Region:


Iowa

Iowa is one of the most diverse winegrowing regions in the Midwest. Spanning across the rolling hills and fertile plains, Iowa's American Viticultural Areas (AVAs) cover a wide array of terroir. The cool, fresh breezes from the Mississippi and Missouri rivers play a major role in moderating Iowa's vineyards, tempering the daytime heat and allowing grapes to ripen slowly and fully. Cooler-climate grape varieties thrive in the northern regions, while further south, bigger, bolder wines prevail. Iowa's growing wine industry is crafting exceptional wines that reflect the state's unique and dynamic environmental conditions.
