Welcome to the home of the Minnesota Grape Growers Association
Formed in 1976 to further the art and science of growing grapes in cold climates, the Association sponsors workshops, tours, tastings of locally produced wines and sponsors an important annual conference on cold climate viticulture featuring speakers from the U.S., Canada, and Europe.
Novice, experienced, amateur or professional/commercial from all states and countries are invited to join.
The MGGA heartily supports the concept of wine grower and wine maker continuing education. To that end the MGGA board recommends you visit the Education section and consider the educational opportunities there for your review and consideration.
