Richwood Winery

Open: Seasonally

Richwood Winery is the hidden star of the North Star State. Located on 9 acres of pristine land overlooking Lake Buffalo and just 10 miles North of Detroit Lakes, it is a destination for anyone and everyone. Whether you are an oenophiliac (wine-lover), vacationer, family looking to enjoy the scenery or just someone who could use a day to relax and unwind - welcome, you're home.    

Richwood began in 2007 as a location like no other. Convinced that the grape varietals created by the University of Minnesota could not only survive the conditions of northern MN but thrive to create a great wine, co-owner and founder Penny Aguirre purchased the location to put her notion to the test. Her vision for Richwood extended far beyond just the grapes. As she fondly remembers "We wanted to make a community gathering place where people in the area can meet each other and become friends." In 2010 Penny welcomed Vicky Johnson as a co-owner and today the winery and grounds of Richwood are that vision personified: a place where family, wine and science play happily all day every day.
