WEN MN Member's Only Local Wine Tasting Event - online registration is closed.

Event time: 6-8pm on Wednesday, May 15, 2013

Online registration is closed.  Walkups are still allowed.  See pricing below.

Join the WEN MN Members for a local wine tasting event at Warehouse Winery in St. Louis Park. This award winning winery was started by winemaker Billy Smith in which he “planted over 400 cold climate Marquette grape vines in his front yard”.  Today the wines are blends of Minnesota’s finest cold hardy grapes with selected varietals from Northern California. In 2012 they won the Finger Lake International Wine Competition and were voted Best Minnesota White and Red wine by Food and Wine Experience.  You must be 21 years old or older to attend, please bring an ID.

The evening will begin with a variety of wine samplings and light appetizers while learning about the vineyard and its history followed by a tour of its artistically crafted winery.

Purchase of bottles of wine this evening will be discounted.

$20 for WEN MN members
$45 for Non-WEN MN members (includes a membership)

Location:  Warehouse Winery at 6415 Cambridge Street in St. Louis Park, MN 55426.  The winery is off of Cedar Lake Trail bike route (just west of the Midtown Greenway) and accessible by a few buses. Metro Transit
