Javens Family Vineyard & Winery is a family-owned and operated winery located just outside Mankato, MN, since planting their first vineyard in 2010 and expanding to about seven acres. They handle the entire process from vine to wine on-site and opened a tasting room in 2016 with a small indoor space and large patio overlooking the vineyard. It's a relaxed destination to sip wine and enjoy time with friends and family.
