Fountain Hill Winery & Vineyard

Fountain Hill Winery and Vineyard in Delano, Minnesota offers something increasingly rare in the Twin Cities wine scene: an actual working vineyard alongside the tasting room. With a 4.3 rating from early visitors, the operation is still building its audience but already delivering a genuine vineyard experience. Delano sits on the Wright County side of the metro, about 30 miles west of Minneapolis along Highway 12. It's a quieter corner of the region, and the winery fits naturally into the area's rural, small-town character.

The tasting room lets visitors sample wines produced right on the property, which adds a farm-to-glass authenticity you don't always get at urban wine bars. Fountain Hill's vineyard component means you can see where the grapes are actually grown, giving the tasting experience more context and depth. Staff can walk you through what's currently available, including any seasonal or limited releases. Guests often combine the tasting with a casual stroll through the vineyard grounds when the weather allows.

Fountain Hill Winery and Vineyard is located in Delano, MN, serving visitors from Wright County and the surrounding western metro area. Communities like Buffalo, Montrose, and Waverly are close by, and the winery also draws guests from Plymouth and Maple Grove looking for a quick countryside escape. Highway 12 makes it straightforward to reach from the western suburbs.
