I hesitate to write a review here..........because this place is an absolute GEM and a selfish part of me would love to be able to walk in there anytime and experience the warmth and casual loveliness of Next Chapter Winery that we shared last night. What was a surprise "date night" for my hubby of 34 years, turned into a most memorable experience for both of us. The welcome smile and genuine friendly attention from Shana (by the way, you're gonna do great there Shana!- it's your "next chapter".) while we wine tasted and nibbled on cheeses and crackers and hearty pizza was charming and perfectly suited to the wine tasting room. 2nd to the customer service, but needs to be noted, is the essence in which the wine room has been finished. The rustic wood walls and planked wooden floors anchored by their galvanized steel top wooden bar invite you to stay and be "comfy". We love this place and found some fabulous wines to take home with us too! We thank you for your courage to answer the call of "The Next Chapter" of your lives Timothy & Therese. We will definitely be back again..............and again. Cheers! ...
Read moreWow! I personally have never really liked any of the local vineyard wines. Always a little too sweet for me. A customer told me they were heading down there, and I googled while they were here. The 1st thing that came up was a Groupon, so I bought the Groupon and they came back with a bottle of wine for me. OMG...It was DELICIOUS!. I mean...fantastic! I was so impressed, and noted on the website that they did wine and painting! Called a friend who lives in Fairbault and we met there yesterday. I cannot say enough about the vibe, the beauty, the amazing customer service, feeling right at home....and then there is THE WINE. I loved the Groom that I was delivered, but then....the Marquette!! Wait....then the Cabernet!! I couldnt choose, so I brought home 2 bottles of all 3! Its not fair to make a choice! GO! Go go go. Its an experience that you will thoroughly enjoy! My girlfriends and I are now making it a monthly get together...fits into our busy schedules and is a hallway point for us (I live in Burnsville) Thank you Jackie, Jeff and Parker, too! We will see you...
Read moreWe had our wedding here and loved it! It’s a perfect blend of rustic charm and simple natural beauty. There weren’t any hidden fees and pretty much everything is included in the venue cost. Jackie was AMAZING. She was extremely helpful and accommodating. She promptly answered our questions and even gave us great suggestions. She also helped me fold my napkins when my setup crew didn’t show up as planned. I’m forever grateful. The venue is dog-friendly and Jackie has two adorable dogs that would, if you are willing, partake as guests. Although, the venue has everything that you would potentially need, there are some quirks to keep in mind. We were told that we could get any alcohol as long as Jackie was made aware. Turns out, it wasn’t the case and we did have to make some slight adjustments. Also, the bar service does not include free water. They only provide bottled water for a fee, but Jackie was upfront regarding this. Even if you don’t have your wedding here, the winery is worth visiting. They have a quaint tasting room, a gorgeous patio, and the wine slushies...
