Urban Forage is a small urban winery located in the heart of Minneapolis. We pick fruit from trees in the city and suburbs and use it to produce natural wines and ciders in our basement production winery. As world travelers ourselves, we welcome visitors to our uniquely Minnesotan winery and are always ready with restaurant recommendations and other travel suggestions.

Must visit place if you visit or live in twin cities. 100% organic hand made wines made from local fruits. Excellent product quality. Prime location near downtown Minneapolis. Very neat and Eco-friendly place. There is something for whole family. Kids loved the place for different games/activities. Very friendly and welcoming staff go above and beyond to make whole family experience to cherish. I would highly recommend this place for everyone to visit alone, with family, or planning an activity.

We had a marvelous time with a wine tasting and some deli goodies to spend the better part of a snowy afternoon in a cozy spot. Always worth the trip, this place just gets better and better.

We had a blast at this place and of course, since we are from Brazil we were contemplated with a bottle of wine, we love this place and the warm welcome that we got. THANKS!

A friend and I came here to try out the winery - little did we know it's also attached to an apple orchard and there is a ton to do! With COVID, we had a wine tasting outside. The tastings were generous portions - we shared one white and one red. All of the wine was good! We will be back to get bottles. The winery is inside of a barn and has a very charming rustic feel. The apple barn part is awesome too - picked up apple brats, apples, candles and wax warmers. Very cute gift shop and place. Can't wait to come back!

WineHaven is a beautiful, family-run, affordable winery. I've had a hard time finding a good winery to go to in Minnesota, and this one is such a gem. Even though it is located off the highway (making it very easy to access), you can't even tell. It seems like the vineyard goes on for miles – and the vines hide the highway. The only thing you can see from the winery is the beautiful lake! The customer service is also incredible. My friends and I got there at 6 pm, even though the winery closes at 7 pm, and the staff let us stick around for an hour and a half after closing to be sure we were all good to drive. I felt very valued as a customer. You can tell they truly care about each and every guest to their winery. There is lots of variety in their wines as well, and they were all really good!

Immerse yourself in the wine-making experience from vine to bottle, stroll through the vineyards or tour the winery and its architecture. As a guest, you will learn about hardy cold-climate grapes and their unique growth and taste properties that make them so well-suited to wine production. Our experts will guide you through a variety of our hand crafted wines in our large tasting room, or in one of our five private tasting rooms.
