Frisky Fox Vineyard & Winery

Riceville, IA

(8) Our vineyard is located on our family farm near Riceville, IA. We raised swine and horses back in the ’70s and ’80s. Now we rent out the farmland and tend to the vineyard. We planted the first 30 vines in 2010; they were damaged by a tornado on May 22, 2011. The roof of the old house landed on the grape trellis, 300 feet from house. The tornado also destroyed the grain bin and all of the old hog buildings. Since then, the vineyard has expanded to 550 vines currently growing on the property.

Hoppy Girl Brewing

Wabasha, MN

(15) Good beer can be found in many places. Great beer, however, is not so easy to find. Some of the best beer is made off the beaten path, by an artist with a simple passion. A brewer with this passion brews hand-crafted small batch beers to be shared with family and friends, and they are not generally found at your average watering hole. Lucky for you, there is a taproom in the back alley of our B&B where just such beers can be found! Come enjoy some unique and unforgettable flavors.
