on the land. Operations in the Vineyard began in March of 2002 with
winery operations commencing in August of 2003.

Maple River Winery was registered with the Secretary of State in North Dakota on March 19, 2001. Over 5 years ago!!!! Our focus was to utilize North Dakota fruit in making traditional wines in small batches like our ancestors did. Many people have visited our winery with stories about their parents and how they would make wine. After sampling our chokecherry or rhubarb wine, every now and then we will see a tear in their eye...."This is just like my mother used to make it." is a common statement we experience. Our craftsmanship and respect for our heritage has earned us numerous recognitions throughout the United States.
