OUR STORY
Schram Vineyards Winery & Brewery began as the dream of a farm boy who loved making wine. He met an uptown girl with a taste for wine and beer and they put down their roots in the fields of Waconia in 2008. The dream came to fruition when they opened their doors in 2013 as a winery, and soon after, as a brewery as well. Marrying country and city, wine and beer — Schram brings vineyard wine and craft beer drinkers together in Minnesota at last! Read the full story..

FEATURED WINES
Laketown Rosé
Type: 100% Minnesota Blend of Red & White Grapes
With a fruit forward nose of creamy wild berries, this light bodied Minnesota rosé offers a wide array of flavors – from warm caramel to Macintosh apple, wild strawberry and pomegranate that continues to evolve with hints of sour cherry – developed from the Frontenac grapes. With a deeper rose hue, this will be your go-to boat sipper that will play best supporting role in all your favorite lakeside memories and photos.
2016 Sangiovese
Type: MN Single-Varietal Red Wine
This single varietal red opens with notes of plum followed by dusted black cherry. Complexity comes from aging in French oak barrels, leading to subtle smoke notes and a smooth, dry finish.
Semi-Sparkling Rosé
Type: Minnesota Semi-Sparkling Wine
This lightly effervescent rosé has a delightfully fragrant nose of lush strawberries and florals. Not too sweet, nor too dry, bright peach comes through with a kiss of ripe berry in a harmonious balance that leaves you ready for more.
Bonfire
Type: Red Blend
Style: Dry Red Blend
Year: 2016
The tradition continues with our signature big, dry, red blend which features 50% Cabernet and 50% Minnesota Marquette, marrying the best of both worlds. Rich plum and notes of black currant with a bite of black pepper spice on the finish.
FEATURED BEERS
Cream Ale
Style: Cream Ale
Mellow bodied with a subtle creamy corn sweetness and miled malt notes. This cream ale finishes with a dry, brut finish due to the addition of champagne yeast.
ABV 4.2%
Stealth Stout
Style: Foreign Extra Stout
A full bodied beer with strong, roasted and dark chocolate flavors. The Fuggles hops give this beer a subtle spicy and woody flavor. Stealth Stout finishes very smooth and slightly creamy.
ABV 6.6 %
Honey Apple Ale
Style: Fruit Ale
Move over Pumpkin Spice Latte, our Honey Apple Ale is back for another fall harvest season kick-off! One of our most popular rotations, Honey Apple Ale is an easy drinking beer for warm September days with crisp apple flavors and notes of dry honey to transition you into the fall spirit.
ABV 6.1%
First Class IPA
Style: Double IPA
First Class is an IPA that takes it to the next level for the drinker. This classy, double dry hoped, deep golden ale exudes aromas and flavors of grapefruit juice, lime peel, and tangerine zest. The subtle notes of blueberry, fresh herbs, and apricot bring an added component of refinement to this 100+ IBU creation. With an ABV of 8.1%, enjoy but be cautious to not become too frequent of a flyer.
