Close your eyes and picture the perfect summer setting: the warm rays of the sun gently warming your face, a cool drink in your hand, the sizzling sounds of the grill, and searing mouth-watering creations. Welcome to the 11th annual GrillFest— a weekend celebrating the very best parts of the summer season.

GrillFest will return to CHS Field on Saturday, June 3 & Sunday, June 4, from 1 to 5 pm each day.

Test out the best grills, gather recipes, and learn how to barbecue like a pro while sampling the best burgers, beer, sweet treats, seltzers, Bloody Marys, margaritas, summer wines, and more. Play outdoor games, find Minnesota-made art and gifts, listen to music, and enjoy perfect weather. The best part? It’s all included with the
purchase of your ticket.

Family-owned since 1974. For two generations, the Lohr family and their winegrowing team have been leaders on California’s Central Coast. J. Lohr Vineyards & Wines farms approximately 2,300 acres of estate vineyards in Paso Robles dedicated to Cabernet, Merlot, Syrah and other red varietals, and 35 acres of Cabernet Sauvignon, Petit Verdot and Sauvignon Blanc in the St. Helena appellation of Napa Valley. Additionally, J. Lohr also farms over 1,300 acres of cool-climate vineyards in Monterey county. From this expansive palette of fruit, Jerry and his team have created four tiers of wines to emphasize the rich, flavorful diversity of J. Lohr's estate vineyards – J. Lohr Estates, J. Lohr Vineyard Series, J. Lohr Gesture and J. Lohr Cuvee Series. Crafted to highlight bold, concentrated flavors, while also reflecting a vibrant sense of place, each of these tiers offers a unique expression of J. Lohr winemaking.
