Visit, explore, and transform the way you experience wine. From private barrel rooms to panoramic vineyard hikes, every tour delivers power, flavor, and unforgettable moments.
Wine, Warmth, and Safe Havens.
Welcome to the next chapter of this beautiful countryside property (formerly Fountain Hill Winery). Led by Bob and the rest of the team, Solhavn Cellars is undergoing a passionate transformation. We are hard at work introducing thoughtful improvements to the grounds, tending to our old and newly planted grapes, and building a space centered around community and future winery goals.
Tradition, creativity, and Community shape the way we work.
Deep Roots, Cold Climate, Bold Character
Every great wine tells a story of the land it comes from, and our property has long been a place for those looking to retreat into the countryside. Located on the beautiful, rolling acreage that was once Fountain Hill Winery, Solhavn Cellars represents a passionate, intentional next chapter for this beloved estate.
We took over this scenic corner of the world with a clear vision: to honor the property's rich, historic foundations while breathing fresh, vibrant energy into the soil and structures. Solhavn is an evolution—a blending of local Minnesota pride with a timeless, modern warmth.
Built for Connection, Bathed in Tradition
The heartbeat of Solhavn Cellars lies in our five acres of established estate vineyards, draped across gently sloping hills that look out toward the water. Growing wine in Minnesota is a distinct labor of love. Our vines are built on grit and resilience, adapted to withstand our freezing winters and thrive under the intense summer sun.
Here, the unique lakeside geography and rich soil give our cold-climate varietals a distinct sense of place that you can taste in every glass. As we tend to our mature rows and cultivate newly planted grapes, we are investing deeply in the future of the land, practicing careful environmental stewardship to ensure these vineyards flourish for decades to come.
From Fountain Hill to Solhavn: The Next Chapter
Grounded in Scandinavian and Norse tradition, Solhavn translates to "sunny, safe haven." We designed our tasting room and surrounding grounds to be exactly that—a physical expression of light, warmth, and fellowship.
Every design element has been reimagined to offer an earthy, clean, and inviting atmosphere that makes you want to slow down and stay a while. Featuring expansive views of the vineyard, cozy gathering spaces, and sun-drenched outdoor seating, the tasting room is crafted to be your ultimate countryside comfort spot. Whether you are catching the breeze on the patio or relaxing inside, it is a space designed to harbor the sun and bring people together.
