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!"

"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
