Welcome to the Red Trail Vineyard!
Nestled along the Buffalo Creek on the outskirts of Buffalo, ND our family vineyard takes its name from the rich history of the Old Red Trail, one of the first established trails guiding travelers through North Dakota.
The fertile soils of the Red River Valley and traditional wine making techniques combine to elicit the subtle flavors and aromas of our native hybrid grapes.
Our wines are a perfect compliment to an elegant meal or a casual get together with friends!

2019 Harvest Finished Late This Year
Finished with the 2019 grape harvest October 9th. It can go in the record books as one of the latest in the past 17 years. The production was down this year caused mostly by last winters very cold temperatures. Our Frontenac Gris yielded very good and about the same as last year. The Marquette and Frontenac was about 60% of last year and the King of the North still out yielded everything coming in at 4950 pounds per acre. We lost all the production on the Sabrevois, Prairie Star, and Petite Pearl.
This year all of our production was delivered to Dakota Vines and Winery at Colfax and is now getting happy. We are looking forward to some great wines for 2021.
Thanks to all of our 15 pickers who set a record time for harvest at 5 days which in the past took 10 days. Thank you so much !

"My husband and I attended the grape stomp and harvest festival this last
year, and we had such an amazing time. We have been telling our friends
about it and plan on attending again next harvest season.
I plan on bringing more
people with us next year. I will definitely "friend" you on Facebook! I
will also be going to get me some wine! Yay!"

"Bunny, Linda and Harley would like to thank you for your hospitality this past weekend. We all truly loved the event, all the fine food, wine, tours and or course the grape stomp. Bunny and I are happy we could have Harley to accompany us and that he was able to enjoy it every bit as much as we did.
He stopped by today and is anxious to re-visit next year.
The music and entertainment was totally fantastic.
We are wishing you a great grape season. I am hiding the last bottle for a special occasion. Haven't decided if I will share or not.
Thanks again,"
