Welcome to Thicket Hill Vineyard, where our story unfolds from a shared dream between a father and his son. Meet Jack and John Bernens, the heart and soul behind this flourishing vineyard nestled in the scenic landscape of Dayton, MN.

Thicket Hill's journey began with Jack's deep love for the land and lifelong passion for winemaking, passed down to his ambitious son, John. From a young age, Jack dreamed of owning his vineyard, holding onto this aspiration throughout his life. Guided by his father's wisdom, John patiently nurtured this dream until the opportune moment arrived. Today, Thicket Hill Vineyard is a testament to their shared dedication and love for winemaking.

With unwavering determination, they cleared the thicket and planted the first vines, symbolizing their devotion to this endeavor - Thicket Hill Vineyard was born.

Today, Thicket Hill Vineyard stands tall, offering a haven where wine enthusiasts and seekers of heartfelt experiences come together. Our family-run vineyard embodies the spirit of dedication, tradition, and innovation.
