Whitewater Wines

A Great Place to Relax, and Better-Than-Expected winesI tried 7 wines here (a 'flight' and I sipped from two others that came with me) and all but one were to my liking. I would never have expected a wine outlet in Minnesota to have such complex & interesting wines. The venue is comfortable - we sat outside for over an hour and despite a fast-moving downpour it was wonderful. The grounds are elegantly landscaped and we took a short walk afterwards. Our hostess was pretty elegant herself as well as helpful & charming - as good as they get! I bought two bottles of my favorite of the 7 wines I tried, "Unequivocal." Highly Recommended if you're in the area. Check It Out!

Of course you need to stop at a winery while you're out camping. :-) A group of 7 of us visited on a fall afternoon and had a lovely time! There's plenty of outdoor seating among gorgeous gardens or indoor seating if the weather drives you inside. There's a wide variety of wines to choose from with make-your-own and set flights which they'll bring out to your table. I had a glass of Minnesota Summer (raspberry/rhubarb sparkling wine) plus bought a bottle to bring home. All the others in my group had flights that come with six tastings. If you'd like a nibble with your wine, there's a small menu of local cheeses, meats and snacks. Two in my group had the bread with olive oil and balsamic vinegar. I'm surprised they didn't pick up the plate to lick it afterwards (although they did mop up the leftover oil with oyster crackers). The service was spot on! There are wood blocks on the table to indicate when you'd like your next tasting poured or to order food. It makes for a very relaxing visit not craning your neck trying to get a server's attention or waiting at a bar for a spot to open up. Tip: bring your wine passport and get $8 off a tasting or glass of wine!

Cute stop for wine! They have a large selection and you can try a flight for $10. They have a very limited menu of local cheeses and meats. Nothing fancy. The view they have there is stunning!

This place is so cool! I'm not really an avid wine drinker, but I went wine tasting here with my older brother and his fiancé after a quick hike and was really pleased. The location is easy to find and has ample parking available outside the business (attached to the family home). The terrace outside is a seat yourself situation and the landscaping is fantastic. I don't usually particularly notice landscaping, but I couldn't help but be impressed by the Martini's design of their yard/terrace.The service was superb and the owner herself checked in with us consistently, but not too much to where it became annoying. The prices are also very affordable with tastes being $1 and a class being $5. I was pretty happy with the taste of the four wines we tasted. My favorites were definitely The Ninth Course (a dessert wine) and their Sangria (The Sangria is so freaking good!).Overall this place is a great find which has been around for seven years (I finally am old enough to go). The atmosphere of this family run business is warm and welcoming which is perfect for a winery.

This place is off the beaten path but is a great find, especially for SE MN! Although I'm usually a red wine drinker, I really enjoyed the whites and found myself buying a couple bottles of Fischer Hill White. I'm sure I'll visit again next time I'm back in the area.

This place is gorgeous and the wines match the scenery. The port is especially delicious!

My friends and I went to Whitewater Wines last Friday looking for things to do while camping nearby. We were greeted warmly by Wanda and the beautiful garden surrounding the outdoor seating area. We all had a fantastic time and there wasn't a wine we didn't like!

Eric and Wanda have created a wonderful place to relax and enjoy some of the best wines I have had. During the summer they have free live music on select Saturday nights which adds to the experience. The staff is knowledgeable and friendly. I am in Rochester so it is just a short drive and well worth it.

Quant little spot, service was excellent and the animals were adorable. Oh the wine was good too! A very wide selection and definitely worth the drive!

hidden gem! great selection, pretty area, nice people! worth the drive!!! it is seasonal, so make sure to check first
