Think snow. Think warm. Think fireplace at your favorite inn. Now think of enjoying a glass of fine Minnesota wine fireside with your sweetie. Many assume winery visting and tasting is just for summer and fall adventures. The vines are snuggled in under the snow but the wine has been bottled and waiting for you to uncork. There are a few wineries and tasting rooms that are open year ’round. The Northern Vineyards in Stillwater is one favorite and is open seven days a week and a nice stop on your way to your getaway. Also the Cannon River Winery in Cannon Falls keeps winter hours Thursdays through Sundays. The St Croix and Mississippi river valleys are speckled with B & Bs and many offer special winter rates and packages. One inn specializing in Winery Tour Packages throughout the year is Classic Rosewood Inn and Spa.in Hastings. Visit their package page for more information on this all inclusive package that includes dinners and lunches in addition to wine tastings and overnights in a whirlpool-fireplace suite.

Choosing a wine to enjoy at the inn.

Imagine – curling up to a good book next to a fireplace. Enjoy a hearty breakfast (that you don’t have to make or clean up) and then head out on miles of groomed cross country ski trails surrounded by the bluffs of the Root River valley.

Root River Trail

Root River Trail

Lanesboro has a fresh blanket of snow. Only a little more than 2 hours southeast of St. Paul, the Root River State Trail is groomed and ready for use. Welcome in the New Year with us at the Hillcrest Hide-Away B&B . That home made bread mentioned earlier is delivered to your door when you get up along with coffee, or other hot beverages.

Lanesboro’s Old Village Hall restaurant  offers special menus for every weekend in January.  Visit their web site for more details.

Complete your visite with a horse drawn sleigh ride through our beautiful valley. Heavy lap blankets will keep you cozy as you listen to sleigh bells jingling. Glide through the fields and into the woods. The horses know the way back to town where a steaming cup of hot cocoa or cider awaits you! Check our web site for reduced winter rates and special winter packages.

You can check trail conditions online before your visit.  Experience Lanesboro – the art of living well.
