Next Chapter Winery is a family-run winery in New Prague, Minnesota. After Timothy Tulloch built a successful coffee roasting business, he and wife Therese decided to pursue a lifelong dream of starting their own vineyard. In 2007, they planted 3,700 cold-hardy grapes on their farm and opened Next Chapter Winery a couple years later.
When making wine, Timothy draws from his experience roasting coffee and uses old-world techniques, such as barrel-aging and grape stomping, to highlight and enhance the wines’ flavors. To grow Next Chapter’s business, Timothy would like to offer more varieties of wine, which would require using more grapes from other regions.
