White Rabbit Vineyards & Winery
Welcome to the smallest licensed winery in Minnesota and home of one of the coldest places in North America for growing wine grapes.
But, don’t take our word for it. Try some yourself, or invite some friends over for the evening. With no pretensions to rival the multi-million bottle mega wineries, we take our time to produce high quality, enjoyable wines, using wine grapes bred specifically for Minnesota’s climate by the University of MN and Elmer Swenson.
