Empty Nest Winery

Empty Nest Winery Serving up the best wine, sangria, seltzers, and cider in Northeast Iowa since 2011. A small farm wi
(477)

In 2010, our youngest child graduated and left for college leaving our nest empty. Beginning as a hobby in 2011, the husband and wife founders of Empty Nest Winery realized they loved making wine more than milking. So they decided to swap animals for making wine, and Empty Nest Winery was born. With a wide selection of wines, homemade sangria, and homemade ciders, we’re the place to gather with fr

iends and relax. The summer months can be enjoyed on our massive outdoor patio. When the winter comes, we have two rooms (one for events), craft beer, and free popcorn. With our ever-changing selection of fruit wines and warm hospitality, we invite you to come relax and taste the fruits of our labor.
