Music & Event Schedule
A Good Evening Doesn't Need a Plan
Picture this: the sun is dipping behind the tree line, a local musician is warming up by the stage, and you've just poured yourself a glass of something red and honestly perfect. Your campsite is fifty feet away. You don't have anywhere to be tomorrow. This is what we built this place for.
Our live music nights aren't ticketed gauntlets or VIP-roped-off affairs. Bring a lawn chair. Bring the dog. Bring your neighbor if they're not too annoying. The vineyard is the venue, and the only dress code is "you showed up."
Don't Just Visit for the Day
Stay the Night. Make It a Memory.
The best part of a live music evening at Wild Mountain isn't the last song — it's waking up the next morning still inside the vineyard, coffee in hand, dew on the vines. Book a campsite and turn a great night into a whole weekend.
Winery open year-round. Campground is seasonal — check availability on the booking page.
Outside the Vineyard
You came for the wine, but the St. Croix Valley is pretty fantastic too. Here are a few local spots worth wandering off for.
State Park Lovers, You're in Luck
Beautiful river views, ancient rock formations, and miles of trails surround us. Here are the local parks worth exploring.
Interstate State Park
Straddling the Minnesota–Wisconsin border, this park has deep basalt gorges, river views, and massive glacial potholes. Perfect if you want to climb on some really old rocks or just wander along the river and pretend you know about geology.
St. Croix State Park
Coming in as Minnesota’s largest state park, this place boasts 21 miles of riverfront and nearly 34,000 acres of trees, trails, and wildlife. Translation: there is plenty of room to get lost, found, and thoroughly away from your phone for an afternoon.
Wild River State Park
Snaking right along the St. Croix, this park is huge, quiet, and packed with scenic river views. Whether you want a full day of wilderness trail-blazing or just a peaceful 20-minute stroll, Wild River delivers all the nature with none of the rush.
William O'Brien State Park
Just down the river, this park swaps out steep cliffs for gentle rolling hills, oak savannas, and lush trails. Great for a scenic stroll, a picnic, or taking a nap under a pine tree while pretending you're "connecting with nature."
Our Personal Favorite Spots
The favorite local places we send our friends to when they ask what else they can do around here.
Eric's Canoe & Kayak
Whether you want a peaceful paddle down the St. Croix or an excuse to float lazily in the sun, Eric’s has you covered with canoes, kayaks, and shuttle service. No experience necessary—just hop in and let the river do most of the work.
Almelund Mercantile
A charming blend of antiques, local snacks, and general store nostalgia. Pop in to visit Susie, hunt for unique finds, and grab a treat for the drive back. It’s impossible to leave empty-handed or without a smile.
Wild River Bar and Grill
Just down the road when you need a full meal and a cozy booth. Famous for their monster-sized hearty breakfasts and juicy, top-tier burgers, it’s the ultimate spot to fuel up before a big day—or recover from a fun night.
More Local Highlights & Cool Spots
From river cruises to art in the woods, here’s what’s happening just down the road.
Franconia Sculpture Park
A sprawling 50-acre park packed with wild, larger-than-life sculptures you can walk up to, under, and around. It’s perfect for kids, dog-walkers, or anyone who wants to take cool photos and pretend to deeply understand modern art.
Taylors Falls Scenic Boat Tours
Step aboard an authentic paddlewheel boat and let someone else do the steering for a change. Sit back on the upper deck with a cold drink while the guide points out dramatic rock formations, river history, and eagles soaring over the St. Croix. Zero effort, maximum views.
Folsom House
Step back into 1855 and see how a local lumber baron lived before Wi-Fi and indoor plumbing. It’s a beautifully preserved piece of local history, perfect for a quick, charming stroll through the past—no history test required.
Wild Mountain Ski Hill
Same name, totally separate folks—but an absolute gem right in our backyard. Snowboarding and skiing in the winter, water slides and alpine slides in the summer, it's basically an all-season playground. Perfect for thrill-seekers, families, or anyone who just wants to ride a chairlift for the view.
