Are you curious about the wine making and growing process? Here at Wide River Winery, we offer tours of our winery and vineyard located in Clinton, Iowa.
Get a chance to learn all about the winemaking process with a guided tour from a member of our dedicated winery staff. You can enjoy our wine while you learn, too! Find out what it’s like to grow and process fruit, and ferment, age and bottle wine while you sip your glass.
Beyond just hearing about the winemaking process, you’ll get to learn about the story behind how Wide River was born and how the business has grown. Plus, you’ll have the opportunity to explore the 16 acres of our scenic vineyards where the grapes we use to make our wine are grown.
In addition to the vineyard, you’ll get a chance to swing past the greenhouse where our owner, Dorothy O’Brien, grows beautiful flowers that decorate all three of our tasting rooms.
Our tour ends back in the tasting room, where you’ll have the chance to see our production line and cap everything off with our award winning wine and tasty snacks. Be sure to step out on the deck for the gorgeous view of the glimmering Mississippi River that Wide River Winery gets its name from.
This is a perfect activity for a day trip for you, your friends and family. Our winery is located just a short drive outside of the Chicagoland area. Don’t forget to ask about our River Lodge, where we offer overnight and weekend stays!
Our winery tours are affordable and educational fun. A full vineyard and winery tour only costs $25 per person and includes a glass of wine! Tours are offered from the months of April to October from 11am-5pm, and are weather permitting.
To schedule a tour at our winery, purchase tour tickets here and let us know when you’re coming. We’ll communicate via email if we need to make any adjustments to your preferred time.
