Crow River Winery

Crow River Winery is a Minnesota-based winery located near Hutchinson, established in 2004. The winery focuses on handcrafting wines from locally grown grapes, specifically those suited to cold climates, which are cultivated on five estate-grown vineyards. Mike McBrady, the founder and owner, has a background in software development but returned to his family's farm after his father's passing, where he restored the orchard and grapevines. This led him to develop an interest in University of Minnesota cold climate grapes, eventually growing a significant vineyard operation on the property. The winery also produces hard ciders using apples from its own orchard. Crow River Winery offers wine tastings and experiences, as well as wedding and event hosting capabilities. The winery's focus is on sustainable practices, with an emphasis on locally sourced ingredients and environmentally responsible methods.
