This was such a relaxing, easy, Tasty, winery. What a treat! My niece wanted to have myself & my friend to this special place. Wine & kittens! And exotic chickens! The wine was GOOD. We went for the tasting & it was a great experience. Loved the site. They have special events there. Music & food. Unfortunately we did not get to do that. Check their website.
Thanks for the review, you guys were so much fun ! Don.
You were a fun group to visit with and hope you will come to see us again real soon!
Very nice place to be! The wines are excellent and the owners are so friendly. Stay for awhile and enjoy the whole experience.
We were visiting Sioux Falls from the SF bay area for a friend's wedding, staying near the airport. Could not believe when I checked my phone to see what was around and a winery popped up! This was definitely not the Napa experience, but this place had a cool vibe of its own! They specialize in making wines out of unconventional fruits (such as strawberries, boysenberries, pears, etc). If you are a wine snob or only prefer dry varieties, the wine here is not for you! We tried a few interesting varietals - most were quite tasty, but almost all were sweet (think Manischewitz). Was a nice surprise to be able to visit a winery in the middle of South Dakota!
It was beautiful fall day! Thank you for your kind words, it was our pleasure to help make this day memorable.
Each year we look forward to spending time at Strawbale Winery, listening to great music, sipping excellent wines, and enjoying conversation with old friends and new acquaintances! Don & Susie and their staff always make us feel at home! Don't miss a Thursday night Summer Porch Series if you like good music in a relaxing outdoor setting, or stop by for Sunday Sangria and enjoy a picnic lunch on the lawn. It's fun for all ages!I recommend the Prairie Storm wine, but do a tasting and find your favorite!
Thanks for the kind words. We're glad you had a good experience. Happy anniversary, hope to see you again soon.
Some friends called and invited us to accompany them to 'Sangria Sunday' at Strawbale Winery. What a treat! This is a great setting ... it's enthralling for all ages -- there is something for everyone to enjoy .. the entertainment was extremely good -- we enjoyed the music, the setting and the Sangria .. GO!!!
We went to Strawbale Winery on a cool and windy Saturday while spending a weekend in Sioux Falls.I did a wine tasting, and liked all the wines, so I did a second...5 wines each. I really did like all their wines, which doesn't usually happen. A lot of them are very fruity, but they'd be great on a sunny Summer day.(which I'm HOPING we will eventually get)I appreciated that they also had beer as my husband doesn't drink wine.Strawbale is a very friendly, comfortable place - well worth the short drive from Sioux Falls!I loved the black slate bar top that they rescued from an old high school. You just write the names of the wines you want to try in chalk on the bar top like you would any chalkboard. oh yeah, and I left with a CASE of wine. :-)
