Leatherwood Vinegary

Leatherwood Vinegary is the finest little vinegary in Minnesota. In fact, it is the only licensed wine vinegary in the state. The Leatherwood Orchards, Leatherwood Herb Gardens, and Leatherwood Vinegary (okay, it's all one place on 40 acres of beautiful Minnesota soil, just north of the Long Prairie River) work together to produce fine wine vinegars. Ron and Nancy are the vintner / vinegarist and herbalist, respectively, with many years of experience in growing fruit and herbs and making them into 30+ flavors of wines and vinegars.

The vinegary is a charming place with faux rock walls, urn filled niches, and the permeating essence of wine and vinegar. Since it is also a licensed facility, it has the requisite stainless steel sinks, tables and other equipment. Making wine vinegar is an art as well as a science with tasting and testing having equal importance in producing a quality product. It takes time to nurture the trees and vines. Wine ferments over a period of several weeks to several months. Conversion to wine vinegar is a slow natural process of several months to many years. We don't rush it. When it's ready we bottle it. From the fruit to you!
