My favorite place to relax and meet friends just north of the Twin Cities! I highly recommend! There is a nice variety of wines at Red Pine Winery to accommodate everyone’s palate. Their wines range from light and mineral to rich and spicy. They also have a sweet peach wine (Perfectly Peach Table Wine) that is delicious! They’ve been known to make sweet peach slushees out of it on those hot and humid, Minnesota summer days. Red Pine Winery’s Treehouse Red and Treehouse White are my personal favorites.

The winemakers are onsite and ready to share their stories about making wine in the Midwest. Red Pine Winery now offers charcuterie boards at their tastings that are as pretty as they are delicious.

There are dogs, chickens, goats, kitties and deer on the property. All lend themselves to the small farm zen that is Red Pine.

I felt like I was in Europe riding through an enchanted forest. Seriously. This place is a hidden treasure in east central Minnesota, and so worth the easy drive up from the...

She even stopped by to say hi and let us pet her:) The wine and charcuterie board were great. I’d say this was by far my favorite Minnesota wine I’ve had. The owners were lovely. We chatted for a bit about how their winery came to be. Very inspiring to see people taking the leap of turning a hobby into a business. We’ll...
Read moreI love that we have this delicious wine right in our backyard here in Cambridge. Locally grown and made. Such a great spot to connect with friends and meet new people in the community.
