One of the best cider it's I've been to. Really good ciders and nice staff. Was a little crowded and tasting room was small, but worth the wait.

Wines ok at best. Not a lot of MN wines going on. Very nice winery but the staff couldn't answer questions about the wines. Too busy with too little staff with subpar wines.

Favorite Wine: Marquette
Solid winery with some real nice wines. They have a mix of local and imported fruit but make good wine from both. Nice staff. Was a little too busy as it felt like the bar scene at times. Will stop in again.

Favorite Wine: Rustic Red
Small family winery making some outstanding wines. 100 percent local is a big bonus. They know their vines and their wines better than most. Got to sit next to vineyards and was served wine at our table. This is a must is winery.
