Harvest Happiness & Minnesota Fall Family Activities
Harvest Happiness Awaits: Crafting Family Traditions at Rolling Forks Vineyards This Fall!
As the leaves begin their vibrant transformation and a crisp autumn breeze whispers through the air, there’s a magical transformation happening at Rolling Forks Vineyards. Beyond the Twin Cities metro, and nestled in the heart of Minnesota's picturesque landscape, our vineyard blossoms into a haven for wholesome family fun and unforgettable fall traditions. This harvest season, we invite you to step away from the everyday and immerse yourselves in the warmth and wonder of our farm, creating cherished memories that will last a lifetime. Join us for Minnesota Fall Family Activities!
Uncorking Autumn Adventures: A Feast for the Senses
At Rolling Forks Vineyards, we believe that the best memories are made together, surrounded by nature's bounty. Our Harvest Season activities, running from August through October, are designed to connect you with the land, the flavors, and each other. Imagine the joyful laughter echoing through our incredible 11-acre Corn Maze, one of the largest in the area, as your family navigates its twists and turns, working together to find the way out.
Then, head over to our U-Pick Pumpkin Patch, where the perfect pumpkin for carving or baking patiently awaits. Little hands (and big ones!) will delight in searching for that ideal gourd, fostering a sense of accomplishment and the true spirit of autumn. These aren't just activities; they're moments etched into the fabric of your family story.
Beyond the Maze: A Tapestry of Traditions
The heart of our harvest lies in the opportunity to experience the very essence of winemaking. Join us for unique experiences like picking your own grapes (yes, you can!), or get hands-on with our "Grape & Gather" experience, focusing on our beloved Marquette varietal (by reservation). It's a chance to truly connect with the source of our award-winning Minnesota wines and appreciate the journey from vine to bottle.
Mark your calendars for our spectacular Fall Festival (September 26th-28th), a weekend brimming with live music, delectable wine tastings, cold beer, friendly bean bag tosses, local vendors, and the simple joy of kite flying under wide-open skies. And for those seeking a truly enchanting evening, our 5th Annual Harvest Dinner, enjoyed under the starlit sky, offers a culinary journey perfectly paired with our premium wines – a sophisticated yet comfortable tradition to savor.
For the adventurous, our geocache treasure hunt provides a thrilling way to explore the estate, while self-guided tours allow you to wander at your own pace, soaking in the beauty of our vineyards. On select weekends, cozy hayrides offer a charming way to see the farm. And as October approaches, prepare for a playful fright with "Fright in the Field," transforming our corn maze into a Halloween adventure for five freaky nights!
Your Family's Fall Tradition Starts Here
At Rolling Forks Vineyards, we're more than just a winery; we're a destination where stories are born and traditions flourish. We invite our friends from across Minnesota and especially our neighbors in the Twin Cities metro area to escape to the serene beauty of Lake Minnewaska.
