Bear Creek Winery

Bear Creek Winery makes dry red and white wines from cold-climate grape varieties grown on its property in Fargo, North Dakota. The Ballinger family planted more than 80 cold-hardy varieties on site, and they use both for winemaking and for ongoing grape breeding research. The winery produces roughly 30 tons of grapes a year and works with varieties such as Frontenac, Marquette and Itasca.

The tasting room is open to visitors, and the winery hosts private tastings, private events and dinners with local chefs. Gift cards are available, and wine can be shopped online with shipping. Dogs are generally not allowed except on the monthly Woof Wednesday, while children are welcome with close parental supervision. The winery is located at 8800 25th Street S. in Fargo.
