They are probably having more fun than you are when you come here, and that's what makes it even more charming. Homemade snacks for patrons, cheap and delicious wines (several unique ones you may not expect as well), and just a fun environment. We tried everything from a great shiraz to dirty socks and onion wine. You will not experience anything like this anywhere else in the region. And from the brief tour we received, they have ever more fun flavors nearing ripeness. Mint and jalapeño were among them. This was a later stop in a winery/brewery tour that, in all frankness, we may have never left had it been the first on the list. Do yourself a favor and come meet these fabulous people, and try their fabulous wine. I know I will be eager to do so again.

Now facing north we saw the sign for the Ann River Winery. We stopped into the tasting room and found a happy crowd of folks there and a very friendly and helpful lady, who turned out to be the owner. It was "Cheesecake Sunday" so of course we had to try the cheesecake with our flights of wine. Very good cheesecake with the topping of our choice! They had a large selection of wines and we ended up buying a couple bottles as well as some merchandise. We had a very fun experience and loved hearing the story about origins of the winery. I highly recommend this winery!

My brother and I decided to hit up all the places listed on the East Central Craft Beverage Trail so we could take notes for places to recommend at our family VRBO up there. We both tend to favor gourmet foodies and foreign red wine; but also really enjoy most of the local breweries and distilleries popping up in MN. We opted for 2 flights of the 6 samples for $6.50 (nice price!!) and compared notes with each other. While we both tend to not really go for white wines, the winner for us ended up being none other than Painted Lady, which was very much a white wine. The wines were better than some of the MN wineries that I've had (keep in mind, I have been a foreign red wine only kind of gal for years- so that is a high bar to meet!). There were a few that were a bit too sweet/syrupy but over all, I was pleased with the tasting and would even consider ordering a few by the glass. Random tidbit- they allow you to snow shoe or cross country ski by the vineyard if you'd like!

We ventured here on Mother's Day with no expectations and were pleased to enjoy so many components here. The parking lot is spacious, there is a small interior section of gifts, wine can be purchased (of course), visible vineyards plethora of both indoor and outdoor seating, clean interior, well kept bathrooms, friendly staff, etc. the list goes on and on. My sister and I got the dessert wine as we had just come from eating a large brunch and I absolutely loved it! Winehaven offers standard white and red wines but also does an excellent job with the specialty wine as well. The chocolate zom-bee was oh so good! As the description reads, "Chocolate Zom-Bee is a monstrous explosion of dark chocolate and deep grape wine flavors. This wine is sinfully delicious with decadent chocolate desserts as well as vanilla bean ice cream or fruit-based tarts and pies." Enjoy!!

Such a nice winery. I try to visit at least once every summer. I went to celebrate my birthday but…read morewe ended up getting there 1hr before closing. I ordered a wine slushy flight but some of the flavors weren't frozen/ready but they were still good overall. Prices were fair. The patio is nice & overlooks the grapevines. They also offer indoor seating as well. I believe both times I went the inside was being rented out for private parties. The staff are nice & attentive. In the past we've ordered some flatbreads and they come out cut in a heart shape, it's super cute. They taste good as well.

It was a huge bonus that their wine was yumm!!

When we arrived the place looked closed and we weren't sure what to make of it. When we came into the space it was very dark and it remained dark the entire time we were there which I thought was odd. But the winery is powered by solar panels which I thought was cool! But I swear it must've been 50 degrees inside the building because half of us were freezing. It also looked like a lot of the decorations were incredibly old and outdated and hadn't been dusted in a long time. The woman that helped to service us was very nice and personable and I thought we had a good time talking to her and her husband. They told us a lot about the winery and how the community helps to keep it running. I've never been to such a small winery like this one so it was nice to hear how they keep it running! The wine: the reason why im not giving this a lower star rating is because of how good the wines and prices were. For less than ten dollars you can sample 5 wines and they let us pair up and share tastings so we could try them all! I loved each wine and they all tasted unlike any other wines I've ever tasted. Very fruity and fragrant and delicious. :) Overall I think if the owners added more lights and cleaned up the decorations this place could easily jump from a 3 to a 4!

If you enjoy a spiced fall or winter drink this would be my go-to. If a sweet or fruity beverage is to your liking, I recommend the Egyptian or the Black Currant. The Egyptian goes down quite smoothly, and the Black Currant adds a little punch and a new flavor to the mix. If tart is what you prefer, Plum is a great choice, but remember it is more catered to a sipping whine as it can be overbearing after a glass or two. Now a new mead that caught my eye is the blueberry. This mead must absolutely be added to the Renaissance fair as a new regular item. It is now my second favorite tied with the Odin, it is both sweet and tart, though not overly tart. An amazing blend of blueberry and honey. There are over a dozen other flavors as well that they have to offer that you may even enjoy more. You can sample them for free at the brewery before you purchase some. I just got some this week for Christmas break. So why not go enjoy the taste that the Middle Ages have to offer?
