This is a beautiful vineyard. We stopped in on a Wednesday to do a wine tasting as we were passing…read morethrough the area. Had some good conversation with the guy doing the tasting. He told us some about the area and then obviously information about the Minnesota grapes and growing season. This place was very clean. Nice gift shop. I'm not a wine snob but I do think I have good taste buds. They had some really good wine. For $20, you received 5 samples. They were nice sized pours as well.

There is tons of outdoor seating - which was awesome as well as games and other activities to do outside We then went into the restaurant and were seated outside for dinner. Service was a little slower but it was super busy inside - so understandable. Absolutely get the large soft pretzel with caramel. What a genius idea and we were All floored at how good it was. We each got a different pizza (fig, pesto, hot honey) and a salad. 2 were ordered gluten free but they made all 3 gluten free - so I cannot speak to how the regular crust is unfortunately which I was looking forward too. The flavors were all great and would order all again.

There is a…read morerustic indoor bar area with some seating but the gem of the property is outback overlooking the scenic lake, long glass, grapes, and gorgeous trees. The staff is always so friendly and it feels like a little oasis. They also serve a variety of Minnesota wines! I'm partial to their whites or the parley vu rose and Frontenac Gris. They also often have love music and different events going on with local vendors which is really fun. Absolutely worth checking out!

Let me start by saying this place is BEAUTIFUL! The drive, the grounds, all of it is so nicely…read moredone. The bummer is the experience. We visited on a Sunday in early August. It was a very warm day so thankful for the numerous umbrellas and covered patio. Directions are not clear when entering the food and drink area. The drink area had a modest line but nowhere to see a menu. They have a large digital screen menu but it is not in view when waiting to place your order. There was only one person working the cash register which was stressful for her. The drinks came out quick!! Food prices are high for what you get so we opted to not order from the menu. My husband went in the wine shop to grab a couple bags of chips and he stood there forever with no one offering assistance. Many staff walked right by him, looked at him and again no assistance. He was gone from the table for 20 minutes to simply buy a bag of chips. They had live music on the patio which was so nice but the volume was so loud, we finally understood why everyone was seated at the back of the patio. Sovereign has a large array of seating and special event areas. Covered cabanas, dining rooms and gorgeous grounds to walk. This place simply needs some operational updates and it would receive a 5 star rating!!

I went for a summer yoga class but left white much more than alignment!…read more First, let's start with yoga class... I ended up being the only one who signed up for that afternoon so I got a one on one session with the instructor. We did the class in the vineyard on a beautiful summer day! The instructor played music and was accommodating to my specific needs and answered all my questions! After the class I was so hot from being in the sun I went straight into the winery which had just opened! With the class I got a free glass of wine so I got to choose from several options. I decided to also do a wine flight because the wine was so good and I still needed to cool down. The staff inside also suggested that I try the pizza next door so of course I did! You can order online and then you get a text when it's ready. Once it was ready I took my flight outside to a table and then grabbed my pizza from next door. The pizza was great and so was the wine! I definitely recommend this place for a chill date, or even a gathering with friends.

The bartender was so sweet and let us know that, even though it wasn't on the menu, we could do a mimosa flight! If you're in the area it's worth checking out!
