About

Cannon River Winery is a wedding venue located in Cannon Falls, Minnesota.

Two Stunning Venues, One Unforgettable Experience. Fall in love all over again.

Nestled in the heart of Minnesota’s Sogn Valley, you’ll say, “I do,” in a rustic 150-year-old timber frame barn overlooking lush vines and rolling hills. The valley’s most enviable view, our vineyard provides the perfect backdrop to one of the most important days of your life – your wedding.

The Winery is on the Register of Historic Places and has been in Cannon Falls since the 1920s. Cannon River Winery’s Event Center is located above the Tasting Room, on the second floor of the Winery. This upstairs space was the town dance hall and boasts original hard wood floors, exposed wood ceilings, and simple drop lights, that create a country chic style. As an extra touch, our custom built-in Mahogany bar edged with historic volkstead mirror glass.

The best venue

Wow. We loved Cannon Robert Winery for our wedding. It was the most beautiful venue. I LOVED having the ceremony in the vineyard outside and then being able to do the reception at the winery with climate control. We received and continue to receive compliments about our amazing venue. Super affordable for everything they offer, a fraction of the cost of venues in the twin cities yet only minutes from the cities. We chose the reserve package, best decision we could have made. They included shuttles, putting up the decorations, tearing down, and overall coordination of vendors. They were so responsive and flexible in making last minute changes. The day truly went off without a hitch, thanks to the amazing event manager. If we had to do it all over again, we’d choose CRW again.

Cannot say enough good things about this wedding venue. The space was beautiful! The antique pieces for displaying photos and desserts, beautiful bar set up, and simple yet elegant tables/chairs spoke for themselves and made the need for extra decor minimal.
The staff was SO accommodating. Anne/Marcie answered my emails same day, and offered meetings to make us feel comfortable and prepared for the wedding. HIGHLY recommend day of coordinating, set up and take down. Worth the extra!
While most brides utilize the outdoor vineyard space for their wedding ceremony, we opted for a church wedding, but the staff was ready and excited to let us still use the vineyard space for photos.
We had a blast and our guests had a blast! I would easily choose Cannon River Winery again!

Look no further for your venue. The outdoor setting up on a hill looking down into the valley is gorgeous. It has the barn roof for shelter but still the beauty of the outdoors as a backdrop. Your aisle to walk down is formed by grapevines in the vineyard. The event center for the reception has a perfect mix of rustic and modern in the heart of a cute little downtown area in Cannon Falls.

Mary, the coordinator is tremendous and she will bend over backwards to make your day perfect. She knows her stuff, is very experienced in the industry, and is on the ball. Our DJ ended up in the hospital the day of our wedding and she went to work to find us a new one the day of the wedding! Everything went smoothly and our guests were none the wiser of the change.

If you are a looking for a beautiful, unique, outdoor venue but want it for a fraction of the cost of the venues in the twin cities, drive just 30 min south of the suburbs to Cannon Falls and have a beautiful picturesque wedding at Cannon River Winery!

We had our wedding reception at Cannon River Winery and it was great. The staff are awesome and very helpful. We worked with both Mary and Anne and both were great as we planned our wedding. The space is beautiful and we had so many guests comment on how much they loved the location. We are so glad that we had our reception here.

We had both our son and our daughter's wedding receptions at the Cannon Rivery Winery Event Center in 2015. This is an absolutely exceptional place to celebrate with friends and family. John and Maureen Maloney are truly committed to excellence in providing a 5 Star venue! Our children worked with Mary who accommodated them in every way possible and delivered on what she promised and our event was stress free! I recommend the Cannon River Winery Event Center, you will not be disappointed. We are thrilled to have this venue in our community.

Amazing Venue

Kat, Abby, and the entire crew at Cannon River Winery were absolutely amazing. From the first initial tour, through the planning process, and especially the day of, everything was flawless. We can’t say enough wonderful things about these people and this space. It was worth every penny. We wish we could do it again!

Our wedding was at Cannon River Winery in September. The venue is phenomenal, plus it's so convenient to have the ceremony and reception locations so close. The ceremony sight is absolutely picturesque with the barn looking out over the vines into the valley. Not only are the views incredible, but there is also a consistent, pleasant breeze which makes it an enjoyable temperature on even the hottest of days. Plus, the natural beauty of the setting requires minimal added decor. Amanda, the ceremony site lead was excellent to work with. She is very professional and knowledgable of what's necessary for a successful event in the space. Our officiant even noted how impressed she was with the organization of our rehearsal and how smoothly everything moved along. The staff makes the logistics of getting in between the vineyard and event center a breeze with pre-arranged transportation, too. The reception venue is also stunning with its mix of rustic, modern industrial elements. Anne, the main coordinator, was also wonderful to work with ensuring all details leading up to and on the day of were executed flawlessly. All of the winery staff and bartenders were so helpful and professional, too. We received so many nice compliments on our venue as well, with a few guests saying it was one of the classiest, most well organized weddings they'd ever been to. We had so much fun, I thought we may have to start kicking people out because so many guests were still there at last call! I highly recommend the venue for its beautiful settings, wonderful MN wines and phenomenal event staff. Thanks again Amanda and Anne!

My daughter was married at the winery in October. We rented the vineyard and event center for the ceremony and reception and it was worth every penny. The communication throughout the planning process was great. Anne was quick to respond and offer helpful suggestions. The day went off without a hitch and we even had a few extra guests that came to the reception who previously rsvp'd no- yes, this can happen. Anne and staff made sure they felt welcome and even got out an additional table with place settings immediately. This was a really big deal to me because the room was already pretty full, but they went right to work on making sure we were accommodated. The food, decorations and all other details were great. As a mother, you worry about everything and this was our first daughter getting married. One other thing, we received raved reviews from our guests and the gals downstairs really were good to my guests. Everyone felt welcome. Thank you for making my daughter's day so special.
