Javens Family Vineyard & Winery LLC

Javens Family Vineyard & Winery sits in a valley near the Le Sueur River in Mankato, Minnesota. Founded in 2010, the operation has expanded three times to approximately seven acres, remaining family owned and operated since the first vines went in the ground. The tasting room opened in 2016. Everything happens on-site, from vine to bottle. The portfolio includes Brianna, Frontenac Gris, Frontenac Blanc, La Crescent, Marquette, Frontenac, and Petite Pearl. New Traditions blends Brianna and Frontenac Gris into a semi-sweet white. Marquette sees a year in barrel, while Vera's Vino offers the same varietal unoaked. Patio Prints takes its name from the winery's dogs. The tasting room has prepackaged meat and cheese available and welcomes well-behaved dogs on leash.
