Northern Vineyards Winery

Winery Description

Northern Vineyards is owned by the member-growers of the Minnesota Winegrowers Cooperative. We were the first modern winery cooperative in the United States. Each member maintains a vineyard between 1-15 acres and produces grapes that are brought to the winery in the fall to be made into our wines. Each vineyard has its own unique characteristics for growing grapes, depending on soil and sun exposure. Our growers are located as far north as Rice, MN and as far south as Viroqua, WI. Vines receive meticulous care in order to withstand the rigors of Minnesota’s continental climate. Our members specialize in growing grape varieties developed to grow in our unique climate.

The winery has a deck that overlooks the scenic St. Croix River and historic lift bridge. It is a wonderful spot to bring your own picnic and pair it with a glass or bottle of one of our award winning wines. The deck also serves as a unique venue to host a private party.
