Cannon River Winery is a fun local destination if you're looking for a relaxed wine experience…read morewithout making a long drive. It is not actually at their winery but rather their tasting room in the city. The tasting room is spacious and welcoming, and they offer a nice variety of wines ranging from sweeter dessert wines to drier reds and whites. There's something for almost everyone. We also shared a charcuterie board, which paired nicely with the tasting and made for an easy afternoon with friends. The staff was friendly and happy to answer questions. They have a few different tasting options including by the glass, and up to 10 different pours for a more complete experience.

All four of us in our group had gone to Napa, Sonoma and Italy- and learned more about wine during our visit to the Cannon River Winery than we had at any of our other wine tours or tasting experiences. Our favorite wine- the Perfect Storm trio! I usually don't like Rose' but their's is delicious. And get the charcuterie board! the perfect pairing with our wine flights. We are already planning return trips with other groups of friends.

We really were set on the duck wontons for a starter. They were of course out of them! So sad. So we tried the fried mushrooms. They were horrible! The batter was hard and when you cut into it the mushroom just fell out of it. The batter had no seasoning. For entrees, we tried the pork chop and airline chicken. Everything is woodfired so it all tasted like it was grilled. I didn't mind the pork chop. The "jam" on it tasted just like bbq sauce. The airline chicken was seasoned with rosemary and was a little dry. The sides were absolutely horrible. Icecream scooped mashed potatoes....(that's all I have to say about that). The risotto was so plain and wasn't creamy at all. Needed wayyy more Parmesan, garlic or butter. Nothing was seasoned. The coleslaw had no taste. The zucchini squash mix had no seasoning! The glazed carrots just tasted like carrots. Just everything was a little disappointing and unimpressive. Service was flat and simple. Prices were overpriced.

Very good wines with several options for sampling--flight of wines, tableside tasting, or tokens…read more We opted for the tokens which is 5-1 oz tastings for $15. All of the wines we tasted were delicious. They also sell beer and soda for non-wine drinkers which is really nice. We ordered the charcuterie board which was also delicious. You have a choice of cheeses, meats and extras, all served with delicious, crispy and warm Naan bread. Will definitely be back. Just note that the address in Yelp is wrong!! The right address is 421

We are members of the Cannon falls Winery and they have grape picking events in the fall. I have…read morenot gone to one but plan on it this year. This latest wine pick-up party was held at their vineyard. They bused us all over to the vineyard from the winery, they had 3 buses going to and fro. Mask were required. They signed people in outside with a line that had social distancing, which was appreciated. They didn't cram the buses full and left plenty of seats open for distancing. This was our first time seeing the vineyard and it was in a nice location, not far from the winery. They let us walk around and see the grapes, they were just turning from green to purple so they were a bit tart. They had Nick's Diner cater food in for this event. It was walking tacos and they also had some wine tasting out there for the club members. We had the option of buying a bottle of wine at the Winery before being bused out there, so that is what we did. The walking tacos was the best food set-up so far since we have been members. They had the event out here to have more space to social distance. We enjoyed ourselves and signed up for the wine picking this year! I hear it is a good time! They also have events out here. Contact them for more details on that.

You can make your 1/2 hour reservation 5 days in the future and they do fill up fast so make sure you're on the ball. When you arrive it may seem busy but there is plenty of parking. Next you'll want to pick a nice spot to have dinner, it's all first come first serve so make sure you're on time. They have plenty of open grassy areas or a covered patio above the bar. They have multiple options for pizza and even have their liquor license now if you're in the mood. Plenty of room for the kids to play and you can stay as long as you want after you order. Pizzas are roughly $30 after tax a piece so it's not cheap but they're really delicious!! We'll be back

An absolutely stunning place for a wedding! Came here for an October wedding, and I absolutely fell…read morein love with the rustic farm vibe. The little barn houses, the field, everything was inviting and elegant, yet rustic and homey. The outdoor ceremony area was also great, with benches set up, a beautiful gate for the married couple to walk in through, etc. The staff were super atttentive and friendly. My only gripe was that they did not seem well equipped to handle super cold weather (there were some blankets) but the ceremony was super chilly and I wish the heat was turned on more in the dining area.

As a guest (part of the bridal party) at Legacy Hill Farm, I was impressed with the venue! When…read moredriving up the road, all that can be seen is a house with a small sign on the gate but we quick saw that there was a lot more waiting just over the hill. I had arrived early to get ready at the bridal suite which was in one of the little buildings. It had the restrooms inside on the first floor & the bridal suite on the second. There were only three of us bridesmaids, but even with others stopping in to see the bride, there was plenty of room to get ready. The best part was that there was a lot of natural lighting & lots of mirrors for us to use. I didn't see the grooms suite but there was a separate building for that as well! The wedding ceremony area had luscious grass with seating benches for the guests & big wooden doors for a grand entrance. It was nice for the wedding party to be able walk down & then have a pause (with doors closed) as the bride stepped up for her entrance. The reception was then held inside the big barn building just off to the side from the ceremony. The space was large with wooden tables & chairs set up for guests. Although we didn't use it, there was a firepit next to the building for use as well! Drinks & appetizers were served before the reception started at the side barn building. It was just a few feet away from the main reception. My favorite though, was the barn space that was first seen when entering the venue from the parking lot. Our friends had opted to utilize it for photos to put inside the guest book! Overall, a cute venue. Since I was a guest, I don't know any of the logistics of touring / reserving the space but my friend (the bride) did say that they're booked up pretty much every weekend!

The interior was super cute, and the space was much larger than we expected. I ordered the red wine flight while my friend chose the white flight. The reds were unique but delicious!

We also split a charcuterie board, which had the perfect variety of meats, cheeses, fruit, and accompaniments to pair with the wines. The staff was incredibly friendly and genuinely eager to help us find wines we'd enjoy. There was also plenty of easy street parking just around the block. We'd definitely come back!

The space is updated, and a number of people mentioned how nicely it was decorated. There is street parking all around, and a couple of lots further down the street. FYI: As with other rental spaces, there is a list of items that you can't use in the space - candles, confetti, etc . . ., but they have it all listed on the website under the FAQs, so you know upfront what you are getting into. Also, you have to clean the space when you are finished using it, not a big deal, just make sure you factor that into the rental time. If I were in need of this kind of space again, I would definitely use this space again.

It is also conveniently located to the Minneapolis and a super easy drive. I'm looking forward to going back in the winter!
