Winery, Brewery & Distillery
Production that works and a room people want to book.
Orton Companies builds winery, brewery, and distillery buildings in Minnesota — production floors, tasting rooms, and event space under one coordinated roof. We design hospitality-plus-production buildings that can take tanks, drains, and a Friday night crowd.
Who we build this for
Founders moving out of a rented industrial bay, farms adding a tasting room, or operators who need production and hospitality to share a site without compromising either.
What we offer
- Production floors with drains and utility spines
- Tasting rooms with the right light and acoustics
- Event or patio overflow
- Cooler, barrel, and storage rooms
- Planned for guest occupancy and production utilities
- An exterior that photographs as a destination
How we build it
Tanks and guest experience both get real square footage. We coordinate process utilities early so the pretty room is not fighting the brew house.

The process
01
Your site and how you will use it
Orton Companies walks the property, maps access, drainage, and utilities, and locks how you will use the building so it fits Minnesota code and your daily work.
02
Design and materials
We produce a clear layout, how the building will look from the street, and a steel-and-timber package sized for snow load, wind, and the way you will actually use the space.
03
Construction
A licensed crew sets posts or frame, encloses the shell, and finishes doors, roof, and interiors on a schedule built for Minnesota seasons.
04
Walkthrough
You walk the finished building with us, we close the punch list, and you get a space ready for equipment, animals, customers, or living — from the same team that designed it.
