Things to Do

Hiking

Sugar Loaf Bluff

825 E Lake Blvd, Winona, MN 55987, USA

Hike up to see a beautiful view of Winona! The trail is (by Katherine's standards) medium difficulty. Park on the road by Edina Realty and start at the trail head off of their parking lot!

Garvin Heights City Park

200 Garvin Heights Rd, Winona, MN 55987, USA
(507) 457-8258

This is more of a scenic drive up to a view. You do have to park and walk out to the look out. This spot is notorious for wasps, but as long as you're paying attention you should be fine! There are hiking trails off of the lookout.

Lake Park

Winona, MN 55987, USA
(507) 457-8258

Winona Lake is split into two parts, the big and the small lake with paved walking paths around each. Very easy, flat walk! The big lake has a big playground for the kids too!

Food

Blooming Grounds Coffee House

50 E 3rd St, Winona, MN 55987, USA
(507) 474-6551

Our favorite coffee shop in Winona is Blooming Grounds. Katherine's favorite drink is their iced chai or something off their seasonal menu. It is amazing! We highly recommend their bakery items and paninis. Katherine's usual order is half an Italian panini with a salad and Cam's is the Super Duper panini.

Bloedow Bakery

451 E Broadway St, Winona, MN 55987, USA
(507) 452-3682

Bloedow's is a Winona staple. It has the best bakery (especially donuts and glazed croissants) in town. Seriously, they are amazing. They often sell out, and are closed on Sundays, but if you have the chance, stop in.

Mango's Mexican & American Grill

408 US-14, Winona, MN 55987, USA
(507) 454-4484

There are 2 Mexican places in town, Mangos and El Patron, and if you live in Winona you are loyal to one or the other. We can't speak to what is more authentic, but we are a Mangos family! Cam likes their chips and salsa and Katherine likes their margaritas. It works out.

Sliced Winona

66 Center St, Winona, MN 55987, USA
(507) 474-6333

Lots of fun different pizzas and drinks to try. Cam's favorite is their wings and Katherine's is their Muddy Waters cocktail and their pizzas.

Bars

Downtown Winona has a lot of options! We would suggest Port 507, Market Street Tap, and Mulligan's, or all 3! They are within walking distance of each other. If you're looking for more of a chill spot, Two Fathoms Brewery has draft beers on tap and board games, or if you're willing to drive, Elmaro Winery is amazing (but outdoors)!
