Did you know that there are 11 wineries located just minutes from the Twin Cities? In some people’s mind, getting to a winery consists of a long drive into the country. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

With the diverse climate we have, they are a lot closer than you think. You just have to know where to go for the wineries in the Twin Cities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Why Visit at MN Winery?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Minnesota Wineries and Vineyards have a unique charm to them. It is a completely different experience than any bar you will go to. My first trip to a Vineyard was at Winehaven<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Immediately I noticed how amazing the staff was. They had a deep passion for the product they were serving. The staff could provide you with the perfect pairing for any meal you were serving. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

They poured each tasting in the order that would best compliment the previous flavors. You could tell just how invested they were in their products.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I was surprised when I was encouraged to walk around on the grounds with my glass. They didn’t care that I brought my children with me. My kids loved getting to see where grapes came from. It felt like I was visiting a friend\u2019s home.<\/p>\n\n\n

After visiting a few more vineyards, like Four Daughters<\/a>, Cannon River<\/a>, and even Buffalo Rock<\/a>,\u00a0I found that it was this way at most locations. A lot of the places will have yard games set up and live bands<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Some will even have food trucks<\/a> outside or have a kitchen serving their own creations. It makes for an amazing, laid-back experience. Or take it up a notch and participate in a grape stomp<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n

History of MN Wine Grapes<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Thanks to the U of M, Minnesota wineries have been able to grow their own grapes. They have created 5 different types of grapes that can withstand the harsher climate we have. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

They are currently coming out with some new grapes that promise a new set of wine combinations. The rumor is the latest grape will start making its debut in 2018!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Minnesota Wineries Map<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

To help people get out and experience what I have, I created a quick guide. The 11 Wineries and Vineyards minutes from the Twin Cities. All are less than an hour away. I\u2019ve done all the legwork. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The tasting prices and hours are provided for you, along with my own review of each place. So quick making excuses. You don’t have to wait for a special occasion. Just go out and visit one of these amazing wineries and don’t forget to do some Wine Tastings MN.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
