About
Report
The Seppanen family has long enjoyed traveling and visiting small family wineries. Those travels have taken us to wineries from Florida to Washington and Maine to California, as well as Germany, France, Italy, Portugal, Hungary, Slovenia, Austria, Poland, Quebec, Australia, and New Zealand. In particular we have visited many Midwest wineries in Minnesota, Wisconsin, Illinois, Iowa, Michigan, and Nebraska.
Wines
Report
Garvin Heights Vineyards produces wine from cold climate grapes that we grow on our five acre vineyard located on the bluff above the city of Winona, Minnesota on the Mississippi River. We also purchase grapes from growers in both Minnesota and Wisconsin located in the Upper Mississippi River Valley American Viticulture Area.
Rosé / Blush Wines
Report
GHV Frontenac Rose is made from the Frontenac grape released by the University of Minnesota in 1996. The grapes were pressed before the skins could color the wine leaving a light pink color but retaining Frontenac's distinctive cherry aroma. We are temporary sold out of this favorite. Enjoy this slightly sweet wine chilled with casual foods such as hamburgers, pizza, or cheeses.
Fruit Wines
Report
We make two fruit wines with 100% fruit juice, two blended fruit/grape wine, and several flavored grape wines. They are all special, so visit the winery to try them all or order online. Our Red Raspberry wine has been an instant favorite with a pleasant berry aroma from its 100% fruit base. Winner of a Silver Medal at the 2010 International Cold Climate Grape Competition.
Blended Wines
Report
Our blends of cold climate grape varieties carry the St. Urho label named for the patron saint of the Finish vineyard industry. Urho is pronounced like "Errrrh-hoe" with a long trill of the R to represent his strength. His feast is celebrated by wearing the colors Royal Purple and Nile Green. St. Urho is nearly always represented with grapes and grasshoppers as part of the picture.
