Delicious food and atmosphere for their Friday night Winedown. Loved the live piano music. Highly recommend! They also had a delicious wine slushy with a fruit kabob - yum! read more

My favorite winery with its gorgeous setting and great wines! Being at Morgan Creek is like being at a winery in Italy! The apps and pizzas are delicious, too! Friday piano music is relaxing, and the Saturday jazz is a delight! Orders are taken in the tasting room, and the food is delivered to your table. read more

We went there mainly for dinner and wine. We had two wood oven personal-size pizzas; chicken-artichoke and their harvest special. It is an organic winery and they grow their own produce. I had a desert red wine and my wife had a white. We shared a yummy lemon tort. The pizzas, wine and desert were great!!! I'd order them again and have no reservations about recommending them. Getting there...we came from New Ulm and our GPS routed us over a dirt road for a couple miles (68 to 101, then 47 to 101). Between 68 and 47 it's a dirt road. In order to avoid that segment of the dirt road, stay on Hwy 15 to Hwy 24/47 and take that to the last segment of 101 that the winery is on. read more

This is a beautiful vineyard to have a wedding ceremony. The grounds are gorgeous and so picturesque! As a wedding photographer, I would come back here time and time again! The staff is wonderful! Beautiful place! read more

I highly suggest the wine sampling. 4 choices of 2oz of your choice of wine. Their gift shop has the bottles of wine for sale for after your sampling pleasure. Great atmosphere on a little patio over looking a grassy area. There's also some food available, such as pizza or cheese and crackers. Wonderful place, will be back next year read more

Morgan Creek Vineyards - Two of the sweeter whites and two of the sweeter reds - Wineries Near Me - New Ulm, Minnesota

About a dozen miles south of New Ulm (that's New Ulm south, east to the rest of the world) is the Winery. The cab from the Holiday Inn was about $25 with tip. The wines are more in the German, use some local varieties, and thus are not the typical French/Cali style most are accustom to. However, they are, for the most part, very good. I suggest sampling by the glass. Don't miss the rose'. No I haven't lost my mind. But don't think rose, think sangria. On a warm summer night, it was tasty. The food is more in the apps/tapas style. The items are well used for snacking and go well with the wine. read more

Went for Sunday brunch today which was a perfect sunny day. I had the egg b which is pictured, was top notch. Family had the quiche and the kids shared a smaller pizza. Service was great, setting was beautiful, music made it a great way to spend Father's Day. A nice stroll down to a huge oak tree with a swing was a great ending. read more

Morgan Creek Vineyards - Wineries Near Me - New Ulm, Minnesota

More of a restaurant than winery. You can't get to the wine to purchase if you wanted to because tables with dinner guests are backed up to the shelves. Very helpful staff if you want to eat but couldn't get anyone to answer questions about purchasing wine. read more

Came here after visiting Schells brewery (which was excellent) and this winery is a total let down. It was about 4:00 and we walked into the bar room which looked like a typical tasking room. 3 staff members there no one greeted us or even acknowledged we were there. I had to ask...is this where we taste wine? "You can go out and just sit at a table and they'll be around to take your order". Ok. Sat for 15 minutes watching several staff member moving tables, going past us, nothing! We were about to walk out! Then a woman came and explained how it worked for the tasting and gave us food menus. Rather pricey @ $8 for 4 but that seems to be the going rate in the area. We also ordered wood fired pizzas. She came out with the guys tastings explained what they had, then went back and got mine and my daughter-n-law's tastings. 5 mines later she explained we couldn't have one if the pizzas because they don't serve the specials until 5pm. It was 4:45! My gosh, we cancelled the food order finished our overpriced boonesfarms and left. Skip by this place! It's too bad because the set up is beautiful, there's so much potential. P.S. I don't normally leave reviews of this nature but I'm still so aggravated about our visit on numerous levels. (We heard the owner is a member of the Schell family. You wouldn't know it based on the huge difference between experiences. read more

I would recommend this place to anyone that likes sweeter wines. I found most of the wines in the tasting to be overly sweet. Atmosphere was great for the event even tho I got there late. Would liked to see more of the place but the last bus left before closing and only had an hour there. This was due to the limited parking areas near the winery. read more

Morgan Creek is a very scenic little winery tucked into the Minnesota countryside. (So scenic in fact that there was a wedding there the day we visited.) If you do the tour you might get George, the owner, who is also from the Schell's family. (His brother currently runs Schell's.) The wine is pretty good and there's a small food menu in the tasting room. In the summer they have jazz a couple nights per month and although I haven't done it I can see how it would be popular given the setting. read more

Really enjoyed the whole place. They had a wood fire going, which added to the ambiance. Candles on the tables and music. Food was excellent. Tapas style but we each had different dishes. All good. Did a wine and beer sampling. We both liked the beers but the wines were a little sweet-more desert type wines. We brought home a bottle to our parents. They love Moscato. read more

We've been there twice and I love the atmosphere. The first time we went for a jazz pizza night and that was great--drinking great wine, eating pizza, sitting by the fire pit in a farm setting as the sun goes down. Brunch was okay. Limited options, but we were some of the only ones there. The atmosphere was great once again, food was okay, wine recommendations weren't as good as the wine we had the first time. We need to go back for one of those evening pizza nights. A bit of a drive for us, but you can't get that kind of atmosphere in the cities. read more

I am reluctant to give two stars because I have been here before and know how good service and food can be. But wow someone dropped the ball here last night. It took half an hour to get our wine then only three of six people actually got theirs! Another half hour for our server to come back with the other three wines. Then finally took our food order because we asked. Then almost an hour and half for food. (Our server forgot to put the order in and actually admitted it) never came back for the bill we had to go inside and ask for the bills ourselves. (I think we could've just left and no one would've noticed) Sorry Morgan Creek Vineyards. read more

Unless you're willing to drive out there an hour before they close don't bother the trek because they are not willing to provide service. If you list you're open to a specific period of time then be open otherwise close your doors and shut off the lights. read more

We went for a planned visit with a large birthday group, when we arrived the owner said she did not know about the group. She made us all feel very UN-WELCOMED. Did not offer menu and said we were not able to order the sampler due to the group size. Yet, there were reserved tables and we were told to sit at those tables. Very rude service. I have never been treated like this before! Found out a couple people refused to order because of how they were treated and said they will never go back. Since when is a company not happy to see $$$$$ ? Large group = $ yet the service was horrible! read more

Went for a pre planned visit for a party . They were not prepared . Poor service . Not friendly. Could not order samples ... Not a warm and fuzzy feeling .. read more

Sorry we gave it more stars than the waitress's tip. We were a group of four on June 20, 2015 and we wanted to do tasting. We were seated outside near the smoldering fire pit. The jazz band was due soon and we were encouraged to take them in. We asked for a full flight of 8 samples for each of us and an order of cheese and crackers to share. The waitress brought us a basket with 12 crackers (4 of each in the Pepperidge Farm variety pack) and 3 tiny tubs of flavored Philadelphia cream cheese. Classy snacks. Then our waitress bring out two boards each with four 'shooters' of wine. Shooters are what we call shot glasses than contain less than 2 ounces. We sat and waited for the rest of the 'flights' none came. No directions or descriptions of what was in the 'shooters'. When we finally received attention from the waitress we asked again for more flights - she brought one more set of 8 samples in shooters. Still nothing to inform us about what we were served. A couple at a nearby table shared their sheet describing the wines. The four of us tried to sample these flights of shooters but trying to smell the wine doesn't work so close to a soldering fire pit and the type of glasses used. There was no bowl in the shooter glass - no place for the scent of the wine, no room to swirl the wine either. Two processes that are very important to wine tasting. Call it a force of habit but give us a shooter and like others we slam. This was a very disappointing experience for us as customers and embarrassing to Morgan Creek. We know they can do better because we've enjoyed their wine before. We paid our tab and advised our waitress to pay a bit more attention to her customers' requests. Too bad, so sad. read more
