Iowa wine is special and unique in its very own way, thanks to the varietals of grapes that are used to produce the wines made in our state. Iowa vineyards grow what is known as ‘hybrid’ or cold-hardy grapes, which are grapes specifically tailored to our region's climate. These aren't your standard 'been around the block a time or two’, mass-market wines being made here in Iowa - they're fresh, fruitier and less tannic varietals such as Brianna, Vignoles, Frontenac and Marechal Foch, handcrafted in styles that will blow your tastebuds away.
Iowa wineries are making award-winning wines from exciting new grapes that many mainstream consumers have yet to experience - all the more reason to plan your next weekend adventure visiting Iowa wineries for a relaxing, friendly and downright fun time! So plan your next staycation or join us in Iowa exploring our nearly 100 wineries across the state and the different wine styles and varietals we offer to find YOUR new favorite wine.
