About this Event:

Ready to trade the city noise for rows of vines and a glass of local wine? Join us for a laid-back afternoon at Minnesota’s first commercial winery, Alexis Bailly Vineyard. Whether you’re a seasoned oenophile or just here for the scenery, this is the perfect spot to reconnect with nature and your fellow group members.

We’ll be taking advantage of the vineyard's picnic-friendly policy, so feel free to pack a spread of your favorite snacks. If you forget your basket, their onsite deli has a great selection of local cheeses, meats, and crackers available for purchase.

What We’ll Be Doing:

• Wine Tasting: Sample a flight of estate grown wines, ranging from smooth reds to refreshing rosés.
• Vineyard Strolls: Take a walk through the picturesque grounds and explore the sculpture park tucked among the vines.
• Bocce Ball: Challenge a new friend to a game on the vineyard's regulation bocce courts.
• Good Conversation: We’ll grab a spot in the outdoor seating area to relax and enjoy the pastoral views.

What to Bring:

• A Picnic Blanket: While there is outdoor seating, a blanket gives us more flexibility to lounge near the vines.
• Your Own Food: Feel free to bring a full lunch or just some light bites.
• Nature-Friendly Vibe: Dress for the weather and prepare for a relaxed, outdoor experience.

Good to Know:

• Parking: There is a free parking lot available on-site.
• Dogs: Well-behaved, leashed dogs are typically welcome on the grounds.
• Winery Rules: No outside beverages (besides water) are allowed.
  Come for the wine, stay for the sunshine and good company. See you at the wine! 🍷
