In 2014, our family was looking for a new place in the country to call home. Our realtor put a plug in our ear about this beautiful piece of land that was about to go on the market—and it just happened to be a running winery! We decided to come and take a look…and rest is history! We fell in love with the rolling prairie and water around our place; it was (and still is) our rustic oasis! And, of course, grapevines and functioning winery was icing on the cake! We are never afraid to shy away from a new adventure so we jumped in and Painted Prairie Vineyard has been running since!

Both of us were born and raised in Southwest Minnesota and value of the importance of supporting local business. We have grapevines on site, but we purchase local grapes and apples (within an hour of our place) to make our wines. We also have décor from local businesses and showcase foods from local vendors as well.

When you visit our winery, you’ll meet us (Andy and Krista) and our lovely little family of three vivacious girls- Annika, Elysa, and Britta. You may also meet our Vineyard cats- Oreo and Marshmellow, along with our Vineyard dog, Goldie. We are thrilled to show you our little slice of heaven and share our taste of the prairie!
