Frisky Fox Vineyard & Winery

Riceville, IA

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.

Blufftop Vineyard and Winery

Blufftop Vineyard

Winona, MN

We are a small 4 acre vineyard and farm winery near Dakota, Minnesota in Winona County. We started growing grapes in 2018 and feature three varieties, Itasca, Petite Pearl and Crimson Pearl. We developed a passion for wine making following years of going on wine tours and becoming members of a home wine making group, The Fermented Friends. We decided to apply for a Farm Winery license so we could share our wines and opened our farm winery in the fall of 2022. We offer sampling year-round, LIVE music in the warmer months and limited hours through the winter. We do have a small indoor seating area and hope to do an expansion in 2025. We hope you’ll stop by to sample our wines, enjoy a glass or take a few bottles home with you!

Founded by four Luther alumni, fueled by two head-brewers and driven by a small taproom team (and the occasional volunteer), this modest brewery embraces the opportunity to produce and serve exciting and innovative beers.
