About

Forestedge Winery sits on the edge of the Paul Bunyan State Forest in Laporte, Minnesota, making 25 premium wines from fruits rather than grapes. Rhubarb View Farm supplies most of the rhubarb for the house's Rhubarb Wine. The portfolio includes limited editions like Voyageur, a 2025 semi-dry blend of Blackberry, Blueberry and Chokecherry, and Northstar Loon, a 2024 semi-sweet blend of Aronia, Black Currant, and White Cranberry. Recent recognition includes five medals at the 2024 Great American International Wine Competition, including Gold for Split Rock Red and Silver for Kabekona Blush, and six medals at the 2024 Americana Cup, including Gold for Babe's Blue. The winery hosts an annual Art Fair and ships orders within Minnesota only.
