Established in 2004, we sell cold-hardy grapes to the discriminating home wine-maker. Contact us for more
information about the 2009 harvest. We grow: Frontenac, Frontenac Gris, and Prairie Star.
Great wines are a product of 3 unique factors:
  • balanced, well-drained soil
  • a supportive microclimate
  • best practices in growing healthy fruit
At Sanctuary Vineyard, our grapes are grown in soil deposited by
the Wisconsin glacier 11,000 years ago. Glacial soils are naturally
light with good water retention, and produce healthy  vines.

The vineyard faces south on the shores of Lake Pepin, which is
large enough (at 22 miles long and 3 miles wide) to have its own
microclimate. The lake moderates the humidity, providing breezes
that help control insects, and allows the growing season to extend
into the fall, with less risk of an early frost.

We manage our vineyard using best practices identified by experts
at the University of Minnesota and the Minnesota Grape Growers
Association. Natural growing techniques are used whenever possible
to minimize chemical exposure and to create a low-impact
growing environment.
