From an African Vineyard to a Minnesota Winery
In 1983, in the rolling hills of an African vineyard, a couple of dreams began to sprout. Owners Timothy and Therese Tulloch became engaged to be married and immediately planned to one day own a vineyard. Between then and when the cold-hardy grapes became available, Timothy owned and operated European Roasterie while Therese owned and operated The Next Chapter Bookstore. In 2007, their dreams of a Minnesota vineyard came true when Timothy, Therese, and their four children helped plant and nurture 6 acres of vines. Starting her own next chapter, daughter Jackie opened the tasting room in 2014, began hosting weddings at the winery in 2015, and continues to grow the family business with husband Jeff. Their dream? To savor the moment. To savor family, love, and of course, delicious wine.
Karibu Shamba, welcome to our vineyard and winery.

Perfect place for a ladies night out and a date night. Plus they also have fun events you can join in on too. Jackie is always so kind and goes out of her way to make you feel welcome. One of our favorite places to go to.

Absolutely wonderful spot for everything from weddings and events, to a simple girls night. I have the pleasure of experiencing the winery both as a wedding photographer and as a frequent guest, and I can't say enough good things. Wonderful people who truly care about their clientele and do things the right way - with their patrons in mind. The wine is delicious, pricing is very reasonable, and the winery is beautiful - especially in the summer. Highly recommend.

We were so lucky to find this fantastic venue to host our Club’s Holiday Party at. From working with the owner to make our plans, to the lovely bar keeps who were so fun, the service was above and beyond anything I’ve worked with before. This group went out of their way to make our event an outstanding night and every person who attended enjoyed themselves. If you are looking for 6 star service at a five star location, Next Chapter Winery is the place to choose!

My husband and I got married at Next Chapter Winery this past September - and if I could give them ten stars I would! Jackie the manager was SO sweet and SO easy to work with. She was more than accommodating for any of our requests, timely responds to emails, and is always welcoming whenever we wanted to drop by! Our day went perfectly - I didn't have a day or coordinator or wedding planner and I feel like Jackie stepped in to help throughout the day to help things flow as well as they did. Our guests loved the ambiance of the winery and barrel room and how it was a larger venue but felt intimate during ceremony, dinner, and reception due to the great set-up. Our pictures turned out amazing with the winery as the backdrop - and the guests loved the wine as well! We look forward to spending many anniversaries and other occasions re-visiting Next Chapter Winery!

My friend got married over the weekend and for the price it cost for the space my expectations were a bit higher. Attention to detail is lacking as well as cleanliness. The tablecloths were very wrinkly, there were old plastic cups under the flooded patio, random stacked benches in the front entrance, the bridal suite was so musty the groom had to run out for air freshner, old dirty dusters behind the door, ladybugs and centipedes all over the floors and ceilings, and the list continues. 3 stars because this place seems like a small family owned business and has so much potential!

Stopped in to check this place out. Overall good wine. We only order a couple of glasses vs. doing a tasting. Order a Zin and Cab both were good. The service was slow but, it too was a holiday weekend. The patio area outside is large but, could use some up keeping. Propane tank in clear view of a fire pit. The sitting area could be so much better if cleaned up.

We had such a great time here! My husband and I had a little weekend getaway, kid free, so what better place to go than to a winery! Not being from the area, we looked a few places up and Next Chapter popped up a couple of times. Staff was very friendly and knowledgeable. They were setting up for a wedding, so we didn’t see the barrel house, but the tasting room was great! Getting to sit outside, they have a nice outdoor area, and looking at the vines while sipping some delicious wine just made our weekend!

I love Next Chapter Winery!!! A friend lives close and told me about them a few years ago. I live in Wisconsin (about an hour and twenty minutes away), but I still visit several times a year. The grounds are lovely. The wine is delicious and smooth. My absolute favorite is the Chardonnay, then perhaps Muscat (made from Muscato grapes but not sweet!), and then Dashing Groom, though I can't say that I've found a wine they make that I don't like! And that being said, their grounds are dog-friendly, and my dogs LOVE to go there. Our local dog club actually has an event there twice a year, and they are wonderful to us! All those that work are friendly and kind. No hint of snobbishness at this winery! I also have sampled many of the food items they offer, and they are also really great! I would suggest a visit. 🙂

We had our wedding reception in August at this beautiful location and we couldn't be happier! Jackie was so helpful answering any questions we had very quickly and made wedding planning very smooth! We visited the winery a few times in the wedding planning process and always felt so welcomed by staff and loved all their wines. This venue is so unique and different for a wedding, allowing you to bring any kind of decorations/center pieces which we loved! The staff did an amazing job and were so friendly and fun. We highly recommend this venue for any special occasion. Thank you to Jackie and Next Chapter Winery staff for making our day so special and providing us with a great time!

We had our wedding here over the weekend and it was absolutely perfect. Jackie was incredible in answering all of our questions and helping us plan! The staff were so helpful with the setup and take down and the bartenders kept our guests happy all night. Most venues we spoke to had crazy restrictions about how to set up or what vendors to use so every wedding turns out the same. The NCW staff genuinely cares about making your wedding day what you want it to be and we feel so lucky to have chosen them. Our friends and family are still raving about the venue!! Thank you for everything!

We had our wedding at Next Chapter Winery over Labor Day weekend and everything was absolutely perfect! We worked with Jackie leading up to our wedding, and we couldn't have asked for a better person to work with! She was very responsive, accommodating and very easy to work with! The day before and day of our wedding, all of the staff working, especially Chuck, really helped pull everything together and made the night magical! I would HIGHLY recommend this gorgeous venue!

Beautiful location, lovely set up for an event like a wedding, and the wine was quite good. A bit on the sweet side, but made using locally grown grapes.

We enjoy having this winery so close to our home in Montgomery. We are proud to bring out of town guests to this little charming winery. We always enjoy a bottle of wine and usually pick up coffee grounds as well - we enjoy the Italian Roast. The owner has been very hospitable to us when there and we were first exposed with a groupon our daughter signed up for.

So long overdue for this review on Next Chapter. Working with Jackie and her Father and on site staff was a fantastic experience and I would argue with anyone that ever indicates otherwise. We worked with her for a year in advance with wedding plans and she was as excited the day that we first met her and Timothy as the day, a year later, of the wedding. It is all sincerity at the Winery and it has never let up. Impressed with all of the thoughts, ideas, related-experience-sharing, Implementation of thoughts for the wedding. Jackie and staff had a solution for every question we had, every corner we turned and any obstacle! No glitches whatsoever. I truly feel that they even controlled the weather in the end!Jackie had an ongoing relationship with Lakeside restaurant, which is in the immediate vicinity, so we had our grooms dinner and wedding reception catered by them, and it made it so much easier to make a success of all food, as it never had a chance to cool off or be short of anything, as the Lakeside staff ran back and forth between The Winery and Lakeside for anything we needed. I would also recommend them.I cannot recommend The Winery and Jackie and her Father highly enough. Timothy was even making coffee the night of the wedding reception, when we ran out. All of them deserve multiple pats on the back and best wishes for a long, successful future. We will do our best to contribute to it!If anyone ever needs reaffirmation about planning a wedding at The Winery, please feel free to get in touch. I will be glad to discuss in detail!Thanks Jackie and staff at The Winery! We appreciate each of you.Anne Becker

A very nice selection of wine to choose from for wine tasting. Liked that you could just pick how many you wanted for $1 each instead of having to do a certain amount. The pizza was also good.

Just a short drive from Northfield, MN. My wife & I used a Groupon for 2 glasses & a bottle of reserve wine with no problem. Was allowed to have two servings of wine in place of getting two glasses to take home.Tasty wines, wonderful setting, friendly staff. Will bring some friends with the next time we visit.

I took my husband here for the unlimited barrel tasting event as a birthday present. We had a wonderful evening and delicious dinner. As it is early in the season, we were 2 of only 7 guests, but that's part of what made it a fun adventure. It made the tour feel very personal. Thieving the wine was so much fun and allowed us to sample 8 different wines! Definitely a great evening and worth the hour drive!
