L’etoile Du Nord Farm Winery

We decided to try this weingut as proposed by opentable. the menu is very limited, because the wine has no kitchen. Instead, the winzers have a menu of prepared cheeses from which they can enjoy with their wine. they also have prepacked meat and cheese bowl. we chose 3 types of cheese to combine with our 3 flights wein. the environment is on the lake and they can sit outside to taste their weeping. we had a wonderful time and even saw an osprey dive for fish. very idilic. there is a great choice of crying and they tend to be in the sweeter side. as we live over 2 hours away, we decided to try about 3/4 of the sorts. we bought 6 bottles. we have a lot of fun at the half-dry rose! I can't say enough about the owners. very welcoming and simply a pleasure to have as host. Overall, I would call that more if an experience compared to a restaurant. it is a wonderful experience!

We enjoyed every one of our 4 wine samples on our fleet. What a peaceful, beautiful setting overlooking the lake. We didn’t have any food, but there seemed to be a nice variety of cheeses and nuts, etc. The free oyster crackers worked great for a palette cleanser. Very friendly hosts! Perfect Friday afternoon stop.

Everyone in our group enjoyed the wine tasting here! Beautiful view of the lake, lovely informative hosts, nice indoor and outdoor seating-not to mention their wines were delicious! We couldn’t pick just one or two so we took home several as well as some stemless wine glasses.

This winery is a must see. Small, scenic, and so lovely!! The owners, Polly Dave work hard and are very friendly. We were there at 2pm on a beautiful Friday and we were the only ones there for the hour we stayed. The lemon wine is a must try, as well as the ciders and their Minnesota Grape wines!! Frontenac Gris was our favorite white. We ended up leaving for 9 bottles of wine and we already drank 2! We will certainly be back.

Absolutely lovely set up. Can’t wait to go back for the ambiance alone! The tasting room is clean and spacious. Owners are very friendly. The outdoor patio has lots of seating with an outstanding elevated view of Lake Irene. $10 for a wine tasting of 4 selections is an excellent value. My favorite was the Lake Irene Lemon. They offer 3 wine spritzers which are 50% off if you show your Covid vaccine card! We liked the rose spritzer the best! The outdoor space is leashed dog friendly and they gave our dog her own water bowl. There is room for growth in the quality of the wine. But with 12 to choose from, there is bound to be one you like! (We tasted 8/12) Will definitely return, and bring our friends.
