Clara City is home to a semi-annual (March-November) craft show that has become a major event for both young and old. Unique shops to check out include Shades of the Past Quilt Shop and Hinterland Vineyards. north of Clara City one and a half mile, Hinterland Vineyards makes wines from varieties of grapes grown in Minnesota, many which come from the Prairie Waters Region. Pastures A Plenty, eight miles north of Clara City, has an on-farm store where you can buy pasture raised pork products, fresh from their pasture to your plate!
Hinterland Vineyards & Winery
Starting with each clip of the pruner during the long winter on the prairie begins a new season and expectation of a wine from the sweetland of the prairie. Hinterland Vineyard and Winery produces a wine that you can share with family and friends, and brings people together in conversation and laughter. The labor in the vineyard ends in a experience that can be taken in and shared with others.
