You may already know about our world-class art museum, our national Shakespeare festival, and our charming old-world vibe. But did you know you can immerse your guests in a on-farm experience, participate in a guided tour of “art inspired by water” at the Minnesota Marine Art Museum on the banks of the Mississippi River, or help them experience the joy of paddling Mark Twain’s Mississippi?
These and many other experiential group tours await you in Winona.

EXPERIENCE Winona like you haven’t before
Our historic river city is conveniently located six miles from Interstate 90, cradled by towering limestone bluffs on one side and the Mississippi River on the other. But don’t let our boutique size of 27,000 fool you – Winona is hitting way above its weight class in terms of art and entertainment. A cultural mecca in the Midwest, we are home to a spate of signature festivals as well as year round arts and theater events that feature performers from around the nation and the world. Beautiful scenery, interesting folklore, and delicious local flavors top off the reasons why groups love to experience Winona. This is the kind of place people feel like they discover when they come, and most say we are surprisingly weird in a very good way.
