Sioux Falls

Minerva's wine list is exactly what a long-running steakhouse institution should be: dependable, Cab-forward, and good enough for the occasion. Just don't expect discovery — come here to drink well, not to explore.

R Wine Bar is the best wine program you didn't know existed in South Dakota, and that's exactly what makes it worth the detour. A sommelier on staff, grower Champagne, single-vineyard Pinot Noirs, and an active events calendar — this place is doing the work.

Harvester Kitchen is the best wine list in Sioux Falls, and it would hold its own in most major cities — the Wine Spectator Best of Award of Excellence is not a fluke. Markups skew steep on the prestige pours, but if you navigate toward the mid-tier options, this is a genuinely rewarding list worth building a dinner around.
