We visited Four Daughters with friends. Beautiful building and grounds. The main building architecture is amazing! Patio was beautiful! We paid the small amount and did the flight tasting. The whites were delicious! We ordered appetizers, sloppy joe nachos and pizza. Both were very tasty. We then each ordered a dessert, which are very good sized. I can not wait to go back there for food and drinks again this fall!
It was a very pleasant time. Celebrating an anniversary with friends. Quiet and wonderful service. Smiles are important to me, waitress was full of smiles and telling us about the name and the different wines. Price was on the high end but well worth it. We will go again when in the area.
Stopped into Four Daughter's Winery after seeing it on the road on our way back to Minneapolis. It was quite a surprise to us to see such a large winery so far out there (and in Minnesota, especially). The building is very cool and we first thought it was a church.We both stopped in and had a glass of wine each. I had the GSM 744, a Granache, Syrah, and Mourvedre. It was quite fruity but lighter and very good. I would recommend this if you don't like deeper red wines. My girlfriend tried the Marquette. It was very rich, but medium-bodied red blend. It was very good and would recommend it to red wine lovers.The owner came to visit all the tables and told us more about what they do and talked at length about their restaurant they have on sight. The menu looked great but we weren't hungry. He also brought over a small glass of Sangria on the house, which was nice. It was SO good. I could probably drink a gallon of it and not blink an eye.Would stop by again if we are in the area or near Rochester.
A visit to the Four Daughters provides an opportunity for relaxation while enjoying good wine and good food. The whites and the reds are both great and the food menu has a nice variety so everyone can find something that they will enjoy. Friendly staff!
My daughter and I just happened upon this winery. It looked inviting and new so we turned around and went inside. The red and white wine flight are each $5 for 5 tastings. Our server was very knowledgeable and very friendly. She told us about the history of the winery and learned that three of the four daughters and their husbands are involved in the winery. We met the owner and he was very personable. He told us that they also sell hard cider and a sparkling white wine will be sold this summer. He gave us a sample of the hard cider and it was quite good. We found that some of the white wines were a bit sweeter than we would like but we did buy one bottle of one we did like. Since we had eaten in Rochester, we did not try their food. The menu looked wonderful, creative and reasonably priced. We need to return and try their food as well.
It was a great experience. The food was good. Tasting of the wine was excellent. We were given 5 different wines to taste. We could have red or white.
Tough to narrow it down to just a few items to share, there were so many tasty sounding dishes. It was fun to share both the red and white wine tastings for lunch so the experience was well worth going a bit out of the way for. It would be well worth the trip if you were going to Rochester for something else. We routed ourselves back to St. Paul from Lanesboro and we're so glad we did!
We had driven past a few times on our way to Lake Louise, Mystery cave, and had marked it as a place to stop, and I am so GLAD we did! For $5 we got to taste 5 wines, white or red. We both chose the white, and I would have purchased every bottle! Very different flavors, very enjoyable. We chose the "Best seat in the House" I think - right be the windows, so we could look out over the vineyard, without swatting the bugs who also wanted to join our tasting adventure. We had a few snacks while we "wined" the Deviled eggs with Trout were delightful, we almost ordered another plate of them. The Pot Roast Tacos were a fun twist on a standard. Food was a little pricey - but unique, tasty, and well done. a nice treat.
Do yourself a favor and visit Four Daughters Vineyard and Winery. We did the Thursday evening gourmet dinner and tour with the winemaker. The family is passionate about what they do and it shows. The gourmet dinner is always creative, delicious and meeting their chef Eric who describes what you are eating is a treat. You'll be tasting a different wine with every course, and will have an opportunity to purchase your favorite after dinner. They are located in the beautiful bluff country south of Rochester and it is well worth the trip.
Family Girls Weekend. Great wine, great service, amazing food and atmosphere. Short drive from Rochester, MN and completely worth it. Wine tasting service is an amazing way to truly enjoy experience and the food is easily shared to allow a family to try a little bit of everything.
