WALKER HOMESTEAD is home to exquisite events all year round. The Venue and newly constructed Tasting Room sit among the picturesque rolling hills of eastern Iowa farms. With distinct and unforgettable views throughout every season, both spaces provide a unique setting no matter the time of year. Whether you are hosting an intimate gathering or a grandiose celebration, the sophisticated simplicity, fresh-air, and remarkable views of this working farm and winery will create the perfect backdrop.

THE GROUNDS on this 85-acre farm are perfect for an outdoor ceremony, some friendly competition with one of many yard games, a stroll through the vines, or a relaxing sit by one of the movable fire pits. You and your guests will have ample space among these rolling pastures for al fresco dining and year-round lounging. In addition, the barn features five glass doors that open to over 5,000 square feet of covered patio and pavilion where you can easily enjoy the open-air freshness of the outdoors.
IN-HOUSE CATERING is provided by the Walker Homestead team. Known for their open-fire cookery, wood-fired pizzas, and warm hospitality, the team enjoys giving personal attention to each event, ensuring quality of food and service. Every menu is custom and highly product driven for an unforgettable dining experience. From a classic buffet to a laid back barbecue to a multi-course seated family-style dinner, each event and menu is curated to your needs.
