This weekend is our final weekend of the harvest season, and we’re open rain or shine! Don’t let a little rain stop you from filling your baskets with fresh, beautiful grapes before we close up for the year. Grab your boots, rain jacket, and family or friends for one last vineyard adventure! 🌧️✂️

It is possible this will be our LAST weekend of harvest this season! We had very limited Marquette available when we left the vineyard last Sunday. Itasca was at it's peak, but there was still some available along with lots of Frontenac Gris. Check back for un update on brix and pH on Saturday morning. There has been lots of rain in the area so it will be interesting to see those results.

The sun is shining, the air is crisp, and our Frontenac Gris vines are absolutely bursting with ripe, golden-pink grapes just waiting to be harvested! 🍇✨

Ironically, while our rows are loaded with fruit, we are currently sitting right out in the vineyard... sipping a perfectly chilled, insanely delicious Frontenac Gris made from last year’s harvest. It’s light, crisp, packed with bright stonefruit and tropical notes, and proof of just how incredible this grape makes a finished w**e! 🍷☀️

The only problem? These beautiful grapes won't pick themselves, and it’s a shame to leave all this potential sitting on the vine!

🍇 Still looking for the ultimate weekend harvest? Our Frontenac Gris is overflowing and ready for you!

If you haven't made w**e with Frontenac Gris yet, you’re missing out on one of Minnesota's absolute best cold-hardy grapes. It produces a stunning, amber-gold white w**e bursting with tropical fruit aromas, bright citrus, and subtle peach notes. Whether you’re crafting a crisp off-dry white, a luscious dessert w**e, or a vibrant rosé-style blend, this versatile grape is a w**emaker's dream.

Bring your buckets and a few friends out to the vineyard this weekend to grab yours before the season closes! You never know when the grapes will sell out.
