    We stopped in Sunday, Mother's Day for the live music. What a surprise, there's a garage door and it was wide open! It has been YEARS since I first stopped in so this was like a new experience to me. I was pleasantly surprised w all the seating and the size of the space. There were several little patio tables and seating along the sidewalk too! The acoustics in the winery wee great w the musician set up in he NW corner on a cote sage edged in....flagstone(?). I didn't imbibe while there but the two people I was with appreciated that there were other offerings than wine. They both opted for a 16oz Michelob Golden Draft Light. Our server was attentive as we snatched an open table as soon as people left. The bartender came by to take our order, to clean our table and take away all their plates. Thanks. To the left when you came in the garage door was a whole variety of merch...who knew?! Beyond that were all the wine making tanks and vessels! Parking was a little tricky on Sunday due to the event but w made it work. Thanks Cannon River for hosting a Mother's Day event, we had a good time and will be sure to keep an eye on your future events! I definitely suspect I will be back to peruse merch and pick up a Feisty Bitch shirt. Cheers!

    We had a lovely midafternoon Sunday stop here to try out the token flight and enjoy some food. The place was busy, but the service was fantastic. We enjoyed all of the wines that we tried, which came as a pleasant surprise, and even bought two bottles to take home. We also had the Lady Gaga garlic cheese bread naan and the Stevie Nicks chicken pesto pizza; there was a bit of a wait for the food, because the place was indeed busy, but what came out was absolutely delicious. We're already talking about doing another trip here to try more wines!

    Patio and mural

    The patio mural was gorgeous and it was what immediately caught our eye. We were passing through and we had to take advantage of the beautiful weather. I like wine but not well versed so it was great that they listed from dry to sweet, and had all the flavors and notes in the description. We tried a flight and a glass of sparkle edelweiss. We both had flatbreads. You order at the counter and they give you a buzzer for when it is ready and you pick it up. It was all great food and wine. I just knocked a star down because there wasn't much for vegetarian options which was a bit of a bummer. We did enjoy it all though!

    We stopped here on our way to southern Minnesota. We had never been, but have seen the sign on the highway a million times and figured it was time to give it a try. The ambience is warm and welcoming. We were quickly greeted and walked through the various options, depending on our taste preferences. We each opted to try a flight and ordered a charcuterie board. The wines were very nice. Funny enough, we don't usually agree on a favorite, but we both decided that the Gunflint Pinot Gris was the best. While the charcuterie board was good, I didn't love how the only carb option was a warm naan bread. It's hard to spread Brie on, and didn't pair well with all of the options we chose. I was wishing for some cracker varieties instead.

    Wine taster-3 wines for $10

    Visited on 10/5/22. This place is fun, pure and simple. Parking was easy, as it had a giant lot next to it. There was a fun event going on at the same time for the deer opener beginning this weekend so it was pretty busy and a cover band was playing. We were able to find a table fairly easily and were served within a few minutes. My sister and I each got flights/tasters of wine while my mom stuck with a glass. The three tasters were $10 altogether which felt like a great value for the amount you got. We also got the spice girls dip platter which was fun and we loved how the menu suggested pairings for the food with different wines. Overall I would be happy to come here again and would love to try it out in the summer.

    Harvesting experience!

    In Fall of 2018- I attended one of their Fall Harvest Event and loved the whole experience. The harvest leader was very knowledgeable about the grapes and the process they took to become wine. Loved spending a Saturday afternoon with my closest friends getting good exercise and then drinking delish wine and food. I was most surprised by the quality of the food they served us- creamy pasta and delicious sides. Currently costs $25- which is a steal because the memories and food I had far exceed that cost! Hope to get back for the Fall 2021 Harvest.

    Feisty Bitch Rose Wine

    This fall, we visited the Cannon River Winery after golfing at the Cannon Golf Club. I like this winery very much. The service was helpful and knowledgeable about the wine. I decided on a bottle of Feisty Bitch rose. This week I popped the cork. It was very nice. Light, feisty, smooth...and as the bottle says, 'bitch less. Wine more'. The winery is an old brick building with lots of character. There was a live band playing and the place was packed. The upstairs was set up for a wedding which added to the crowd (I peeked at the set up, it was beautiful). We sat on a table on the sidewalk outside to enjoy the late afternoon. I ordered a glass of red but was tempted to try a flight to get a taste of several wines. My only ask would be if they could get a few items on a menu, even a cheese and cracker tray. Some food is available in a refrigerator but not the same as a small menu.

    Fun little day trip with my husband, and we stopped along the way at this winery. It was nestled downtown in a beautiful building. We did a quick tasting, and the lady who helped us was very knowledgeable about the different wines. We liked quite a few of them, and ended up buying a bottle to take home.

    Fun place to visit and taste wine. They have flights available so you can taste more then one. Great staff and food, worth a visit for sure. Try the sparking edelweiss you won't be disappointed.

    This was the perfect stop for a nice fall afternoon in Cannon Falls. There is a great Bike trail (peddle not Harley although this is a great area for that as well) that begins and ends in Cannon Falls and after a little exploring we stumble in the doors of this place. What a find, great welcoming group of very knowledgeable people when it comes to the wines they make and this wonderful liquid in general. They have different set-ups for tastings of all the wines that they make there and all very reasonable in price. They have plenty of room, tours and great hospitality...add to that the German guy playing drinking songs and its a good time. They have a wide range of wines for many tastes. For my taste they only had a couple of reds that I really loved but they did have a couple and it was such a great time with such great service I will stop in again. Great thing to do while venturing out from the city for a nice fall afternoon! KT

I normally don't consume such a carb-heavy meal. I blame having a breadstick, zuppa toscana, and a large portion of chicken marsala fettuccine. After running a couple of errands after lunch, I decided to do a day trip down to Rochester and northern Iowa. Well, the carb coma kicked in. I was yawning midway between Blaine and Rochester. I knew that I needed to pull over and take a nap. I needed to be alert while driving. I had never been to Cannon Falls before. It was the home of Midwest of Cannon Falls, which sold s'mores ornaments and figures. I loved them so much and still have many, including a small s'mores lamp. I had always wanted to visit the store in this town, but I could easily buy products from this place in Rochester as a resident. Well, that business got bought out by some larger company years ago. Midwest of Cannon Falls moved away from Cannon Falls. I never thought that I'd drop by Cannon Falls to take a nap at a gas station. It was exactly what I did. This gas station has a decent number of gas pumps. I was looking at parking. All parking spots are closest to the actual store, all in a row. I parked on the far left. It was a cold day, so I had to keep my rental car running to keep me warm. With my doors locked, I closed my eyes and dozed off for twenty minutes. I woke up. There was a car parked a couple of spots away from me. It wasn't there before I snoozed away. I felt refreshed and energized after my nap. I was fine for the rest of the day. There are many Casey's gas stations in Minnesota and Iowa. I believe that it's a midwest company. It is known for its taco pizza. I need to give it a try the next time I come across a Casey's. I am thankful that I could pull over at this gas station and take a nap. I never thought that I'd sleep through my first visit to Cannon Falls, but nothing is dull with me... haha! (131)

Typical bar food things to select from. The interior was clean and comfortable. The food was decent and portions were large. My only complaint is that the grill is an open concept in the bar area so you see everything being prepared. I was shocked to see the grill cook handle all the food items with bare hands. Then he would take a seat at the bar only to get up and cook more food without washing his hands. Rather disgusting in my book thus the 3 rating.

They were out rather fast and were your basic packaged curds. I would certainly go with the chicken wings next time. On person in our party of 6 ordered them as a main course and they were very good. Crispy batter and juicy chicken. I elected to try the Patty melt because it promoted a HUGE patty. Well my HUGE is much different than this one! The patty melt had good taste but I would certainly go with a different selection next time. The texas toast was toasted perfectly but it was just small. The tots were good but I wouldn't pay the upcharge next time. The FF are much better. My wife had Chicken bacon/ranch sandwich. She said it was moist with a crispy batter. She was very happy with the quantity and quality of the meal. Other in our party had the Eye opener (breakfast) burger with FF and like I said the FF are the right choice. Burger was good. Other meal order was boneless wings. they were also a good choice. Overall an OK place to eat. Certainly better than the McD down the street.

The floors are so uneven and being held together with what looks like hot glue. From the day we came to rehearsal, the event coordinator wears all her emotions on her face and looked disgusted and fed up the entire time. Then next day is the wedding, same attitude, there's sliding barn doors and one accidentally came off and she flipped out, cursing at a guest who was just trying to help put it back up. Next, so I do not drink alcohol, but it was a special day so we decided to get the bride and groom some personal liquor gifts and then I got a bottle of vodka to do a celebration shot with the wedding party before we walked out the doors. It was put away in a CLOSED, non see through storage container. So We go outside, do the ceremony, come in an not only were all of the gifts taken, they took the bottle of vodka and then decided to roam through all of my PERSONAL BELONGINGS as well!! Then when we came in clearly looking for it, thinking someone came in and was stealing peoples things.... The coordinator and her husband sat behind the bar, giggling amongst themselves, knowing THEY are the ones who took it and knew we were looking for it. They never mentioned "oh we found this and you can't have liquor....". That would have been completely understandable, but they went in our personal things , took our belongings and held them until the end of the night. Their excuse for going and taking it was that "there's kids around and we can't have open liquor." But like I said it was in the bridesmaid CLOSED room, in a solid color storage tote, that people weren't even allowed back in and they took it upon themselves to initially steal from us!! I would never, ever recommend this place!!! The service was horrible and the prices do not match with what they're providing!! If there was a negative score, I'd have given it. The only thing nice about the place was the wedding we had there!!
