ABOUT SCHRAM VINEYARDS
A winery, brewery, restaurant, and destination experience in Waconia, Minnesota
A One-of-a-Kind Winery Experience in Minnesota
Schram Vineyards is a 32-acre winery, brewery and restaurant in Waconia, MN, where handcrafted wine, craft beer, and elevated dining experiences come together in one destination. Just outside the Twin Cities, our vineyard overlooks Reitz Lake, with 10 acres of cold-hardy grapes grown and harvested on-site.
Guests can enjoy wine tastings, flights, craft cocktails, and food from our kitchen, including wine-pairing dishes and brick-oven pizzas. With live music every weekend, seasonal events, and year-round experiences, Schram Vineyards has become a go-to winery destination in Minnesota.
Built on a Dream (and a Little Bit of Wine)
Schram Vineyards started with a simple idea. When Aaron and Ashley met in 2006, he shared his dream of starting a winery. What began as a conversation quickly became a shared vision.
In 2008, while still working corporate jobs, they found the perfect property in Waconia. With a south-facing hillside and lake views, it was ideal for growing grapes. Over the next five years, they planted thousands of vines, built the winery, and raised their young family along the way.
In 2013, Schram Vineyards opened to the public.
A Vision That Came Full Circle
The winery continued to grow, and so did the vision. In 2014, Schram Vineyards became the first singly owned and operated winery and brewery in Minnesota.
As demand increased, the brewery expanded into its own space with the opening of Schram Haus in Chaska in 2019. The Schram team also launched AxeBridge Wine Co. in Minneapolis, bringing Minnesota wine to a new audience before ultimately bringing that brand back home to Waconia as part of their continued expansion.
Today, Schram Vineyards has evolved into a fully integrated experience, with multiple offerings all centered at the main vineyard location.

A Place to Gather
Schram Vineyards is designed to be a place people gather. Whether you're visiting for a wine tasting, enjoying dinner at Bonfire & Barrel, listening to live music, or celebrating with friends, every visit is about creating memorable experiences.
From casual afternoons to special occasions, there are countless ways to enjoy the vineyard, including joining the wine club or stopping into the bottle shop and gift store to take a piece of Schram home.
