Fall has a way of making home feel especially inviting. As the air turns crisp and Minnesota’s landscape shifts from green to gold, we find ourselves drawn to warm interiors, gathering spaces, and the little details that make a house feel like somewhere we want to stay awhile. It’s also an ideal season to get out and explore—winding through familiar neighborhoods and new communities, taking in the changing scenery, and discovering a little inspiration along the way.

That’s exactly what the Artisan Home Tour offers. More than a collection of remarkable homes, the tour is an experience meant to be shared: a weekend excursion with friends, a day spent discovering new corners of the Twin Cities, and a chance to imagine what home could look like for you.

Presented by Pella Windows & Doors, the Fall Artisan Home Tour returns Oct. 9-25, Fridays through Sundays, noon to 6 p.m. This year’s tour features 24 extraordinary homes across the Twin Cities metro, including remodeled homes the final weekend of the event. For $35, visitors gain access to a curated collection of homes showcasing some of Minnesota’s most exceptional residential architecture and design. But the experience extends well beyond what’s inside the front door.

Pack into the car with friends or family, grab a coffee, and set off for the first stop on your carefully planned route. Maybe lunch in Edina or Ham Lake breaks up the day, or a particularly inspiring room prompts an impromptu stop at a home design store on Lake Street in Wayzata. Part home tour, part fall outing, every route offers something a little different—and that’s part of the fun.

The Artisan Home Tour showcases an impressive range of architectural styles, design perspectives, and ways of living. Home No. 11 by Gonyea Custom Homes captures that contrast all on its own. Set in Edina’s picturesque Rolling Green neighborhood, the home pairs a sophisticated transitional aesthetic with a distinctly modern edge. Inside, playful wallpapers, creative tile installations, and unexpected details lend warmth and personality.

In Shorewood, Home No. 7 by Scarfone Contracting embraces midcentury-modern design through thoughtful architecture by Charles R. Stinson. Clean horizontal lines and subtle curves settle naturally into the lakeside setting, where west-facing sunsets and unobstructed views of Wawatosa (Boy Scout) Island create an unforgettable backdrop.

Then there’s Home No. 15 by SD Custom Homes, a tranquil retreat designed to feel like an escape from everyday life. Natural stone, smooth stucco, timber accents, and expansive windows make a striking first impression, while custom millwork and handcrafted cabinetry carry the craftsmanship inside. From the grand foyer, views extend through the vaulted great room to a peaceful pond beyond.

And these are only a glimpse of what awaits. Across 24 homes, the Fall Artisan Home Tour offers countless ideas to admire, details to discover, and possibilities to bring home with you. Whether you arrive with a project in mind or simply an appreciation for exceptional design, consider this your invitation to spend a fall weekend dreaming.
