Vintages, Craft Beers, & Cider

Good People, Great Times, Amazing Blends

Back in 2014, Andy and Krista Kopperud were searching for a place to call “home” for them and their young family.  They were drawn to wide open spaces and a down-home community.  Little did they know the vines were calling…

Discover our passion & process

The growing season for our grapes starts in May and ends in September every year. We grow 1 ½ acres of “cold hardy” grapes; 3 varieties in total and you get to enjoy the fruits of our labor in our tasting room!

Wine making is one big chemistry project and takes 9-18 months to complete depending on the type (sweet or dry) and goes through multiple stages of fermentation and finishing to become a bottle on the our shelf.

The beauty (and challenge) or MN grape growing and wine making is the variable of weather. The weather affects the growing season and the final grape product. Don’t be surprised if you come to try a different Vintage of the same wine and have different notes on the palate! It changes from year to year!

Welcome to the wild world of grape growing and wine making on the Prairie!
