Saint Croix Vineyards - Stillwater

There was also a small train pulled by a tractor, but the cars seemed precariously close to falling off. It cost $5 for just a couple of laps around the track, which felt quite outrageous. On a positive note, they did offer a nice range of drinks, wine, and food, which, although a bit pricey, didn’t seem overly extravagant. The kids loved petting the goats, which was a fun highlight of our visit.

It was a lovely day, and it was a perfect place to savor some excellent wine while watching numerous young families come to pick apples. I really enjoyed the red wines! I also tried the apple brats for the first time, and they were fantastic!

Best wine around, the wine slushy are such a yummy summer treat. Check out Yoga in the Vines Sundays at 10am for an hour of yoga and a glass of wine all for 20! Sign up liveyourtruthyoga.net

The wines were decent, but the vineyard doesn't seem to be using enough of its own grapes to truly qualify as a vineyard. There is plenty of outdoor seating available, but most of it isn't very comfortable or visually appealing. The atmosphere felt more like a church picnic or a biker festival than a vineyard experience. Our host, Ken, was friendly and knowledgeable, though he did unintentionally make a somewhat disparaging remark about my Wisconsin heritage. On the positive side, I appreciated that they allowed us to bring our own snacks.
