Discover the best of Minnesota's local flavors on this delightful day trip through the heart of the state! Our journey begins at the award-winning Crow River Winery and Bistro, a charming farm winery nestled near Hutchinson, MN. For over fifteen years, this family-driven gem has embraced its Minnesota roots, lovingly nurturing cold climate vines across 36 stunning acres of vineyards. We will settle in for lunch at the Bistro and enjoy a specially crafted Cranberry Turkey Club-turkey, provolone cheese, and fresh arugula piled high on a toasted ciabatta bun, finished with a house-made Cranberry Wine Aioli crafted with Crow River's very own Cranberry Wine. After lunch, enjoy a guided tour and tasting led by knowledgeable Crow River staff. Then browse their wine selection and take home your favorite bottle — the perfect Minnesota souvenir! Next, the adventure continues as we travel to Carlson's Orchard Bakery and Restaurant in Winsted, MN — a beloved local treasure with over 26 years of pie-making tradition. Browse their fresh-picked apples and treat yourself to an irresistible selection of homemade baked goods. Whether you're a pie enthusiast or simply love supporting local farms and artisans, Carlson's is the perfect sweet ending to a wonderful day. ----------------------------------- Departure / Return from: White Bear District Service Center, 2399 Cedar Ave, White Bear LakeEnter the parking lot off of Cranbrook & Roth, take a right into the lot and park in the back of the building.
