The St Croix Vineyard and City Tour
Our first tour will be June 27. We will be renting a coach bus and departing from the Northern Suburbs. This Minnesota wine tour covers part of the St. Croix River valley and is estimated to be six hours long and will take you through Stillwater, up the beautiful St. Croix river to the Taylor’s Falls region with stops at Stillwater, Taylors Falls, Chateau St. Croix, Northern Vineyards, and Maple Island Brewing.
We have a wonderful tour planned. However, due to weather, schedules at the vineyards, or other unforeseen issues, the tour may be changed slightly to other vineyards or the order changed around.
Depart Arden Hills at 10:00 AM
Arrive in Stillwater, MN at 10:45
In Stillwater, we will make one stop to Northern Vineyards. You may also visit Maple Island Brewing next door if you wish. We are including the wine tasting at Northern Vineyards, but a beer or a flight at Maple Island is on your own.
Northern Vineyards
At Northern Vineyards, you will enjoy a 10-sample flight of their wines. If the weather cooperates, they have a lovely patio with views of the St. Croix River.
Maple Island Brewery
Maple Island Brewery has $5 beers and a $10 flight. Feel free to walk next door to enjoy these on your own.
This Stillwater stop will be just over one hour to give you time to see both venues if desired. It is also a great place to just hang out on the deck.
Depart for Taylor’s Falls at 11:50
Arrive In Taylor’s Falls by 12:25
There are several restaurants in Taylor’s Falls, including a bakery, a sports bar, a drive in, and a malt shop. We will stop here for an hour and a half for you to tour this beautiful river city and get a bite to eat.
