TO OUR VINEYARD & WINERY
NEXT CHAPTER WINERY
In 1983, in the rolling hills of an African vineyard, a couple of dreams began to sprout. First, we became engaged to be married. Second, we planned to one day own a vineyard.

My wife and I got married at Next Chapter Winery in June of 2023. From the first time we stepped foot on the property the week after we got engaged, all the way to our wedding day, Jackie and her team helped ensure that we had the perfect day. They are super flexible with everything: you choose your own caterer, photographer, vendors, etc. Photography can be taken anywhere on-site and the bartenders who were working the night of our wedding were absolutely fantastic! Not only did we feel so special that day, but all of our guests raved about everything as well. My wife had been planning out her dream wedding since she was five years old, and THANK YOU to Jackie, Jeff, and the entire team at NCW for helping make that day a reality!

This place was awesome! The fire places outside make it so cozy and fall like. I got a wine flight and cocktail flight and both were so good. Service was great, such a perfect fall vibe

We hosted our daughters wedding in late September 2023. The day was perfect and the venue was magical. We always dreamed of having our daughters wedding at a winery. We could not have been happier with our choice.Jackie was so helpful in the planning process and returned all our inquires, questions and even calmed the mother of the brides nerves when rain was predicated. The rehearsal dinner hosted by the grooms parents was in the tasting room and was fantastic. Some of us also headed over the day before to sit on the beautiful patio and enjoy the fall weather and some delicious wine and craft cocktails.Jackie and Jeff, thank you for all your help in making this the wedding of our daughters dreams. We will definitely recommend Next Chapter not only for the venue but the great wine!

We truly could not have asked for a better venue for our wedding. Jackie made the planning process so easy and was quick to answer all our questions leading up to big day. She was such a calming and joyful presence leading up to the wedding and on the day of, and Jeff was very helpful and great to work with as well. Everything from the getting ready spaces to the ceremony site to the table set up in the pavilion to the dance floor and the spots for the vendors in the barrel room to the wine and bar service was all spectacular. We had so many people tell us it was their favorite venue and favorite wedding they’ve ever been to, and we couldn’t agree more. Thank you Jackie and Jeff for making our special day perfect!Also we’ve enjoyed just having a glass of wine on the patio at Next Chapter too. The patio and barn are also beautiful, sometimes they have live music and a food truck, and the wine is so delicious. Just such a great vibe all around.

I had my wedding at NCW in June 2023 and could not have imagined a better experience with the venue. Jackie made the planning process practically stress-free and was a joy to have around to help out on the wedding day. Multiple guests told me that we inspired them to have a winery wedding so I think that says a lot about the place! I would recommend this venue to anyone who wants to have a very personalized wedding with lots of support. Thank you so much NCW!!!

NCW is STUNNING venue! We had our wedding there in March and it was absolutely perfect! Jackie and Jeff go above and beyond to make your day everything you dream of! They are so helpful with recommending local vendors for catering, etc. as well! They are a one stop shop!

Great wine and atmosphere. Wonderful people there. Can't believe it, but they keep getting better every year!Every year they donate grape vines to feed the orphaned fawns I rehabilitate to release back into the wild.

Enjoyed the wines at Next Chapter! They have a wine flight deal for 3 - 3oz pours for $13. They had live music and wood fire pizza which were both lovely! I very much enjoyed Hot Mess!

Getting married at Next Chapter was a no brainer for us! Do you love wine? Do you love a very elegant yet rustic feel? Do you love twinkly lights and a good time? GET MARRIED HERE! They have everything you could ever want in a venue and Jackie and Jeff were absolutely wonderful through the whole process making the whole day a breeze! I love all the positive energy and love filled memories we have from this wonderful place. Take it from a DIY Bride!

I really liked it here. It's very cute and there are a lot of options to choose from. They have cocktail flights, wine flights of 2oz and 3 oz pours and vodka flights as well. We had wine passports to use as we had never been here before. The service was great too. I would definitely recommend checking this winery out. I will be back in this summer for sure.

Took my sister here for her birthday. They have a great selection of wines. Not only do they have wine but they also have hard liquor, beer and cider available.They do have some snacks as well to nibble on while you are doing your tastings. They also play host to food trucks during the warmer months. I would definitely recommend a visit here.

We had our wedding at Next Chapter in August and it was perfect. Jackie was so helpful in making sure we had what we needed, recommending great vendors and being so excited for us and this big event for our lives. I wish Jackie was my best friend! Jeff was also really helpful and even bartended for us.I have love Next Chapter wines for many years and their delightful wedding themed names added an extra layer of delight to celebrating at Next Chapter (although the Father of the Bride drank mostly sippin’ solo, his new favorite!).What a beautiful venue, great leadership and a joyful place for any celebration. Thank you!

What a beautiful place to have a wedding! Jackie and Jeff are awesome! They jumped in and helped all throughout the night. They are two of the most caring people my wife and I have ever met. We are so honored to have been married there. Everything went perfect. Jackie helped us plan the whole night and guided us throughout the entire planning of our wedding. The wedding expos she had there were a big help too. We can’t express enough how grateful we are of them. We cannot wait to go back and see them, they’re both so much fun to be around. They truly became our friends by the end.

Next Chapter Winery is a great place for any special occasion, or just a relaxing afternoon at the vineyard! It's a perfect place to bring co workers, employees, family, & friends to hang out and have some great wine.

My husband and I got married at Next Chapter Winery last month and we could not have been happier with how everything turned out! Jackie was absolutely amazing with communication and she even offered completely last minute to play violin during our ceremony. Jackie and Jeff bartended for our wedding all night and did a fabulous job! They went above and beyond to make our day even more special. If you are looking for a venue to get married at we highly recommend the Next Chapter Winery!!

Went to a Wedding here today and the service and scenery and wines were amazing , My only complaint was they had big ruts in the lot for wedding parking and I twisted my ankle (a few others said they almost did as well) and was disappointed that in their emergency kit there was not an ACE bandage for my sprained ankle which I think would have helped it not be so painful now after 8 hours of injury. I was not able to leave to get one as my hubby was in the wedding party. They offered Ice tho in a washcloth for me to help keep it iced.

We had our wedding here and loved it! It’s a perfect blend of rustic charm and simple natural beauty. There weren’t any hidden fees and pretty much everything is included in the venue cost. Jackie was AMAZING. She was extremely helpful and accommodating. She promptly answered our questions and even gave us great suggestions. She also helped me fold my napkins when my setup crew didn’t show up as planned. I’m forever grateful. The venue is dog-friendly and Jackie has two adorable dogs that would, if you are willing, partake as guests. Although, the venue has everything that you would potentially need, there are some quirks to keep in mind. We were told that we could get any alcohol as long as Jackie was made aware. Turns out, it wasn’t the case and we did have to make some slight adjustments. Also, the bar service does not include free water. They only provide bottled water for a fee, but Jackie was upfront regarding this. Even if you don’t have your wedding here, the winery is worth visiting. They have a quaint tasting room, a gorgeous patio, and the wine slushies are delicious!

We just had our wedding here this past weekend, and we had the BEST experience we could have ever imagined. Jackie, her husband, and staff went about and beyond to make sure all of our needs were met. There were a few guests who unfortunately were disrespectful, and it left both my husband and I very disappointed. However, Jackie and her husband made sure to put us about any other situation. They were professional, kind, and just wanted to make sure our day was perfect. I can not recommend them enough!!!! They truly care about people, and I am so glad we chose to get married here.

I cannot say enough about how amazing NCW is to work with for events. We have visited their location for drinks and we have always received great service. We recently hosted our wedding celebration there and it was perfect! The team was so kind and helpful on our big day. Jackie was so helpful and sweet during our planning and preparation. They made sure everything was taken care of and that we had what we needed for our celebration. The communication was quick and every question was addressed. I highly recommend NCW!

We had our wedding at Next Chapter Winery, and it was the BEST decision ever! We rented both the pavilion and barrel room with 200 guests. Jackie and Jeff the managers were fantastic to work with! There was never a line for drinks, they helped our vendors, requests were flawlessly met and they are extremely kind! Not only is it a great venue their wine is AWESOME! A great place full of events like bingo nights during the week and food trucks for a night out with friends and family. I feel this review is so full of positive content, but it is all genuinely true! We just adore this winery! Please make it a stop if you're in the area or in Minnesota in general!

Next Chapter Winery is an AMAZING venue!! Jackie, Jeff and the rest of the NCW team did a great job of making sure that my husband and I felt comfortable and happy prior to, during and after our wedding day. I cannot say enough good things about Jackie, her professionalism and her obvious care of each couple. As my husband would say "You can tell that she loves love!" We received so many complements from guests about the venue and how absolutely beautiful it is. Thank you, Jackie, for helping make this an unforgettable day!
