About
Tucked away on East Lake Street in Minneapolis, Urban Forage Winery and Cider House has earned a reputation as a neighborhood gem, boasting an impressive 4.8-star rating from over 200 visitors. The business stands out for its unique, sustainable approach to production, as the owners craft their wines, meads, and ciders on-site using fruit foraged from around the city. This commitment to local, natural ingredients results in a diverse menu of small-batch libations that are entirely gluten-free, catering to a wide range of palates from dry to sweet. The interior offers a cozy, welcoming atmosphere, characterized by reclaimed doors over the bar, twinkle lights, and a relaxed vibe that feels more like a neighborhood coffee house than a traditional production facility. Whether guests are looking for a quiet spot for a date night, a venue for trivia, or a place to enjoy live music, the space provides a comfortable backdrop. With friendly, knowledgeable service and a rotating selection of unique offerings—such as dandelion wine, maple-oak cider, and various fruit-forward meads—Urban Forage provides a distinct, locally-focused alternative to the larger breweries and cideries found throughout the Twin Cities.
