ROSEVILLE, MINN. — The Twin Cities’ premiere high-end home event, the Artisan Home Tour, is set to open its fall event on October 4. This tour features 16 incredible new homes open from 12-6 p.m. Fridays – Sundays October 4-20. Plus, four artisan-quality remodeled homes will be open the final weekend, October 18-20.
The Artisan Home Tour showcases homes that have each been designed and constructed with the highest level of architectural integrity, top-quality craftsmanship and exceptionally high-level finishes. These multi-million-dollar homes from the region’s most exclusive homebuilders and remodelers also feature the latest in home design, materials, accessories and colors.
Tickets
An all-access ticket or a single-visit ticket is required for entry into the homes.
All-access tickets can be purchased at area Bachman’s at a discounted rate of $25. They can also be purchased online at ArtisanHomeTour.org or in the Artisan Home Tour app for $30, or at the door of any home on the tour for $35. Single-visit tickets are available for $5 at the door and online.

Partial proceeds from the Artisan Home Tour help to support the work of the Housing First Minnesota Foundation, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization composed of Housing First Minnesota members and supporters who contribute their time, materials and expertise to help the Foundation build and remodel safe housing for Minnesota’s homeless, veterans and others in need. Recent projects include an apartment renovation for women going through addiction recovery and new homes designated as housing for veterans in need.
