Our Wine Selection
Great wine comes from well-maintained and cared-for grapes, which is why we focus on the careful tending of our vineyard. Located in the heart of central Minnesota, Jomas Hill is home to 4 acres of Minnesota cold-hardy Marquette and Itasca vines along with Petite Pearl. Our wine is produced in limited quantities using traditional wine making practices. The wines are different from year to year depending on environmental factors. Our wines have a collective profile of qualities that the growing environment at Jomas Hill imparts on the grapes that become the wine you will enjoy. We invite you to join us in re-connecting with the land that provides for us and enjoy some of the best Minnesota wine produced in central Minnesota.
Come and enjoy the amazing views of our vineyard at sunset from the comfort of our tasting room or find your place amongst the grape vines.
Our bottled wine is available for purchase at our vineyard in Darwin, MN.
If you use a credit card, we will charge an additional 2.9% to help offset processing costs.
This amount is not more than what we pay in fees. Sales tax also applies.
Reds
Sangria
Glass 11.5
Jomas Hill red wine mixed with sweet fruit juices – delicious, smooth and refreshing!
Voyager’s Red Blend 2022
Glass 8.5 | Bottle 28
In winemaking, balance is everything. Our Voyager’s Red Blend is named in honor of our granddaughter, Anna, and her ability to achieve balance in the day-to-day. In daring to be a little different, we combined the uniqueness of our Marquette with Petite Syrah: the depth of flavor of Petite Syrah with a spiciness and aroma of our Marquette for a beautifully balanced red blend. Cheers for forging a new path, all while maintaining balance!
Marquette Reserve 2022
Glass 9 | Bottle 32
Jomas Hill’s Marquette grape clusters came off the vine and straight into whole cluster processing to make our 2022 Marquette Reserve. For the next 11 months, the wine resided in new French/Minnesota oak barrels, which added flavors of vanilla and aromas of smoke. The new barrels also add a little more tannin while the Marquette adds cherry and a hint of spice.
Petite Pearl 2021
Glass 8.50 | Bottle 27
2021 was an excellent growing season: dry and warm weather meant the grapes could fully mature on the vine. Due to the high quality of the grapes, we chose whole cluster fermentation which allowed the wine to stay with the grape skins for an extended time, providing for a rich color and flavor. The pairing of fruit forward aromas followed by tastes of blackberry and cherry will leave you wanting more. A nice long finish awaits at the end of the glass.
Cabernet Sauvignon 2023
Glass 9 | Bottle 30
Handcrafted at Jomas Hill, our Cabernet Sauvignon is ruby-rich in color. Paired with a complex earthy array of red fruit, spice, oak, and a touch of caramel, our Cabernet offers a robust taste with tannin present, yet is well-balanced with a round and smooth finish.
Marquette 2022
Glass 8 | Bottle 25
Our 2022 Marquette was 100% whole cluster processed, adding to its complex taste of cherry and spice. The whole cluster process allows the young wine to stay with the grape skins for an extended time, providing for rich color and flavor. The additional tannin enriches the mouthfeel and gives a nice balance of taste and finish.
Trio 2023
Glass 8.50 | Bottle 28
Jomas Hill’s Trio is made up of three grapes. Marquette brings an oak and dark cherry flavor. Petite Pearl offers depth, and the Cabernet Sauvignon brings balance between the two.
Petite Pearl Reserve 2021
Glass 9.5 | Bottle 35
2021 was an excellent growing season: dry and warm weather meant the grapes could fully mature on the vine. Due to the high quality of the grapes, we chose whole cluster fermentation which allowed the wine to stay with the grape skins for an extended time, providing for a rich color and flavor. The reserve was barreled in a new French Oak barrel for 10 months, which adds to the complexity of the wine.
Vinnie’s Red 2021
Glass 8.5 | Bottle 29
Jomas Hills Vinnie’s Red is a pairing of Marquette and Petite Pearl. Vinnie was our beloved Golden Retriever at the time we planted the Marquette vines. He roamed the vineyard chasing away deer and kept us company during vineyard work. Our Marquette and Petite Pearl vines grow side-by-side at Jomas Hill, so it only seems fitting that we name our blend of companion wines after Vinnie. Expect aromas of red and black fruit with balanced mouthfeel creating a long finish.
Whites
Itasca 2024
Glass 8.25 | Bottle 26
Great wine from well-maintained and cared-for grapes, which is why we focus on the careful tending of our vineyard. They are the star of the show around here, so it only makes sense to make them accessible for our guests. Jomas Hill is home to over 800 Itasca vines, and they produce a light, semi-dry white wine with a smooth finish.
Rosé 2022
Glass 5 | Bottle 20
Our 2022 Rosé is one-of-kind! We used a portion of our Marquette crop, which were picked, destemmed, crushed and pressed all in one day. Take note of its light red color and similar, yet lighter, aroma and taste to our traditional Marquette.
Chardonnay 2022
Glass 8 | Bottle 25
Jomas Hill’s handcrafted Chardonnay spent a brief time in barrels to capture a hint of oak. This allowed the grapes to reveal its true aroma and tastes. With a touch of dryness, notice the mild approach and smooth finish.
Louise Swenson 2024
Glass 8.50 | Bottle 28
Elmer Swenson was an American pioneering grape breeder who maintained an impressive vineyard in Wisconsin; the land which was inherited from his Swedish immigrant grandfather. Of the many cultivars he developed, we grew quite fond of this particular variety, which is named after his loving wife, Louise. We found this light white wine to have subtle aroma with a smooth and well-balanced approach.
Solena 2023
Glass 8.50 | Bottle 28
A blend of four white wines. Our Solena will delight the senses. Comprised of Jomas Itasca, Louise Swenson, Viognier and Grüner Veltliner, Solena is a crisp and refreshing white wine, perfect for enjoying at your favorite summer outing, happy hour or celebrating a sunset.
Grüner Veltliner 2023
Glass 8 | Bottle 25
Produced on-site at Jomas Hill, our light and crisp Grüner Veltliner offers notes of pear, apple, citrus, and floral tones. This refreshing yet bright semi-dry white wine is the perfect pairing with seafood, poultry, and pasta dishes. It has a nice balance with a lingering smooth finish.
