Whitetail Valley Cellars Winery

Whitetail Valley Cellars is a small winery in the loess hills of southwest Iowa. We are located between Viking Lake State Park and Montgomery County Erickson Conservation Area in a beautiful natural setting. Apple orchards, a source of fruit for our wines, grow on the slopes of Whitetail Valley. Apfel Wein is our specialty. We grow over 60 varieties of apples in our sustainably managed streuobstwiese meadow orchard. Our family ancestral home is the Rhine Valley wine region of Switzerland. Winemaking is in our history. We have been making wine for family enjoyment for many years. Our experience has gone into developing our methods of handcrafted small batch production. We craft our wines with care, skill and the highest quality fruit available. We create clean, fresh wines expressing our unique Iowa soils and climate. Our tag line expresses our dedication to expressing our local terroir; 'Taste an Iowa Summer in Every Glass'™ We have expanded our wine list using other fruit in combination with our Apfel Wein. We craft a variety of other fruit wines. Our goal is not to be the largest winery in Iowa. Our goal is to always maintain quality over quantity. "Klein abver Fein," Small but excellent. Das Stübli, our Swiss themed tasting room, is open from the beginning of May through end of December on Friday and Saturday from 2 til 8 p.m. and Sunday 2 til 6 p.m. We may be open shorter hours in the winter. We are always happy to arrange reservations. Come enjoy some Swiss Gemütlichkeit!
