I meant to vote for the 12th around Pepin!!!!! The colors will be peaking and the views will be fantastic!!! I think we should then also stop at 2 wineries that day... Maidenrock Apples, Vino in the Valley and or Alexis Bailey!
I Think Lanesboro on the 19th or 26th would be a great poss. last run for the season...man, that is a bummer...........maybe the weather will hold for a November Taylors run........

[stlskyline]

Count me in. I like the idea of a run on the 12th and then one on the 26th.

Sorry Kimmie, Cheri & Pat were at a brithday party last nite and didnt get home until 2:30 AM. Hope you had fun.
We hopeing to make the Oct 12 run. Gave Chris some winnery information on the solstice forum (seach NSSC). Might be up to a pre run with someone in the NSSC to check out the winnerys before the Oct 12th run to aid in a selection if winnerys are even used in the run. Maybe next week end.

Chris, Cheri found a web site that may aid you in planning,

Minnesota Wine Trail

When you use the map search in there link, Lake City also showes a winery loction.
The three are Hastings Cannon Falls and Redwing, you could taken out Cannon Falls and
try the lake city winery, that way it stays along the Mississippi river. it would be cool to cross ofer to WI side along the Mississippi but with winneries and food stop it might be to long of a

[TDC613]

Looks like a great route. keep us posted with any changes, and we will see you and NSSC group the 12th OCT

Looks great! Awesome map!

How many miles would we add if we took the curvy roads from Zumbrota to Goodhue and Hay Creek to Redwing and then thru Vasa to get to Cannon Falls?

However if we do that route, the cannon valley winery is kinda out of the way, but there is a winery in Redwing we could go to. But I felt with a half hour stop at each location on the current route plus lunch and the mileage itself....with the portion after Zubrota going a little quicker...the total run time would be just about right. Not too long or short.
