Keepsake Cidery

One of my most memorable visits in Minnesota. Went here with some friends and found great weather and scenery, fun live bluegrass, and nice people! My favorite part, however, was the beautiful, perfect, awe-inspiring goose who roamed the grounds. Every time I saw him, it sent a jolt of adrenaline through my body. Thank you, keepsake goose, for restoring my child-like wonder. Loved seeing u run around. Miss u.

I had Keepsake Cidery on my "must visit" list for when we moved to Minnesota, but when they announced a Cheesefest soon after we arrived, I knew I had to move it up on my itinerary. I only wish it was closer--not a 50 minute drive--so we could visit more regularly! In any case, it is a gorgeous drive through the countryside to Dundas. We were among the first to arrive. The cheese vendors with their samples were set up in Russet Hall, while the main commercial building had special Cheesefest version of their "toasties," their grilled sandwiches. The shop also had chilled and room temperature ciders along with other items like frozen meat, local maple syrup and honey, and Keepsake swag. The bar has a great menu of the ciders along with tasting flights, and my husband was even able to have a beer. After a toastie, salad, and a cider flight, we checked out the cheesemakers and bought some of their lovely cheese. By that time, the crowd was starting to come in, so I was glad we arrived when we did to order food! We had a truly lovely time there and I look forward to trying the cider bottles that we bought!

Great place to hang out and chill for a day or whole weekends. If you love cider and outdoors this place is for you. I have only tried the dry cider so far and they're great. Tangy. Slightly fizzy. Not too sweet. Great paired with their sandwiches. That day special was BLT. tomatoes from neighboring farm. Plucked in the morning. Can't go wrong. Watched performance by "pick up truck opera" by mixed precipitation production. Just a magical day. Just stroll in the apple orchard when you got lost in your daydream there

This place is down a gravel road near Northfield, very well marked, just follow the signs. The place is really nice. Order inside, lots of choices. I tried a "dry" flight and a "not-dry" flight. Had some faves in both, the Medium of the non-dry and the Wild of the dry. They have these lovely toasted sandwiches; I had salami and rye, my friend had the turkey and Gouda. So good and we got a platter of hummus, crackers, cheese curds and olives. Everything was so fresh and tasty. Worth the drive!

Service-5 starFood-5 starCider-2 starI wanted so badly to love the cider because the service was spot on and the setting/atmosphere was amazing. But alas, I just can't. The sweetest cider was still too bitter for my liking. This place is definitely family friendly. There are horses, corn hole or bags, depending on where you're from, darts, etc. It was fun and relaxing all at the same time.

So kid friendly!! Our girls had fun running around while we enjoyed the live music. We will be back!!

Was told an address down a dirt road in the middle of nowhere.In short HolySxxx. Coming from England, I have drank quite a bit of cider these guys have it down to a science. I even got to meet the owner, warm hearted genuinely nice guy.Overall, there is something for every taste. Extremely family friendly. Now more than ever in these unusual times, very respectful towards their guests in everyway. Food on site. Fun place for kids to run around.I wish they were closer.

Loved this family owned Apple orchard, we met with family and friends for cider and toasties and live music we had an awesome time and made new friends. The owner came out to our table to make sure we were all well taken care of. It was great.

Great family owned business in an idyllic farm setting along the Cannon River. I didn't try the food, although it looked delicious. Very nice bar and tap room. Nice outdoor patio area. Large variety of ciders from dry to sweet available as tasters or full glasses. Friendly staff. Non-alcoholic beverages available. I definitely will be back!

Keepsake cidery is a charming little place on a lovely farm, where they grow the apples they use to make the cider. I prefer sweeter ciders and they had enough to choose from though they have more options on the dry side. They have a lovely menu of local food as well, with plenty of gluten free options. It was such a lovely way to spend a beautiful saturday afternoon on their patio with friends! Plenty of space to sit outside and feel socially distant. I left with half a case of cider to bring home too!
