Celebrate Among the Vines
Holds ceremonies and receptions

EVENT COORDINATOR
Set among the rolling hills of a working vineyard in Dayton, Minnesota, Thicket Hill Vineyard & Winery offers a wedding experience that feels like a destination without leaving the Twin Cities. The 100-acre property combines vineyards, open countryside, and sweeping views with a beautifully designed modern venue—giving couples the best of wine country and contemporary elegance in one setting.
What truly sets Thicket Hill apart is the experience of having the vineyard woven throughout your wedding day. Begin the morning in an expansive second-floor bridal suite overlooking the vines, while the groom and his party enjoy private groom’s quarters downstairs. Exchange vows outdoors with the vineyard as your backdrop or choose an elegant indoor ceremony, giving you beautiful options in every season.
Inside, the 14,500-square-foot venue features a spacious ballroom for up to 320 guests, a grand staircase, welcoming lobby, full bar, and thoughtfully designed spaces that flow naturally from ceremony to cocktail hour to reception.
As a family-owned vineyard and winery, Thicket Hill offers something few wedding venues can—a celebration surrounded by the vines while guests enjoy wines grown and crafted right here in Minnesota. From vineyard views and memorable photo opportunities to modern amenities and genuine hospitality, Thicket Hill creates a wedding experience that feels distinctly Minnesota and entirely your own.

We had our wedding at Thicket Hill Vineyard in September of 2025, and it truly was the best day of my life! ❤️ From the moment we started planning, the entire team at Thicket Hill ...
was absolutely amazing. They are so kind, helpful, organized, and incredibly detail-oriented. They made sure every little detail was taken care of and somehow made everything feel completely effortless and flawless.
It is so clear how much passion the team at Thicket Hill has for the vineyard and for the events they host. They genuinely care about creating beautiful, meaningful experiences for their couples, and that passion shines through in everything they do. You can tell that they put their heart into every event and truly want each couple to have the best day possible.
On our wedding day, we were able to relax and enjoy every moment because we knew we were in the best hands. The team went above and beyond to make sure everything ran smoothly and that our day was everything we had dreamed of.
We will forever be grateful to Thicket Hill Vineyard for helping make our wedding day so beautiful, seamless, and unforgettable. It was truly a dream come true, and we could not recommend this incredible venue and it’s one of a kind team!
