About Iowa City Wine Country

Iowa City is the intellectual and cultural heart of Eastern Iowa, a university city with a UNESCO City of Literature designation, a thriving downtown, and farm wineries in the rolling hills of Johnson County that serve one of the Midwest's most educated and wine-curious populations.

The Iowa River Corridor wine trail connects Iowa City-area producers with the Amana Colonies to the west and the Cedar Valley to the north. For wine visitors, Iowa City works as a hub for multi-winery day trips, spend mornings in the wineries, afternoons in the Pedestrian Mall and independent restaurants.
