Beyond Chardonnay: Discover La Crescent Wine from Minnesota
The story of La Crescent is one of purposeful creation, validating the dedication of the University of Minnesota’s horticultural program.

This wasn’t a happy accident of nature; it was a strategic pairing aimed at achieving a specific goal: a grape that could not only survive the rigors of a northern climate but also produce wines of genuine quality and character. The breeders weren’t simply seeking resilience; they were aiming for elegance.
