A trend across the United States over the past 30 years has been the launch of wineries and small breweries. This trend has reached North Dakota as well, with an ever increasing number of wineries and breweries opening their doors. Indeed, even more wineries and breweries are expected to go into operation in the future as well
Wineries Open for Tours and Tastings
In North Dakota, at the present time, there are a dozen wineries that are open for tours and tastings. Each of these wineries has their own hours of operation when guests can stop in for a visit and taste of their delightful vintages. Thus, even though the doors are open and reservations are not required, you are best served by taking a moment to call ahead and confirm hours of operation. As an aside, there can be some seasonal differences when it comes to tours and tastings at these different wineries as well.
Some of the North Dakota wineries have special events on location as well. For example, there are wineries in the state that provide entertainment on certain days, along with wine tasting.
