About fifteen years ago as we were getting introduced to wine we discovered Steve who owned Parley Lake Vineyards of Waconia. We went out to took our grandkids out to meet Steve, learn about grapes and wine and pick some apples.  E did not call in advance. Turns out all apples and grapes were picked for the year and the only one there was the grounds crew mowing lawn. Well, that is not how we planned the day.

Steve is always a fun guy: Smart and making the best wines in the Midwest.

We take highway 7 west of the metro to Parley on the way we drive past Princes house. We also drive past the University of MN Arboretum where the Honeycrisp Apple and many varieties of local Minnesota Cold weather Grapes were cross bred and invented. We noticed within a mile of the Arboretum was a Pick your own apple and pumpkin patch called The Applehouse.
