Wineries in Iowa

The Iowa Wine Growers Association lists these wine trails: Iowa Wine Trail, in the upper Mississippi Valley; I-80 Wine Trail, within 10 miles of the highway; Western Iowa; Heart of Iowa, across much of the central third; Amana Colonies Wineries; Scenic Rivers, in the southeast corner; Northwest Prairie, reaching the Loess Hills; and Back Roads, southeast of Des Moines around Highway 92. Two American Viticultural Areas (AVAs) reach into Iowa: Upper Mississippi River Valley (2009) in the northeast and Loess Hills District (2016) in the west. Iowa growers plant cold-climate varieties able to withstand winter. Plan a designated driver, a rideshare or a tour for each tasting day.
