Kesselring Vineyards is the only Riverbank Grape (Vitis Riparia) Vineyard in the U.S. Owner Jason Kesselring and his team grow grapes native to the Sheyenne Valley. All of their vines are grown and sourced on their ranch land and the area.

“The Riverbank grape is notable for being indigenous to the northern and eastern parts of Canada and the U.S.,” Kesselring said. “Many historians believe that Vitis Riparia was the grape variety Leif Erickson and the Vikings found when they discovered America in 1000 A.D.— so impressed that they named the land they discovered ‘Vinland’ meaning ‘Vine-land.’ Big, lush, and fruit-forward in flavor, our Riverbank wine is complex with tastes of plum, fig, black cherry, and even tobacco undertones.”
