A brief history
We are Minnesota's 2nd oldest winery and we've been innovating cold-climate wines for 32 years. Paul Quast and Peter Hemstad founded Saint Croix Vineyards in 1992. Peter, an accomplished grape breeder, is largely responsible for creating many of the cold climate-hardy varietals grown in northern latitudes of North America and Europe. These include: Frontenac, Frontenac Gris, Marquette, La Crescent, and Itasca.
Our rustic tasting room is in a restored century-old barn is located just west of scenic Stillwater, MN. Come sample our award-winning expressions of these unique hybrid varietals.
