Minnesota isn’t exactly known for its acres upon acres of vineyards. But the Land of 10,000 Lakes does have some stake in the world of wines. Our state is home to many beautiful wineries that produce equally beautiful Minnesota-made wines. We’ve covered some of them in the past, like North Folk Winery in Harris and Four Daughters Winery in Spring Valley. But there are plenty of others to add to the list.
