Wild Mountain Winery

Went camping near this winery and we couldn't be more pleased with the stop. Live music on the weekends- Russel Schidmt is a national treasure if you have a chance to hear him- the wine slushies are scrumptious, vibes are very homey and I always love supporting a a small family business. If you stop in for wine, try the white wine flight- solid options all round. All of the servers and staff were lovely and I can't recommend it enough

Great wine in a peaceful environment. The hosts were very nice folk and eager to make our visit a great one!

Our newly turned 6 year olds had a blast here! We came on a Thursday (less crowded) and bought the family 4 pack- great deal!We did the go carts, the jump, all the water slides and the favorite -alpine slides!!We spent a good four hours here,! Packed our lunches and had a great picnic. They have plenty of food (and drink options too)

I've seen some advertisements for this winery and finally decided to meet friends there on a Friday evening. The pleasant drive north brought us through the surrounding mix of hills, valleys and farms. We enjoyed the views and the casual warm atmosphere of the winery. We enjoyed the wine sampling, taking a stroll around the property and listening to the live band. A few people were staying in nice tents scattered in the vineyard which you are able to reserve. It was a very nice evening out with friends and friendly staff. I am looking forward to returning when we have a chance.

We had a Groupon here and stopped by with some friends. We enjoyed our little walk around the vineyard on our way to the tasting. We enjoyed our glass of wine and the cheese and crackers. On our way out, we selected a bottle of wine to take home. The whole experience was really fun. The fall colors in the area were also very nice.

Tucked away deep in Chisago County is this small winery. There are a few buildings and an outdoor area for parties. The tasting is one building and bottles and gift shop in another. The road leading in is difficult to spot unless you see the sign. It is a simple two rutted dirt and grass road leading to an unpaved parking lot. I like the feeling this rural area provides.There is a nice selection of mostly fruity wines made from local ingredients and the staff is very nice. You get to sample six wines in a tasting. There is a menu of sorts explaining the wines which you'll have to depend on. This was a pleasant find after hiking in the State Park and I get to sample six chilled wines. I'll make a trip here again.

Three of us stopped in here during our Ladies Weekend after snowboarding (ie flailing down the bunny hill) at Wild Mountain. Although we came here in the winter when everything was dead and cold, we still had a lovely evening at Wild Mountain Winery. The snow-covered grounds and cozy tasting room were still a treat. The quaint tasting room and wine samples really warmed us up.And the value was great! We shared 16 wine tastings for just $15 total! There's free popcorn, dark chocolate is provided for the last red wine, and you can also purchase a meat and cheese board. They give you a laminated wine list and a dry-erase marker, so you can make notes during your tasting. There is an assortment of seating, a few board games, and a guitar to enjoy between sipping. I am no connoisseur of wine, so all I know is I like the whites better than the reds haha. They started dry to sweet, and I liked the ones that were middle-of-road. Some we loved, some we didn't like at all. There was also a barrel aged cider in there, and we actually bought a bottle of that to bring home!

Napa or Sonoma Valley-it's not. But I did enjoy our wine sampling experience here, Minnesota-style. We had a Groupon and invited our friends to come with us. After following the gps directions to the vineyard, we hiked up the "Let the Adventures Begin" trail from the parking lot to the wine tasting room. The staff at the WMW were wonderful: NOT haughty like Napa Valley wine snob staff. We sampled a lot of local wines and had cheese & crackers and a kiss of dark chocolate with our glasses of wine out in the patio area. We picked out a nice bottle of their rose wine to take home to enjoy!

After a day of hiking around the Taylors falls area, what better way than to wind down than with a glass of wine, free popcorn, and live music. We do the couples wine tasting. It's $15 and two people can try all the wines listed on their tasting menu. The wines are generally sweeter since they are using MN grapes. I am a fan of the arrowhead red which is one of their dry red wines. They have patio seating available and you can see the vines from your seat. They have live music for a few hours on a Saturday along with wood fire pizza - check their website ahead of time so you can plan your visit!

So I really want to have a good wine tasting experience in Minnesota having moved here from Northern California but I really don't think its in the cards.We stopped by this place based on the yelp reviews on our way back from WI. Winery was cute, wines were decent but the wine tasting experience not so much. They have a few different options on tastings- couples tasing where you can taste all the wines and an individual one. The problem wasn't the tasting options, it was the process. I didn't like the fact that they just pour me some wine, don't tell me anything about the wines and then give me tokens for the rest of the tastings that you use when you want to taste the next one. Basically you are paying to drink. Not for a tasting experience.Isn't the point of the tasting to understand the wine and figure out that you like and then hey! if you really like something you buy a bottle? But no. Sad because I really wanted this to be much more than just paying to drink little sips of wine.
