4 Best Wineries near Taylors Falls

“If I could give these guys six stars I would. The winery, the wine and beer that is offered and the ladies that work behind the bar, as well as the owners, could not be nicer. We came here for my husband's birthday and we had an absolutely wonderful time. This is a lovely place with good wine to offer. We are excited to come back to the vineyard and camp. Our only regret is the fact that we didn't have any cash on us to tip the staff. We are definitely going to make it up to them when we come back next time, as they so deserve it. Thank you for the wonderful birthday weekend.“

“For our 30th wedding anniversary, we started with the Great River Road Wine Trail, with Chateau St. Croix being the last stop of our 2-day winery touring. This should have been our first stop so we could have stayed for hours! It is a beautiful winery with the BEST wines of our journey. We arrived late in the day and only had time for a quick sampling, so we bought 2 bottles to take home and a glass to take outside onto the gorgeous grounds. We ended up talking with the wine maker/owner Irv and his right-hand vineyard expert Vic for over an hour. After closing, Irv brought out his 'Scarlet' wine "from the rafters," which meant it wasn't ready a year ago so was stored away, but--Oh, my--now it was ready - absolutely divine! We also sampled Marco V Red and Itasca, amongst others. To top off the evening, we got to meet owner Anna (very sweet lady!), who was busy mowing while her husband was giving us an excellent education on the notes and pairings. Needless to say, we loved so many of their wines, we couldn't decide on just a couple, so we ended up going home with 2 cases!“

“Food is great the view is amazing and the wine is delicious (or ferocious for my phones auto correct)

They have flatbreads, paninis, baguettes with spreads. Oh. The flatbreads/pizzas SLAP !

They do group wine tastings ! Ask for Jori she’s hilarious ! She’s also amazing, beautiful, and, deserves a raise.“

“Deer lake winery was a cute little venue. people were awesome, the brushetta was delish. I'm not a wine drinker but the blueberry one I enjoyed. We were there with our husbands for a paint n sip, started off with the guys not really grooving with the whole idea but they did by the time we ended. The only feedback I have for them is to have someone in the art area maybe do a small demo to get people started for those who don't normally paint. Otherwise we had fun.“
