Country Beauty Near The City
Located in Dayton, MN, just minutes away from downtown Minneapolis, Thicket Hill Vineyard & Winery is an event center and wedding venue. From 2027, the management of these premises invites you to make this spot your own. You can anticipate your dream country wedding, nestled near the confluence of the Crow and Mississippi Rivers, among the beauty of rolling hills.
A Shared Passion at the Roots
The seed of Thicket Hill Vineyard & Winery was planted along with the first few grapevines in 2011. Jack Bernens and his son John were curious about growing grapes and wanted to create something with meaning from a small piece of land. Father and son soon found a shared passion for the unique characteristics of cold-resistant grape varieties, crafting outstanding wine vintages reflective of their northern home. This duo deepened their knowledge of wine-making along with the size of their vineyard. Their latest step is to make this property a destination, offering a scenic locale in which you can celebrate a milestone occasion with your loved ones. You may wed outdoors with green vines and picturesque hills as a backdrop before enjoying an indoor reception in the ballroom. Separate get-ready rooms allow you to relax and prepare for your big day.
The Details
Thicket Hill Vineyard & Winery has 14,000 square feet of indoor event space, including space for up to 320 guests to celebrate in the ballroom. The grand staircase and inviting lobby make for wonderful first impressions, while the full bar gives additional options for festivities. This Minnesota wedding experience awaits you.
