My husband and I visited after a recommendation from Twin Ciries Wine Education. I really wanted to like this place. The grounds are pretty and offer nice views and an opportunity to play bocceball with friends. It was busy following our arrival at 3pm-ish on a Sunday afternoon. We opted for a wine tasting which included 6 one-ounce pours. At $12 for a tasting, this is higher than most Minnesota wineries. You do get to keep the glass which is nice. The staff seemed a bit stressed, which I understand. They were short with their interactions and seem annoyed when asked questions about the wine (i.e. the grapes used and if the wine is stored in steel tanks or barrels). As mentioned in another review, pour sizes in the tasting were inconsistent. We also ordered a pizza. Unfortunately, half the pizza was severely burnt. We were not offered plates.

This winery is the newest edition to the trifecta of wineries in the West metro area that have coined the phrase "Waconia Wine Country". The Schrams have done an exceeding good job of offering guests plenty of outdoor space on terraced patios overlooking the vineyard and Rietz Lake. They have a nice assortment of Minnesota wines and are trying their hand at brewing. I would definitely recommend them as a part of the three winery tour that would include Parley Lake and also Sovereign Estate Winery, where you are likely to take in some live music and pizza. All are within a 5 mile radius of each other and each has its own unique charm. Only about 25 miles from the city, it makes for the perfect day trip. This should give Minnesotans who are yearning for the Napa experience a good fix. There s a thriving wine industry right here!

A great outdoor-centric venue to have some Reds, Whites, and Brews as their motto says! Nice roomy tasting area, an outside bar, and a really nice outdoor seating area with a great bocci ball pit for some friendly competition. I have not yet had the wines (not sure they are bought by the glass or if it is a tasting fee), but had a good sampling of the beers. Good brews for sure, and I am sure with time they will improve on them. Their German/Austrian styles were solid, their IPAs were above average but not outstanding. One of the few venues in the cities that caters to both wine and beer lovers! They frequently have a food truck so make sure to check the calendar to see what the good eats are!

The wines are pretty good and the décor is lovely. I would give this place five stars, but the HUGE inconsistency in the tasting sizes makes this place hard to patronize. My wife consistently received pours that were two to three times larger than mine. I received a scanty ounce while she got two or more ounces. Not cool when playing ten dollars a tasting (5-6 wines depending on if you try the dessert wine).

Loved the atmosphere here! We came here for an event and had a great time! We were able to play some bocce ball and hammer schlagen while sipping on some great wine and beer. The only thing I thought could have been better was the customer service. We got there 15 minutes before samplers were to be over however they refused to serve us them.. it was disappointing since we were looking forward to it.

First time visit, absolutely loved it. Such a beautiful setting, great staff, great drinks, and the music was awesome. Little disappointed with the food truck to be honest, lots of money for a sandwich with little to no meat and chips. Understand you pay for convenience, but ratio of bread to meat shouldnt be off that much. Overall wonderful experience and will most definitely be back.

You cant go wrong with a Winery and Brewery all in one! They have a new building with a multi-level patio with great scenery and a casual atmosphere. We brought a big group here and there was something for everyone to drink. Would love to go back some night and play bocce ball on their new courts.

Awesome beer and great space! 5/5 on the beer & 5/5 on the space. The parking lot is not ideal, spring thaw in effect and it was mudd with standing water today. Hopefully they get enough biz to pave it, because the place is legit! I will be back, wearing my duck boots

My husband, friends and I LOVE this winery. The bocce ball courts just add to the fun that we always have when we visit Schram. If you havent been to their fall bonfire event, please mark your calendars to attend this year. You wont be disappointed!!

The wine tasting was like being in the Napa, Sonoma, Russian River Valley, and the Willamette Valley. My favorite wine was "Bonfire" but they were all good. The venue is a piece of heaven. A wonderful place to enjoy a day in your life.

Tasty Wine. Friendly Staff. Cozy Atmosphere. Beautiful Views. Curling out back (Winter). Only lost a star bc they have horrible beer (they should stick to wine). Other than that wonderful place :)

Amanda Feltmann

My favorite winery! I love this place! Perfect mix of laid back but not too casual. Great views of the vineyard & lake. Their wines & beer are top notch! Join the wine club ;)
