🍷 Local Wine, Exceptional Taste 🍷

You don’t have to drive out to the vineyards to experience the very best of Madison County wine country—we bring it straight to your table!

We are incredibly proud to pour from two phenomenal local wineries, each showcasing the unique, vibrant flavors of native and hybrid Iowa grapes. Here is what makes our local partners so special:

🌾 Madison County Winery Nestled in the rolling hills between Winterset and St. Charles, this local favorite is celebrated for its laid-back, community-driven charm. They craft a delicious, highly versatile portfolio of wines—ranging from crisp, summer-ready whites (like their beloved Summer Blonde Moscato) to robust, flavorful reds. Whether paired with artisan chocolates or just enjoyed during a relaxing evening out, their bottles capture the true, welcoming spirit of Iowa.

🪵 Covered Bridges Winery Taking its name from the deeply historic and iconic landmarks right here in our backyard, Covered Bridges Winery produces award-winning wines crafted from 100% Iowa-grown grapes. Combining traditional winemaking techniques with the rich, fertile soils of the North River Valley, they are legendary for bringing out stunning aromas and crisp profiles in native and French-American hybrid varietals—including a deeply favored, award-winning Edelweiss.

The best part? You can compare and savor them side-by-side right here in our lounge. Grab a seat, pick your pour, and raise a glass to local craftsmanship!
