Complete Wine Tasting Guide to Minnesota

Tasting wine in Minnesota is different from the big-name regions, and that is part of the appeal. Smaller crowds, lower fees, and winemakers who are often the ones pouring your tasting make for a more personal, relaxed experience.

Expect to encounter Marquette, Frontenac, La Crescent at most tasting rooms. Fees average $8-$15 per person. The vibe is casual and welcoming, and most producers are happy to explain their wines to newcomers.
