A Picture Perfect View
MARQUETTE PAVILION
The Marquette Pavilion is an elegant clear span structure with open glass sliding walls and 360° panoramic views of the Estate vineyards and Lake Waconia. It has ambient and café lighting with crystal chandeliers, polished concrete floors, and a raised stage. We no longer host weddings, but this space may be rented for larger corporate events during the week (Tuesday-Thursday).
MARQUETTE PAVILION PATIO
The happening spot for many of our events and festivals, the Marquette Pavilion Patio overlooks the Estate vineyards and has the perfect view of Lake Waconia. With a cover overhang, this open-air seating provides the perfect setting for jazz and wine.
Picnic Grove
The Picnic Grove is a favorite spot among the guests of Sovereign Estate, with large trees providing ample shade from the sun, the Grove is easily one of the most relaxing and laid-back areas on the Estate. Guests also love to gather round our large bonfire pit during the Fall months to laugh with friends and enjoy some wine.
Patio Bistro
Conveniently located directly outside the Tasting Room, Wine Shop, and Bistro, our Patio Bistro is second to none in the state of Minnesota. During Sundays at Sovereign, the Patio is the center of all the action, as guests can sit back and enjoy live music while sampling a flight of our world class wines. Visit our Patio Bistro Page for more information.
Covered Veranda
Adjacent to our Patio Bistro, our Covered Veranda offers the perfect spot for guests who are seeking a bit of protection from the elements, be it sunshine or rain. Our Veranda also offers ample heating for the colder months in Minnesota.
COURTYARD CABANAS
Our Courtyard Cabanas were created for customers who want a country luxury in a private setting. Single cabanas may be rented for up to eight guests or double cabanas may be rented for up to sixteen guests. All Cabanas may be combined to accommodate larger groups and parties. For more information on renting a Courtyard Cabana, please visit our Courtyard Cabana Page.
