The most beautiful venue with the kindest owners

Next Chapter Winery was the perfect venue for our wedding day. From the moment we first reached out, the staff was incredibly clear, kind, and relaxed in their communication, putting us at ease throughout the planning process. On the day of, they demonstrated their attention to detail and commitment to making our day special, providing excellent bar service and helping with seamless coordination. The natural, open, and romantic atmosphere of the vineyard was truly magical, and we felt that the team really cared about the little details that made our celebration so memorable. We are so grateful to Next Chapter Winery for helping to make our wedding day everything we dreamed it would be.
Excellent venue!

NCW is a beautiful location. We were comforted knowing that our outdoor ceremony would have a space to move into if the weather turned (luckily, we had sunshine!). Jackie and Jeff made it so easy to plan the day and the details. The space is so beautiful, we hardly added decoration. Highly recommend NCW!
Amazing venue and service

We had our wedding at Next Chapter Winery, and it was the BEST decision ever! We rented both the pavilion and barrel room with 200 guests June 2022. Jackie and Jeff the managers were fantastic to work with! There was never a line for drinks, they helped our vendors day of with questions, and our requests were flawlessly met! We stopped in on our anniversary this year, and they added new features that go above any beyond other wineries for weddings. We love the new ceremony walkway they added. You can tell they really love and care about their clientele as they continue to evolve the winery. My family and friends continue to talk about our wedding for the scenic and intimate celebration.
The best!

We were married at NCW back in 2017 and our friends and family still talk about how great our wedding and reception were. We toured/spoke with nearly 15 venues from Mankato to the Metro. So many required you to use all of their vendors, had strict rules about what you could and couldn't do, or required a lot of work and decor to create a beautiful space. The other venues made us feel like we'd have a cookie cutter wedding with no option to make it our own. Then we found Next Chapter! It's s a gorgeous venue, the staff are wonderful, and we were able to have the wedding and reception that we wanted.
