Iowa’s oldest winery

Summerset Winery previous owners started planting grapes on Summerset Ridge in 1989 and became one of the first estate wineries in Iowa. The winery is now over 30 years old and continues to be one of the largest producing wineries in the state. Summerset Winery was sold in 2021 and is still a family owned and operated business that works hard to produce award winning quality wines from local grapes. At the core of it all, we believe that wine should be fun and enjoyed by all. Stop by the winery for a wine tasting, take a look at our wedding venue or grab a glass of wine on the decks overlooking the vineyard.
