Forestville Vines

Forestville Vines is a unique destination and wedding venue tucked away in the hilly countryside near River Falls, Wisconsin. This beautiful property combines storied history with sweeping vineyard views. You can live the next chapter of your love story in these rustic surroundings. In 1897, the Forestville School was built, and this iconic structure is a key part of today's 17-acre property. The building has served in many roles over the years since its construction, such as a dog grooming business and a financial office. Brian Lokrantz acquired the Schoolhouse in 2017 and began a loving restoration in preparation for the grand opening of the winery in 2019. These renovations respected the history of the building, preserving both the original limestone foundation and the centuries-old oak tree that now gives shade to the patio. Kate Sullivan and Mark Edlund took charge of the property in 2023, with a vision for enhancing events on the premises while preserving the legacy of the winery. Forestville Vines offers three distinct event spaces in which you can hold your special celebrations. The Schoolhouse is ideal for more intimate occasions, with room for up to 35 guests indoors and additional deck seating up to 40. With surroundings of natural beauty, this spot is wonderful for both a ceremony and a reception. The Event Center provides a flexible and expansive setting for grand events, with space for up to 150 guests indoors. The Center also has a full catering kitchen and a private bar to help service your hosting needs. The Vineyard offers a romantic backdrop for an outdoor ceremony, a refreshing stroll, or a stunning photo session.
