“Good wine”

Reviewed May 20, 2013 NEW

Saw billboards all over for this winery. Had to buy the Red Azz Rhubarb. FREE wine tasting. Tried to buy it at a local Wal-Mart and was told by them that Prairie wanted to stay small and did NOT want to make the mass produced wine that Wal-Mart needed!

Thank you for stopping and giving the wine a try. Right now our focus is on making enough wine to keep our winery stocked. We have expanded to some retailers, but most of them are smaller and locally-owned. To find a list of our retailers, located all across South Dakota, check out our website, then go to "shop," then "retailers."... More

“Great vacation stop”

Reviewed May 20, 2013 NEW

We stopped here after seeing the billboards for their rhubarb wine. We were very impressed with the modern facilities and the upbeat and helpful staff. One great plus was that they had activities for the kids so we could take our time with the wine tasting and shopping! They have a small bistro-style place to dine. Although we didn't eat... More

“A very fun experience”

Reviewed December 26, 2012

We traveled through the Black Hills for our 40th wedding anniversary. We stopped at the Prairie Berry Winery mainly because we are a member of their wine club. What a fun and unique experience. We knew their wine was good because of our club membership but to be able to choose not only the type of wine we are into... More

“Pretty good wine”

Reviewed December 8, 2012

Stopped here to check out their Red A** Rhubarb Wine that is advertised on all the billboards. I love Rhubarb so I couldn’t resist. This was actually a super nice winery, very modern and large and a great tasting room. Were even a lot of kids in there hanging out with their parents, so don’t think if you have kids... More

Thank you for visiting and for taking the time to write a review! We're glad you found some wines you liked. We understand that Red A** Rhubarb (raspberry/rhubarb) is not for everyone! That is why in October we brought back our Uncle Ralph's Rhubarb, a plain rhubarb wine, which might be more to your liking than Red A** Rhubarb. Thank... More

“A unique experience give it a try”

Reviewed December 8, 2012

I've stopped at Prairie Berry several times over the past two years. It's right on the way from Denver to Rapid City. It's been fun to watch the progress of the improvements they've made. This was the first time I've been there since the new guest center was finished. All I can say is WOW. Not only did they create... More

Love this winery!! I am not a huge wine fan, but this place has something for everyone, plus a nice food menu and knowledgable staff. Check out the Fezziwig Festival the first weekend in December, always a good time!

“Prices have gone up”

Reviewed October 1, 2012

They have remodeled/added space - but have also raised their prices. We found the wines not as good as they have been in the past. If you like sweet wines, you may like them, but for drier wines, try the other wineries.

“Fantastic winery”

Reviewed September 25, 2012

We loved the wine tasting! The server who helped us was so helpful and gave us great suggestions. We ate outside and enjoyed our meals immensely while taking in the gorgeous Black Hills views. I don't think you can go wrong here. I highly recommend the Red A** Rhubarb! It's fantastic!
