About Report

We currently have 24 premium Minnesota wines from fruits that grow in the North Country. Rhubarb is grown on-site and additional fruits and berries are purchased from local growers when available. Wines are available for tasting and sale in the Winery tasting room. At Forestedge Winery, we produce five to six thousand gallons of wine per year, crafting our wine in small batches.

FAQs Report

Forestedge Winery is a Federal and State Licensed MN Farm Winery that either grows what we need to make wine or buy the fruit from people that grow for us. The conversion of fruit and juice to wine, the aging, the blending and bottling all happens here. Although we started out raising most of the fruit we needed to make our wines, today all we raise is lots of Rhubarb depending on our growers for the balance.

Good wine. However, the workers here are extremely slow and stupid acting. They didn’t seem to understand the concept of pushing two tables together, instead tried to turn down a group of 5. They should try a bit harder to please their customers.

Great variety of wine flights to try. Very friendly staff and it was easy for our group to split the bill. Raspberry wine tasted like fresh berries plucked from a bush.

Quaint winery with nice owners and staff. It’s fruit wine and that is what we expected; however, when we ordered meat and cheese they brought out a literal bag of cheese and bag of meat… I would suggest they try to dress that up a bit with providing a platter.

Great little winery, no grapes!
All the wines are fruit based, but none from grapes. Pro tip: if you want something that tastes like a more transitional wine, the Black Currant is the best option. The rest taste like the fruit they list, and all are a unique spin on wines. Def worth the visit!

Visited on 10-18-2019 a very fall like day. Windy and about 55 degrees. No indoor seating so we found a neat little table on the patio. We finished one bottle that was really good.
We tasted first inside. Seven little wines. Some I liked some not so much.
This is a very unique place. Can you believe none of their wines are made from grapes.
Try this place we were pleasantly surprised.
I added some pictures.
If you like zinnias, can you imagine what those beauties would have looked like before the frost got them. I’ve never seen zinnias that tall. Someone has very green thumb.

Great place to visit. There is a wide range of wines and it was a real pleasure going through the tastings. Only 5 dollars for tasting of 7 wines. We found a few we really loved!!! The store is really neat and the people there were great. A must-stop if you are in the area.
