Where our motto comes from “All gravel roads lead to West Branch!” Our old Quonset was built into a full-service bar that accommodates the ATM, TouchTunes, pull tabs & E-tabs. The fireplace is the key attribute in the bar area. Within the dining room features a few TVs, a dart machine and a claw machine for the kiddos. Our loft area is the cool hang out for private parties. It has a few couches and TVs for relaxing with your favorite drink of choice.  Our property is surrounded by 4 acres of different types of Minnesota hardy grapes that we hand pick and deliver to a few of our favorite wineries which they make into wine and redistribute by the glass or bottle here at West Branch Vineyard. You can enjoy one of those acres in our backyard patio next to one of the fire pits and take in the most peaceful spot on the property!! West Branch Vineyard offers over 20 different wines that we picked out from our wine tasting adventures. We do offer cocktails, different beers from other breweries and a damn good award winning Bloody Mary!! Our menu is a bit unconventional for a vineyard. We wood fire ribs, chicken, pulled pork, brisket, and the most sold out item the prime rib. There is also frozen Harry’s pizza and Topper’s Warehouse pizza from Montevideo, MN. Appetizers are also served. Don’t forget the yummy dessert of cheesecake!

We catered through the winery for the rehearsal dinner and they knocked it out of the park! We had wonderful pizza, salad, and a variety of desserts. Guests raved about the food! Also, their wine and cider was also a hit - as expected! Now moving to my wedding. Overall, WONDERFUL experience. To start, the winery is reasonably priced. The staff is wonderful - shoutout to Jillian, Alexis and our bartender - they took care of all setup and tear down. They were flexible with table arrangements and allow you to truly make the day your own. There is a great, spacious room for the bridal party to get ready upstairs as well! Our guests continue to comment on how lovely the outdoor space and indoor space is at Crow River Winery. There was ample space for our guests to relax inside or outside and space for the kiddos to run around and get some energy out. I have no complaints or suggestions for improvements. Our day was absolutely stress free and perfect. I would choose Crow River Winery over and over as a wedding venue - as well as a great place to stop by for a nice evening on the patio with great wine, cider, or beer AND food. Thank you Crow River Winery for helping create my dream wedding!
