It all began with an unexpected twist of fate.

It all began with an unexpected twist of fate—our land was initially purchased for hunting. But as Nate, our co-founder and self-proclaimed wine connoisseur, spent more time here, he saw an opportunity to create something beautiful and lasting. Nate and his wife Jillian, fueled by a mutual love for wine, decided to transform this rugged piece of Minnesota into Wooden Link Vineyard.

Take Their Word For It

"The WLV Estate Red wine is to die for! I’m typically a Pinot Noir fan and this hit just perfectly! So smooth with the perfect finishing taste. I couldn’t get enough and will absolutely be ordering this by the caseload. Love!"

- Summer Mitchell

"I'm a big fan of dry crisp wine. I've had trouble finding a wine produced in MN that fits those criteria. Wooden Link Vineyard wines are the first to hit the spot for me! The Rose is a personal favorite."

- Brody Steineck

"WLV has brought the taste of European wine to the Midwest! Each wine's flavor profile is so much more complex and nuanced than other U.S. wines I've tasted. Hard to believe it was made in Minnesota."

- Emily Showers

"Wooden Link wine is in one word: exquisite. I have never experienced flavor notes like this in a Minnesota wine before. Extremely well refined!"

- Stephanie Steineck

"Kevin, Sigourney and the team at Wooden Link take great pride in growing Minnesota grapes and making elevated Minnesota wines. Their dedication to excellent winemaking shines through in several of their wines, with their Rose and Estate Red being notable standouts. Over time I expect Wooden Link to be widely regarded as a pioneer in Minnesota wines."
