About Us
The Crofut Family Winery &
Vineyard is a 63-acre farm and vineyard. There are 6.5 acres
of commercial vines planted in 2003-2004, including University of
Minnesota varieties: Frontenac, Frontenac Gris, and LaCrescent. The
test vineyard, located at the entrance to the property, is assessing
experimental grape vine varieties for hardiness, disease resistance
and of course, taste!
The Crofut family has been making wine for
three generations. Don has won numerous awards for his winemaking at State
and County Fairs. Visitors will see the grape harvest and processing of
grapes for juice and wine production.
Call us about a tour of
the vineyard! Tours include a video presentation, tour of our vineyards,
winemaking facility, cask room and bottling area with an expert guide and
conclude with a wine tasting. All guests are welcome to walk the vineyards;
guests younger than 21 are restricted from the wine tasting, but are welcome
to taste the grape juice available upon request. Please bring a driver’s
license or other proper identification.

At the Crofut
Family Winery, winemaking is an art and a science. Grapes are picked by
hand and wines are aged in oak barrels. Crofut Family Winery houses the bottling, labeling and distribution of the wines.
