The Cellar
Fifteen wines.
One stubborn vision.
Every bottle begins in our own rows: cold-hardy vines bred to survive a Minnesota January and thrive in a Minnesota July.

Find your pour.
Estate White · 2021 Dry
Frontenac Blanc
Light, crisp aromas of pear with a clean finish. Sunshine off the lake in a glass, beautiful with our wood-fired margherita.
Estate White · 2022 Gold Medal 2022
Itasca
Bright and fresh, with notes of green apple and peach and an off-dry finish. The newest star of northern viticulture.
Estate White · 2022
Brianna
Pronounced floral aromatics with a tropical flavor, yet light and crisp. The white that smells like August feels.
Estate White · 2022 2× Governor's Cup
La Crescent
Citrusy, with the aroma of lemon and a semi-sweet heart. The bottle that never survives a patio night.
Estate White Fan Favorite
Edelweiss
Light body and semi-sweet, smooth with intense aromas. Minnesota's sweetheart white: serve it well-chilled and watch it disappear.
Estate White Sold Out
St. Pepin
Honeyed apple and melon with a soft landing. Our porch-swing white is resting until the next release; ask when you visit.
Estate Red Flagship
Marquette
Light body and ruby color, with notes of cherry, blackberries, and a pepper finish. The grape that put Minnesota on the wine map.
Estate Red · 2018 Barrel Aged
Total Eclipse
A blend of St. Croix and Maréchal Foch: rich flavors of plum and blackberries, a hint of cocoa, and toasty, velvety tannins.
Estate Red · 2020
Viking
A northern Frontenac with backbone: wild berry, woodsmoke, and just enough sweetness to make peace between the dry and sweet camps.
Estate Red · 2018 Sold Out
Aurora Red
Jammy raspberry and dark cherry from Marquette fruit, easy like a long summer dusk. Gone for now; back with the next vintage.
Specialty · 2020 Small Lot
Voyageur
Dark berries with a touch of bourbon: a Frontenac aged three months in a bourbon barrel. Built for the fire ring, and only two dozen bottles remain.
Specialty · 2018 Fortified · 18%
American Rebel
A port-style wine aged three years: caramel on the nose, dark chocolate on the tongue, fortified to 18%. Raise one to the ones who served.
Specialty · 2021 Aged in Maker's Mark Barrels
Muni
A limited-edition Frontenac aged in Maker's Mark bourbon barrels, with a rich backstory and just twelve bottles left. Ask us for the full story.
Fruit Wine
Razzberry
An excellent red fruit wine with an intense raspberry aroma and flavor. Summer in a glass, any month of the year.
Fruit Wine Gold Medal 2022
Rhubarb - Razzberry
The perfect blend of rhubarb and raspberries: tart, sweet, very flavorful, and unapologetically Minnesotan.

Harvest at the HollowWhy Cold-Hardy?
Vines that earn
every degree.
Our grapes (Marquette, Itasca, La Crescent, Frontenac Blanc) were bred by the University of Minnesota to survive −30° winters. The struggle concentrates flavor: brighter acidity, deeper fruit, wines with a sense of place you can't fake.
That's how a Foley vineyard beat every winery in the state, twice, for the Governor's Cup.
