November – May | A NEW Way to taste on the prairie!!

As we head into the quieter months, we’re embracing a new way to welcome you.

Rather than offering traditional weekly tasting room hours, we’re creating more opportunities to gather, celebrate, dine, and enjoy thoughtfully planned experiences.

Pour Your Own Adventure

Come

Select Public Tasting Room Dates

Our tasting room hours will be available on select weekends each month. We still love welcoming our community for a casual glass of wine, good food, and conversation.

Watch our monthly calendar for open tasting room dates.

No reservations are needed unless otherwise noted.

Signature Dining Experiences

Each month, choose from seasonal dining adventures to our special culinary events, and discover something beyond an ordinary night out.

These experiences will be offered on select dates with advance reservations or tickets.

The seasons may change, but there's always something to experience at Painted Prairie!

Private Events, Corporate Gatherings & Weddings

From bridal showers and milestone celebrations to company gatherings and intimate weddings, Painted Prairie offers a beautiful setting for bringing people together.

Our spaces are available for private bookings throughout the year, including dates when the tasting room is not open to the public. See our calendar of available weekends.

Choose your adventure. We'll help make it memorable.

Stay

Seasonal Glamping | May–October

Indulge. Nosh. Sip.

Gather at the table

At our vineyard, food is meant to be shared — just like great stories and exceptional wine. Our menu is thoughtfully crafted with abundant, seasonal plates designed for the center of the table. From artisan cheeses and rustic flatbreads to vibrant garden dishes and savory small bites, each offering invites guests to pass, pour, and savor together.

Inspired by the rhythm of the vines and the flavors of the harvest, our shareable selections pair beautifully with every glass, encouraging connection, conversation, and a little lingering. Because the best moments — like the best wines — are meant to be shared.

Good People, Great Times, Amazing Blends

Back in 2014, Andy and Krista Kopperud were searching for a place to call “home” for them and their young family.  They were drawn to wide open spaces and a down-home community.  Little did they know the vines were calling…

Local.
wine. EVENTS.

🚂 A LITTLE SNEAK PEEK… BUT WE'RE NOT SPILLING ALL THE SECRETS! 🍷

Something delicious is coming down the tracks at Painted Prairie!

Today, we spent time tasting, pairing, tweaking, and discovering some pretty incredible combinations for our upcoming Great Railway Dining Experience on November 21st.

And we're giving you just a little peek behind the scenes. 👀

Inspired by the golden age of railway dining in the late 1890s, this experience will take you on a culinary journey filled with historical recipes, fascinating stories, delicious food, and perfectly paired wines.

But where's the fun in revealing every stop along the way?

Some things are better left to be discovered at the table. 😉

So gather your favorite traveling companion, bring your appetite, and get ready for an evening of food, wine, laughter, and a little adventure.
