The Corn Maze at Crow River Winery | A Wine Lover’s Day Out

The Corn Maze at Crow River Winery combines a fun challenge, wine-themed trivia, fall festivals, and yes, a little wine. I was in town for the Grape Stomp and visited the Corn Maze at Crow River Winery between events.

I timed it so I wouldn’t get lost and miss my stomping slot. Inside, the maze team did a great job making it challenging. The map was accurate, but we knew right away we were in for an adventure.

*Crow River Winery provided me with complimentary admission to the maze. This did not affect my opinions.

Each season, the maze has a winery-inspired theme with wine-related trivia at marked checkpoints. Brush up on a few Crow River Winery facts before you go. Cell service can be spotty in the field, so don’t count on your phone for answers.

The layout typically features multiple entry points. Two shorter loops are great with younger kids; the longer paths cover the remaining markers and take more time.

Inside the Maze

Expect twists and turns that make you backtrack at least once. Some paths are narrow, which makes it feel like you’re really lost in the corn. Use the trivia markers to orient yourself.

Staff usually stay outside the maze. If you need help, use the phone number on the printed map and share the last marker you passed so a staff member can guide you out. We didn’t need help, but it’s good to know the option exists.

Tips for Your Visit

  • Wear closed-toe shoes. The ground is uneven and stalks are underfoot.
  • Bring insect repellent. Mosquitoes can be thick. They usually sell spray at the ticket booth if you forget.
  • Grab a glass before you enter. Try Frontenac Gris, or ask the bar for a seasonal suggestion.
  • New to wine? Wine Folly is a great primer.

Price and Dates

Pricing and dates can change each season. Check the current details on the official maze page before you go.

Typical season: early September through October 31. Special events like Full Moon Maze nights and Pumpkin Fest vary by year; confirm on the events calendar.
