Wine makers Paul and Sharon Shuster and John Wildmo produce seven to eight thousand gallons of wine per year yet craft their wines in small batches. After fermentation the wines are aged in large Italian stainless steel tanks for a year or more before bottling. The crisp clean taste of rhubarb is the signature wine produced at Forestedge Winery. Forestedge Rhubarb Wine has won many International awards and in 2005 was named best Minnesota Fruit Wine at the Twin Cities Food and Wine Experience. Much of the fruit used at Forestedge Winery is harvested from the winery grounds. Rhubarb plants, which started as part of the family garden, have now become a large part of what is harvested for Forestedge wine. Chokecherries, raspberries, and plums are also grown at the farm. Additional fruits and berries are purchased from local growers when available. The Winery produces nine different single fruit wines as well as blended wines including Summer Blush (strawberry rhubarb), Headwaters Classic Red (chokecherry rhubarb), raspberry rhubarb, and blueberry rhubarb.

All of these wines are available for  tasting and sale in the Winery tasting room

The winery is open May through December, six days a week and closed on Mondays. Tours are available and are designed to allow you to see how these fine wines are crafted, aged and bottled Remember, "It's not just grapes that make fine wine!" As Paul bottles a batch of Forestedge Wines, craftsmanship and pride go into every bottle.

Forestedge Winery also carries a wide range of wine-related items and gifts.
