While Vino in the Valley is not a winery in the traditional sense—consider it more of a delightful wine bar and outdoor restaurant—it offers a curated selection of wine by the glass, featuring local options that reflect the beauty of the region. As noted by patrons like Adam Wilson, this is a wonderful spot for a warm Fall Saturday, perfect for a scenic road trip just an hour’s drive from St. Paul.
The menu showcases an array of delectable dishes that capture the essence of Italian-inspired cuisine. Start your meal with enticing appetizers such as the Dipping Duo or Cheese and Meat Sampler. The Stuffed Mushrooms and Brick Oven Italian Nachos are ideal for sharing—though the nachos, with their signature Wisconsin cheese, might surprise some, as noted by other guests like Ethan Hulbert.
For the main event, indulge in one of their crafted pizzas, such as the Farmer's Market Pizza or the classic Margherita. Each bite promises a burst of flavor and freshness characteristic of the establishment's commitment to quality. According to Jacob Miller, both the food and wine offerings are fantastic, and he praises the exceptional customer service that enhances the overall experience.

Come for the wine, stay for the experience; your palate will thank you.
We had a terrific experience here and the setting and seclusion is beautiful. An excellent way to spend a warm, Fall Saturday. What I didn't realize is they don't produce their own wine so think of it more as a wine bar and outside restaurant. Still they had lots of great choices of wine by the glass. I hope you like pasta and pizza because that is pretty much the menu, but there are many different entrees. I had the spicy shrimp and sausage linguine and it was delicious. My daughter had the pesto pasta with sausage and it was too much pesto for her. The nachos appetizer was ... weird. It is Wisconsin so think lots and lots of cheese. Just about an hours drive from St Paul, this is a nice short road trip destination. I would go again.
Great place to hang out on the weekend. Food and wine are awesome! The owner and staff are amazing!
Love this place! Food & customer service was great. The view is beautiful and a bonus with a scenic wagon ride.
A pretty nice wine place deep in the valley in the middle of nowhere in Wisconsin. They said the seating was all full up top but we could sit at the lower bar or at the bottom, which wasn't an issue at all except that they were still a few hours out from close and had plenty of empty seats up top, and no new reservations or anyone came to ever fill them up until close (we left just a few minutes before closing). So I guess they just didn't want us to sit there? Idk. Lots of games, and even though it's outdoors it can be VERY noisy - lots of parties going on here. Big menu though, and obviously, some of the most gorgeous scenic views you can imagine down here. The vineyard also looked so good. Unfortunately they can't actually grow their own wine here. The soil is too sandy, even for WI/MN specialty grapes. So while they're trying, they just get their label of wine from Minnesota somewhere else instead. Still local enough, so that's okay for me - I would've been pissed if we came down here and all they had was California wine relabeled with a Wisconsin sticker, I can't stand that. So I'm glad they still had local options, local enough. Overall, a really nice place!
This winery is marvelous! The landscape is magnificent! Just sitting there and enjoying the view make you realize that your life is priceless. Food is delicious, plates are huge! I post few dishes that you will able to see how big they are. The restrooms are nice and clean.
Beautiful place! Love the outdoor dining! Cute pavilion with live music, bonfires that you can sit at, a tractor ride for after your meal, you can even play a game of bags while you wait! Wonderful service and good food.
Vino is a treasure. This place never disappoints. The red sauce is spectacular. The white sauce is phenomenal. Highly recommend getting the duo dipper combo. You won’t regret it. Service was great and always has good recommendations on different wines to try.
Delicious portabella ravioli. Pizza was not to our liking. Crust was very, very crunchy and sauce was blah. Had a bottle of Vino wine which was tasty. We sat in covered, outdoor seating. Waitress was fantastic.
