  is ready to kick off their 9th season in the tasting room on May 4, 2024. Located just a mile and a half southeast of the Casselton exit, off I94, 4e Winery is a great place to wind down after a long week or meet up with friends for a glass of your favorite wine on the deck on a sunny afternoon.

Here are a few fun things to expect this season.

• Live Music: One Thursday night a month in June, July, and August, 4e is bringing live music to their new Prairie Pavilion. Enjoy the music of local talent Matt Dauner, Jim White, and Dillon Spurlin on June 6, July 11, and August 8, respectively. Bring a lawn chair and settle in for a fun and relaxing evening of live music on the prairie.
• Flat Top Fridays: On select Fridays this summer, Chef Greg will be pulling out the Flat Top Grill and cooking up some delicious eats such as tacos and noodle stir fry. Make sure to follow them on Facebook and sign up on their website for email updates at www.4ewinery.com so you don’t miss out.
• Special Events: 4e has some ideas up their sleeve such as puzzle nights, trivia nights, exclusive library tastings, and more, so stay tuned.
• Not Just Wine: If wine is not your thing, 4e is hooking up with local favorite Icewind Brewery to provide a rotating selection of craft beer on tap. In addition, Greg’s Hard Lemonade is a light and delicious lemon wine served cold and sparkling on ice, perfect for a hot day on the deck. They also have two types of cold Sangria - a traditional red Summer Sangria and a refreshing white Prairie Peach Sangria - or you can combine the two to make what they call a Cottonwood Drive Sunrise, named for the regulars who invented it.
• Nibbles and Bites: 4e Winery has one of the most extensive plant-based menus in the Red River Valley. Enjoy a vegan BBQ Chicken Sandwich or Mediterranean Grinder, Southwest Chicken or Black Bean and Corn Quesadilla, or a hummus plate featuring Greg’s fabulous house-made hummus. New this on the menu this year: Soft pretzels with a house-made cheesy or spicy mustard dip.
• Private Events: 4e Winery is the perfect place for your special event such as bridal showers bachelorette parties, intimate weddings, birthday celebrations, corporate events, or any other small gathering. You can choose from three unique spaces for your event. They still have some summer dates available, so see their website for more information.
