Minnesota WineriesWelcome to our Minnesota Wineries Page, Minnesota is a very cold climate for viticulture and many grape varieties require protection from the winter weather by being buried under soil for the season. Minnesota is home to extensive research on cold-hardy French hybrid and other grape varieties. Horticulturalist Elmer Swenson created commercially-successful, cold-climate varieties in Minnesota including the Edelweiss and St. Croix grapes.
