The Winery At Sovereign Estate

Our server was exceptional and very friendly, though there was a slight hiccup as we didn’t receive silverware or water until we had finished our appetizer. The food menu was small but thoughtfully curated, featuring intentionally chosen Italian-inspired small bites and entrées at reasonable prices for the portion sizes. The wine selection was lovely, and our server expertly helped us choose drinks that suited our individual tastes. We started with the Zucchini Bruschetta, which was the highlight of the evening. The bread was perfectly toasted, topped with creamy whipped goat cheese and beautifully salted zucchini—simply outstanding! For our main course, we both ordered the specialty pasta: Calabrian Shrimp with spaghetti. It was delicious, with succulent, well-cooked shrimp in a lemony, slightly spicy tomato sauce. To wrap up our meal, we had the chocolate torte served with crème fraîche, which was a delightful finish to a wonderful dining experience with a breathtaking view. I can’t wait to return and try something new!

If you're looking for a place to celebrate, there's plenty of space for 500 guests, complete with a beautiful outdoor restaurant and private cabanas. Maybe you're planning a summer date night—grab a seat in one of the provided Adirondack chairs, wiggle your toes in the grass, and take in the local music while sipping on regional wine. Whatever you're in the mood for, this is a wonderful spot to enjoy the great outdoors. #livingmybucketlist #seetheworld #laptoplifestyle #friends

This is a fantastic family-run establishment with a lovely attitude toward Minnesota wines. The staff is incredibly friendly, and the surroundings are inviting and beautiful. Ben, the winemaker, is both resourceful and knowledgeable, having crafted some truly delicious wines. We are members and absolutely enjoy the events they host!

First time, last time…The food is was ok the wine was ok, the location is spectacular, and the staff were so polite and responsive. Especially, Julie. She was amazing! Our friends who are locals thought they had found their spot. As a party of 10 with kids the venue is great for the vast green space. However, the owner is either an entitled elitist or at least presents herself that way, with no manners. The staff said they were closing soon, but never came back to say it was time to go when the owner arrived in a golf cart to tell us they are closed, and implied we were rude for staying 15 mins over because the last staff member must stay until we leave. Then went on to remind us this was private property and it’s also private time because we were disrupting her dogs birthday that was tonight. You can’t make this up! Needless to say there is a reason the sons run the business because this lack of customer service by ownership could have been handled many different ways. We have been blessed to have the opportunity live around the world and visit many places along the way, yet have never received such an unwelcoming departure.Update: This is the kind of terse response from management I would expect. Again to be clear the staff were great, however you have no idea what was communicated when we arrived or during our visit. And policies are just words in a document somewhere or on a board posted obscurely inside. It’s about communication. Talking to customers with respect and politeness would be a good start. We didn’t argue, we were not unruly, and we simply left at the request, but the terse encounter showed no appreciation for our patronage. Again, your sarcastic emphasis on “manners” highlights the childish nature of your response. But hey, you win! We’ll never be back anyways….

The staff, food, wine and ambience of this beautiful winery are unmatched. I worked with Rachel to create a surprise party for my wife's birthday. She helped with the details and set us up for a cabana. The space was very nice with tables, comfy furniture and shelter from the elements. All-in-all a great experience and my wife was so surprised with all her friends and family there to celebrate in such a quiet and comfortable place. Great work!
