Read more about Megan, here. But when we needed a break from sampling stouts, a local recommended this charming winery and we were blown away.
Located 15 miles outside of New Ulm, Morgan Creek Vineyards is a bit off the beaten path but is well worth the trek.
We opted to sip our wine flight al fresco under the vines and were charmed by how tranquil and private the vineyard felt. Of our flight, the semi-dry Redtail Ridge was a fast favorite. Along with a sensational selection of wines, Morgan Creek Vineyards also offers a fairly large cafe menu to offset any sampling. A giant wood-burning oven greets visitors open arrival and as we watched, the most beautiful pizzettes and hand pies you can imagine emerged. We opted for a warm knot of bread stuffed with brie and rosemary and quickly contemplated ordering two more.
