Warehouse Winery

I had a work event here, and there were a total of about 60 people in attendance. We took up the whole main floor for a lecture dinner series, and overall, everything went great! It has a really cool, hip ambiance and is easy to find. It was well lit, warm, spacious, and unique. It is in the middle of nowhere (e.g., warehouse district by a bunch of buildings), but is literally 1 – 2 miles from downtown St. Louis Park. Overall, the set up for the lecture series was great, but the banquet food was just 3 star (hard to cook for 50 – 60 people, in general). That said, loved the bar, local wine choices, and ambiance. Worth checking out just for the cool, funky décor!

We visited the Warehouse Winery for a Bachelorette party. We had 25 women attend the event. The Maid of Honor who hosted the event was promised a tasting of 5 wines along with the catered food. The two men working seem inconvenience to be serving the party and was no where to be found during most of the event. The Maid of Honor even asked one of the men working to explain more about the wine we were drinking. His response, «I don’t really know much about wine. I only drink beer.» After over an hour we had only tasted 2 different wines. When we approached the man serving the party he said that we had finished our bottles. Unfortunately, we had to argue with him that we were told $ 30 a person for 5 wine tastings. After having a conversation with him, he said he would give us a couple more bottles. He set them on the counter and we had to serve ourselves and in dirty glasses. He even confronted us and asked us when we would be done!!!
The Warehouse was beautiful and a perfect venue for an upscale get together but the service Wine/​Catering is overpriced and HORRIBLE! I would not recommend anyone book a party here.

This was a great first wine tasting! The staff member who led the tasting was friendly, fun, and put everyone at ease. He seemed genuinely excited about the winery’s product. The winery itself was situated in a chic warehouse that was decorated with odds and ends from seemingly all ends of the globe, including an authentic elephant skull complete with massive tusks. The staff member shared with us stories of the winery and how the different varieties were discovered, all of which were quite good on an unsophisticated palette such as mine. The only off-​putting part of the experience was the owner who meandered around the winery in clear sight of all his guests without saying a word or smiling or thanking us for coming. We sensed a bit of an air about him. Aside from this, I’d have given a 5-​star rating.

We had our wedding reception at the winery. The Warehouse Winery is a unique, eclectic, and overall amazing space. If you want something different with an artsy edge, this is it. Their wine is also very good and they have a lot of nice varieties. While we loved the space and the wine, the event coordinator, Youa, was very difficult to work with. She was not timely in returning emails, often changed plans and prices from what we had previously discussed, did not seem to understand how to create an itemized statement for billing, continuously messed up our floor plan to the point we ended up having to create it ourselves and email it to her, and the list could go on. There were many times I considered cancelling our event because of our event coordinator. In the end, our reception was lovely, but it was a painful process to get there. While I highly recommend the winery itself, our overall experience having our reception there was very difficult.

Not impressed! I was hosting a bridal shower/​bachelorette party and brought 20 friends here. It was somewhat hidden near Sam’s Club in St. Louis Park, but had easy street parking. When we all got there we were not really greeted, but rather snubbed by what I later learned was owner. He seemed less than thrilled to be hosting us.
We were not a wild and crazy 20 y/​o bachelorette party, in fact we were very mild and tame. We first got a tour of the place and learned a bit about wine making. The building is unique and has lots of quirks. Then we had the smallest tastings of really unpleasant wines. When we weren’t impressed by the taste of the wines, we decided not to buy any bottles, especially after the odd and almost rude treatment of my party. Then before our time was even over, another party came in and they were given the attention. As we started to feel unwelcome, he seemed to hassel us for not making a purchase.
I do not recommend this place. Save your money and leave the city limits to taste some great wine!

I really love this place. Billy, the head winemaker, is a vinting genius, and the facilities are quaint and interesting. I believe the wines are available at various places in the Twin Cities so try a bottle, and if you like what you taste go check out the Winery!

Warehouse Winery is definitely a unique find in the Twin Cities. The place has a ton of character, wine is full of flavor, and the Owner (Billy) is very knowledgeable!
I recommend giving the wine a try or schedule a tour of the facility. You can also find Warehouse Wine at many local restaurants and liquor stores including Byerly’s and Lunds.
