Wide River Winery — Attraction in Iowa

Great place that's worth the drive offering uniquely legal-inspired named wines. We followed a long winding gravel road up to the top of the hill to find a small but terrific winery. We were greeted by a friendly host that was quick to answer any question we may of had. They have a decent wine selection to choose from with a few food items to pair them with. The wines we tried were absolutely delicious and I found my all time favorite wine "Serenity" there to boot. The charcuterie board we tried was yummy and full of various meats, cheeses, crackers, breads, etc... Great place, beautiful and scenic location, terrific wines.

The place clean with beautiful views. Had a couple of glasses of wine and enjoyed the beautiful day. Definitely have to visit this place in the fall when the leaves begin to turn their marvelous colors. They also serve hors d’oeuvres....

I’m really impressed with the wine and selection. I was very pleased with my sweet red. It was raspberry heavy, which I love so I think that’s why I loved it so much even though I’m a semi-dry drinker. I got the Pursuit Of Happiness. Great little find! We stumbled across this simply by driving by their sign on...
