Willow Brooke Farm

Willow Brooke Farm is a vineyard and winery set in the bluffs of Red Wing, Minnesota, about one hour southeast of the Twin Cities. The property covers 80 acres of rolling hills and includes an expansive vineyard, a 150-year-old historic barn, and a newer year-round indoor reception space. Wine production is boutique-scale: grapes are hand-harvested and sent through custom crush processing, including stainless and oak barrel fermentation, blending, filtering, and bottling. The vineyard grows seven cold-hardy varieties: Blue Bell, Foch, Frontenac, Frontenac Gris, La Crescent, Marquette, and Prairie Star, with plantings added between 2002 and 2016. The farm produces a La Crescent dry white, a dry red blend of Frontenac, Marquette, and Foch, a rosé, and both dry and sweet Frontenac reds. Visiting is event-based: private wine tastings are offered for groups of 10 or more, and the wines are also available at public events held at the venue.
