Northern Vineyards Winery

Northern Vineyards is owned by the member-growers of the Minnesota Winegrowers Cooperative. We were the first modern winery cooperative in the United States. Each member maintains a vineyard between 1-15 acres and produces grapes that are brought to the winery in the fall to be made into our wines. Each vineyard has its own unique characteristics for growing grapes, depending on soil and sun exposure. Our growers are located as far north as Rice, MN and as far south as Viroqua, WI. Vines receive meticulous care in order to withstand the rigors of Minnesota’s continental climate. Our members specialize in growing grape varieties developed to grow in our unique climate.
