Pioneers of South Dakota Wine
In 1996, Eldon Nygaard fermented South Dakota's first commercial wine after drafting the legislation that made it possible. Today, his family continues the tradition — with son Leif, a sixth-generation American winemaker, now leading Stone Faces Distillery. What began with a mulberry wine on a Turner County farm has grown into a 15,000-square-foot destination where visitors can taste, celebrate, and stay.
