Reviews for Falconer Vineyards in Red Wing, MN
I'd love to leave a review of their wines, but we left before we could try any. Interesting setting, but not a good first visit... - we entered and looked at the list on the counter but weren't greeted at all. When we inquired about food, it took 5 questionsto finally be told it would be over an hour wait. I'm glad they were busy, as they obviously didn't need our patronage. Read more
The pizza we ordered was burnt and potatoes were undercooked - almost raw. I had high hopes for the wine, but it turned out to... be bitter and salty tasting. The only redeeming aspect was the scenery. Read more
We stopped in mid-April for drinks. The location is great, and hidden amongst houses (Guessing those were built way after the... winery). The outdoor seating and patio are very good, and they also have good indoor seating for bad weather. Starting in Maythey also do wood fired pizzas in their outdoor brick pizza oven on Fridays and Saturdays. I wish we were able to try that out,but they do offer some small appetizers the rest of the year too. My wife and I both did a wine flight and mimosa. We triedmost of the whites, and a few reds, all were good. We both also enjoyed the mimosas a lot. Read more
Not very inviting coming in driving, the walk through the back room to the patio is very odd. Wines were some of the least... favorite of the five vineyards we visited that day. The view of the patio is amazing. The cardboard cup holders are a nicetouch. Read more
Beautiful location on hillside. Challenging for large vehicles and trailers over 16ft. We got our 32ft trailer backed towards... barn above winery only because of 4x4 low and not many cars. They have the best full body flavor from UofM grapes. They decidedto skip 90% of the ciders due to covid. Food menu too - just flights and cups/bottles. Pleasant staff Read more
There are loads of reasons to love this place. I am going to talk about 4 of them: 1) the wine; 2) the wood-fired pizza; 3) the... service; and 4) the amazing Martin Zellar. 1. The wine was excellent. We tried Marquette (a red) and Snowy White (a white). TheMarquette was a bit sweeter than I was expecting but still delicious. The Snowy White was quite refreshing and brilliant,especially given it was a warm day. The hints of pineapple in it were amazing! 2. There are a wide variety of unique wood-firepizza options to choose from. I went for the Thai Chicken and it was fabulous. Not disappointed! On a side note, I am notcertain what makes their crust different here but it was so delicious that I ate it. Usually I don't--that's just the way I'vebeen my whole life. 3. Our server, Brittany, was so attentive, informative, and efficient. She could not have done a betterjob--and it was really busy. She's amazing and I hope she's thoroughly appreciated! 4. We came to Falconer Vineyards for MartinZellar, in specific. We've been following him and his groups for a long time...a really long time! Seeing the acoustic show herewhile enjoying everything else was phenomenal. So, if you love music and have the chance to indulge here--indulge! Thank youfor the wonderful experience, Falconer Vineyards! Read more
Had a great time here sampling wines. Was a big fan of the cider and some of the whites. Extremely helpful staff and I bet the... place is gorgeous in the summer when it isnt covered in snow. Cannot wait to check out their outdoor patio sometime in thesummer as well. Read more
We drove all the way here to find a lady in the parking lot saying they are closing early. When I asked about their hours she... said the hours didn't change, they just decided to close 2 hours early. That was a fun half hour drive for nothing. Read more
