Vineyard hours

Brrr! It's a cold week and looks like the vines are going to be under snow for the rest of the winter. The vineyard has turned into a sparkling winter wonderland.

We've extended our holiday wine sale through January 3. You can stop out to the vineyard any weekend this month -- including Dec. 26-27 and Jan. 2-3 -- to stock up. It's a concentrated taste of Minnesota sunshine to warm your winter. Happy holidays!

Habitat for Humanity Fundraiser Oct 2009

The vineyard was proud to host Sister Jean and her Habitat for Humanity Fundraiser in October 2009. We're honored to be a part of this cause. Thank you for your work, Sister Jean!

The Grapes Are In! (Harvest is Over...)

Thank you so much for the experience of harvesting the grapes. My daughter and I enjoyed ourselves and meeting the others also out harvesting.

We'll look forward to other opportunities to share with family and friends at your vineyard!

Sincerely,
Angie Macias

JORDAN, Minn. - California has the Napa valley and France has Bordeaux, but Minnesota is making a name for itself in the wine industry.

This weekend is the peak of the grape harvest in Minnesota. Garden Guy Dale K. visited Crofut Winery in Jordan to check it out. Here's his report.

Another New Fan!

KSTP's "Digging the Dirt" host Dale "the Gardener" visited the vineyard this Tuesday morning. It was a cold day in the vineyard, but we had fun picking grapes.

Dale has a great gardening show on Saturday mornings. He just called and told me to check out his new blog entry on am1500.com.

Thanks for the kind words, Dale!

WineGeekTV Visits the Vineyard

October 11, 2009: Jeff and Jeff from winegeektv.com visited the Crofut Family Winery during the Grapestomp last month. What did Jeff think of our wines?
"I can honestly say these far surpassed my expectations. How? They are balanced as almost any wine from anywhere in the world...." Read more of Jeff's review at winegeektv.com!

First Snowfall in the Vineyard

Took these photos early early on October 10, 2009. It's early early for snow, but there it is.
