GRAND HALL

Our Story

Bold North Cellars began in 1999 with Carlos Creek Winery setting down roots in the Alexandria Lakes Community. Surrounded by pristine lakes and natural beauty, Carlos Creek Winery quickly became a must-see destination in Minnesota for its award-winning wines and beautiful landscaping. But our growth didn’t stop there.

In 2000, The Grand Hall was constructed and originally served as a horse stable and indoor riding arena. In 2008 we renovated and hosted our first wedding. Since then The Grand Hall has undergone multiple renovations, with the latest in Winter/Spring 2021. Named Minnesota Bride’s Best in 2020, 2021,& 2022 we strive for memorable celebrations for our couples and their guests.

In 2019 the property continued growth with the addition of 22 Northmen Brewing Company, adding a unique pairing of craft beer to our craft wine. At 22 Northmen we create craft lagers, adventurous ales and original blends including experimental brews with wine & wine barrels. This coming summer we are excited to introduce the latest expansion of our beer canning production building and remodeled brewery.

Property has grown through the years from a vineyard to what we all know today to be Bold North Cellars. A family owned and operated destination for connection and celebration in Alexandria, Minnesota. Focusing on sustainable, high-quality, and memorable products and experiences.
