Minnesota Winery Private Event Venue

Looking for a unique private event space in Minnesota? Consider North Folk Winery; a welcoming, rustic event venue only 1 hour North of the Twin Cities!

North Folk Winery is a Rustic Private Event Venue in MN

North Folk Winery is an ideal choice for rehearsal dinners, retirement parties, birthday parties, wedding showers, class reunions, and other celebrations. The beautiful perennial flower gardens, vineyard, and timber frame tasting room (Vinsted) make a nostalgic and memorable backdrop for any special occasion.  

A 40 x 40 tent is set up for use from June through October and can accommodate up to 125 guests.  A stage and side walls are also available upon request! Our rustic Minnesota venue also includes decorative interior lighting.

Private events taking place inside the Vinsted can be scheduled when the winery is not open to the public.  Set up is allowed before the winey is closed however.

Larger events (more than 45 people) taking place outside can be scheduled based on availability.
