We have opened our new winery! Our tasting room is Das Stübli 'the Gathering Place' and welcomes guests with Swiss style Gemülichkeit!
Our production area is “Kelterei-Kutzli”. The kelterei (wine press) fits our method of winemaking. It includes the fermentation room, a cellar for maturation and a bottling area.
We also have retail space for our orchard apples and pumpkins in the fall.
Our tasting room is may be reserved for private events. We gladly make special arrangements to open at other times to welcome you! Das Stübli is available for meetings, family events and friendly get togethers. We would love to share our gemütlichkeit with your special event at Das Stübli.

We specialize in fruit wine, artisan cheeses and Swiss chocolates. Small carefully crafted batches of Apfel Wein and other fruit wines are made with old world quality which our Swiss ancestors would approve. Not too sweet nor too heavy, our wines are made for modern tastes which you will love. Try our wines and "Taste an Iowa Summer in Every Glass!"™

We are welcoming visitors to our Swiss tasting room called "Das Stübli" It means, "The Gathering Place." We have cheeses from small makers in Iowa and Wisconsin and Charcuterie from small farms.

Available to reserve for events. Just call. Experience the Gemütlichkeit!

Whitetail Valley Orchards
Apples grow here in a traditional Swiss German meadow orchard. Called a Streuobstwiese, over 60 unique varieties of trees spread across the valley. No chemicals. No poisons. Fruit as nature designed. Our apples are better for you, better for the planet and better tasting too! Apples are for sale at the farm as they ripen between September and November. Watch facebook for what is in season or send us an email and we will let you know what is ready in the orchard.

Grampaw's Punkin Patch
We started planting pumpkins for our grandkids and the idea caught on. At Grampaw's Punkin Patch we have pumpkins, squash, gourds and fall decor. We don't have anything scary or gory at Grampaw's. We are safe for your little ones with lots of Autumn harvest beauty for the older ones! Bring your kids! Bring your grandkids! Grampaw would love to see you.
