuck out and we will be back. Great time, good food, lovely atmosphere and Darla! Highly suggest looking for this gal she is a treat... read more

We had a great time at the winery. Darla was our server. She was very helpful in helping us pick the wines for our flight. We did two flights. They were all very good. Darla came to our table several times to make sure we were doing good and enjoying our wine experience. Gave us additional information about the wines and just visited with us. She was very helpful, knowledgeable and very kind. Great service, great wine, great people, and great atmosphere. Will go again. Steve and Dawn. read more

My friends and I came here during a little girls weekend in Taylor's Falls nearby, and this was the perfect little spot to celebrate our trip! There's a beautiful outdoor patio where you overlook the vineyard, with some shaded and some sunny seating. I didn't see any indoor seating, but I'm sure it's in a back room somewhere that we didn't see. The minute you walk in there's a wall covered in their wine, a cute little gift shop area, and a large wine bar to place your orders. It's very cozy and Tuscan feeling, exactly what you want in a wine bar! The service here was excellent - John at the counter was an all-star for us! He was great at recommending different wines based on what we liked, and going through each wine we were interested in and allowing us to taste it. He was so fun and patient with our group of 7, it really made our experience! After trying a couple of the wines, myself and two others loved Jig - a semi-sweet white, and bought a bottle. This was some of my favorite wine I've had so I decided to grab a bottle - only $19! All of the bottles I looked at were definitely reasonably priced, if not a great deal for how delicious the wine is. The food here was also delicious - nothing super crazy to go out of your way for, but I felt like it was great for a summer day where the main event is the wine. BREAD & SPREADS: We got the olive tapenade and herbed olive oil. Nothing crazy, but a nice little way to start the meal. BRUSCETTA: Really delicious and fresh! Again, nothing unique but I would recommend this over the bread and spreads. RITA HAYWORTH: Your basic margarita pizza - very delicious! AUDREY HEPBURN: More like a cheesy bread you dip in sauce, this is a great appetizer! I wish we had switched this out for a flatbread and dip so we could've tried for some variety. FOGHORN LEGHORN: Really delicious and unique! Loved the Italian flavors with a twist. I wish we had gotten more of their specialty pizzas! Overall, if I'm in the area again I will definitely be back to try more eats and wine! read more

We've been wine club members since the DDW opened, we love it! We brought our friends who are visiting from Denver & Orlando to experience our local winery. The place was hopping when we went there on a Friday evening. Three of us ordered glasses of wine and one in our party did a wine tasting w/ 5 unique wines. The staff was knowledgeable and friendly. We had a wonderful time as we always do! read more

Ordered pizza and bruscetta. The bruscetta needs balsamic and olive oil. It was very dry. Pizza was okay. Give the food 4/10 Did have two wines, DragonFly Nouveau give it a 7/10 and Tap Dance 6.5/10. ​ read more

We had the opportunity to stop by Dancing Dragonfly this past Saturday and were greeted warmly by the staff. Our wine server, Sue, was outstanding. We mentioned we had not been in for awhile and she provided a thorough overview of the wines as well as some select menu items that were her favorite. Beautiful building inside and the outdoor patio is awesome too! read more

Awesome view, great people, tons of space and excellent food! The sunset was incredible. read more

Made a stop here for the afternoon while on a girls trip and had a great time! The grounds are very pretty and the wines are great. John was amazing and helped all 7 of us choose the best wine for us by explaining each flavor profile and providing samples! We went with the Jig which was perfect for a hot day. Food was good, the bruschetta and foghorn pizza were definitely the best of what we ordered. The rest of the food was okay but nothing special. For the affordable price point ($19 for a bottle) I would be happy to come back here again! read more

What a wonderful.experience. We went to another winery in St Croix it wasn't a very good experience. The pizza was delicious we had the Kermit pizza. The service was wonderful with a smile.and very helpful. Made you feel welcome and wanted. Jelpnus out with a flight ofneine and what steps to take has it was our first time. The ambiance was very beautiful and relaxing. It was winter so were inside. Nothing special about them inside just pleasant. The flights were on a rack and a good amount. The flights were matched with food and gave you a sample of that food. I found that awesome. read more

Dancing Dragonfly Winery was lovely! We had a wine tasting of marvelous wine options. Dawn, who took care of us was very detailed in explaining the wines and what the winery had to offer. We ended up purchasing a membership! The overall ambiance indoors and out was beautiful! read more

First, I'll Starr by saying I wish I could give 3.5 stars. I feel the winery is a little better than average. Signed up to do the tour. That was ok, but left something to be desired. I was expecting to see way more of the vineyard and hear about all of the grapes grown and get a few samples along the way. Instead, we mostly heard about how many acres the owners have and saw a couple pieces of the production equipment. And got a sample of tawny port (definitely not a 'for everyone' wine, not to mention its probably the booziest one they have, so you've got a bunch of lit people coming in from the tour). I guess I would just say, I wouldn't spend time or money on the tour. We got in and wanted to have a couple glasses and get some food. Our server, Judy, was very nice and helpful for understanding the menu. I was a little surprised that none of their Rosé were on any tasting menu. That was a bit of a disappointment, especially in the summer. I ended up just going for a glass each of the Rosés on the menu. Others in my group got tasting flights. I thought it was kind of cool that they gave you some small bites to pair with your flight, but those took so long to come out, most of my group was already halfway through drinking before their tasting plate came out. We all liked the wine we tried and grabbed a couple bottle to take home. The outdoor space is very nice and the covered patio was nice to stay out of the sun but still enjoy the nice weather. I could also see it being nice if it was just sprinkling out, you could probably still sit outside and not get wet. The couple food bites that were tried were also liked. Overall, come sit outside with a glass of your favorite and get a small bite. Skip the tour and the tastings. read more

Everyone was so friendly and knowledgeable. The wine was delicious. The food so good!! But the grounds and the space....to die for. That view from the patio on a gorgeous fall day was ridiculous!! We just happened to be in town for an event and stopped by to kill some time. We had no expectations or any idea of what to expect but it was perfect and we'd go back over and over if we were closer! Highly recommend you stop if you can! read more

Okay, the wine was good. Fudge was amazing!! The service, food, and atmosphere was terrible.. I came at 7pm and the outside seating area had no lights so it was completely pitch black? All the heaters were off and we asked 3 different people who all said they'd turn them on- never did.. never get your food checked on.. my sandwich had no sauce.. But it's a beautiful place, it's sad they don't have the service and food to go with it! read more

We randomly stopped on a weekend fall drive and we were not disappointed. We will be back! A great destination for wine, food and entertainment (and the slushy flight was awesome too!). Darla helped us and she was great- friendly and helpful!! read more

Dancing Dragon winery is great, the food is really good. Pizzas, cheese platters etc, a large choice of wines are great.

I hosted a bachelorette party here and we had a great time! It was fairly easy to plan the event with their event coordinator, and we got a designated server for our table. Prices are VERY reasonable! Wine is great. Food is good. I did feel like our party was forgotten about halfway into the party. Our server was working wine tasting and I had to get up several times to grab someone's attention to order more food, get adequate silverware, etc. I wish we had a little more attention but other than that everything was great. read more

Love this place! Service is amazing - knowledgeable, positive. Beautiful and fun atmosphere. Thanks Becky for making our afternoon memorable. read more

Wonderful experience at the vineyard. Enjoyed a couple of flights and a charcuterie board on the patio. The flights come with a free glass to take home and a small bite to sample with each wine. Picture perfect day, great wine and the charcuterie board was delicious. We grabbed our four favorite bottles to take home. Highly recommended! read more

Went to a paint & sip event that was wonderful, had a great instructor and price included a drink. Ordered food to go with our drink (baked cheese!!!). When the event was complete it was almost closing time, so we left. The next day we returned after trying another local vineyard that didnt have the ambiance of a vineyard! Dancing Dragonfly didnt let us down! Their wine tasting & food pairing was great, you get a souvenir wine glass with it. The atmosphere is pleasant and serene as it is nestled in their vineyard and have a cute covered porch to sip your wine! read more

Dancing Dragonfly Winery - wine glasses on a table - Wineries Near Me - St. Croix Falls, Wisconsin

This is a young winery that is well worth visiting if you live near the twin cities and would like to take a scenic little road trip with a fabulous end destination. The grounds are not as gorgeous as other wineries I have visiting. Pretty much in a big flat open space very close to residential housing. It is 10.00 to sample five 1 ounce pours and you keep your glass. If you come back with your glass it is only 5.00 next time. A glass of wine will run you around 7-10 dollars. They are roughly 5-6 ounce pours. I enjoyed all the wines I sampled very much and it exceeded my expectations. I like a dry wine and sometimes you don't find that. My two faves were Bill's Minuet and Bill's Waltz. One was a white and the other Red. The two best of the day for me. They are named for dancing like shashay, cha-cha-hula-etc. I thought a bottle was a tad on the expensive side-right around 40.00 - The building is very nice and will be much appreciated in the colder weather or to have an event. Things they can improve upon would be to get better music in there---the live music they advertised was lame. I was expecting a guy with a guitar singing James Taylor, Eagles, John Denver, getting the crowd engaged and keeping the party rocking and people drinking. He also should have been outside on such a gorgeous day instead of inside. They need little fire pits outside on the patio--it would be lovely to bring a throw in the fall and just hang and talk with people while enjoying a glass or two. The wood fired pizzas looked amazing and I will have one next time. I love the logo and believe this winery will only get better and better with time. read more

My favorite vineyard ever! If you don't like Midwest wines and prefer California... you may like DDW. Their wines are not that nasty tanniny weird taste that most Frontenac grapes have. They have every range of red and white from sweet to dry. It's hard to find a true Midwestern comparison to a Cab or Merlot but you may find what you like here. And their poets, holy crap are they good. I have never liked ports until I met Tango, Bossa Nova, and Bolero. I don't like sweet wines but nothing to dry or oaky, my preference is Conga (red), Drangonfly Nouveau (red), Boogaloo (rose), Promenade (white). If you are in the area you must stop for a tasting and a wood fired pizza. read more

This is a wonderful winery with great wine options and an amazing staff. We have been coming to Dancing Dragonfly for many years and have made a wonderful connection with their staff. Darla is spectacular and goes above and beyond to make your experience fantastic. She is one of the reasons we continue to come back. She makes us feel like we are at home and always remembers us when we come back. Her suggestions are always spot on, and makes us truly enjoy our experience. There are a lot of winery's in the area to enjoy, but Dancing Dragonfly far exceeds every single one!! Great job Darla and Dancing Dragonfly....until next time! read more

Wine was good. The pizza was a bit pricey and not quite cooked. Very average. Cool spot and outdoor seating was fine

Wine flight not worth the cost- 1 sip per glass. $20.85 for 5 sips of wine total. Don't do it. Ambience is lacking.

Disappointing! Beautiful setting and wonderful space to potentially enjoy indoors & outdoors. Perfect weather. Than comes the lack of service. I could go all out here and share so many things that went wrong. Our group had every intend to walk out the door and take 2 - 4 cases of wine home with us. Given your hefty prices that would have made for nice business that day. So instead, everybody was upset and passed. Did so at another winery instead next day. A Great opportunity for 1st time & repeat business lost here! read more

Definitely skip this vineyard! The food was terrible and the wait time was horrific. My friends and I waited over an hour for some so-called bruschetta, which was basically diced tomatoes on some oily Texas toast. Is someone too lazy to Google a respectable bruschetta recipe?! Also, another woman told us she had been waiting for over an hour for a meat and cheese board. Seriously, how difficult is that to prepare?! The food needs to live up to the ambiance. Wine and food should amplify each other. The food should sell the wine, during the vineyard visit and later from retail stores. Because of this ridiculous experience, I will never buy a bottle of your wine at a retail store. It was such a disappointment. An all you can eat Chinese buffet would be an improvement over whatever is happening there now. read more

This place is LOVELY! It's OMG romantic and definitely a place I plan on returning with a date, a girls night out or heck all by myself! I'm going to confess- I'm a wine snob. And as an American, probably the worst kind there is- I only drink foreign wines. Up until now. This has been the most lovely red wines I've had in a long time and I felt GREAT after drinking them! I had given up on drinking American wines due to having so many reactions and feeling horrible the next day- yet I never experienced that from any foreign wines. There is something really different about the wine here and haven't put my fingers on it but I'm now kicking myself for only bringing 2 bottles home. A girlfriend and I met up there to check it out and having a relaxing Sunday afternoon out. We both went for a 5 pour sampling and ended up staying until they closed. She isn't even a wine drinker- no lie- and she said she could see herself becoming an alcoholic with how good their wine tasted & felt (she had given up on wine due to reactions as well). She ended up purchasing their winery membership! While there, I had counted 5 different bridal parties having their bachelorette party there as well. So it's a great place for small (and probably large) parties. read more
