— Walker Homestead winery —
Just beginning to press the grapes into wine, we are in year one and have three wine offerings under the license of our good friends at Revasser Winery. Plans are underway to build the Walker Homestead barn which will be home to our winery and tasting room on the homestead. For now you can buy Walker Homestead wine at the New Pioneer Food Co-ops in Cedar Rapids, Coralville or Iowa City or at Revasser Winery in Ainsworth, Iowa.

Help Us Grow
Since purchasing the "North 80" in May 2017, we planted 12 acres of pasture, a 3 acre vegetable garden, 50 acres of soy beans, 600 grape vines, and reclaimed a barn foundation into our herb garden.
Next steps:
Hold farm stand/tours through Spring & Fall
Host farm to table harvest dinners
Build winery & agriculture education center
Add sheep, goats, Scottish highland cows, lama, and pigs to our expanding flock of meat and egg laying chickens

A light red blend of Frontenac Gris and Marquette, with hints of a more complex wine, this wine tantalizes the taste buds as you try to find all the nuances in each varietal. The perfect wine to contrast salty cheeses and charcuteries.
Silver Award Winner of the Mid-American Wine Competition! Rose style wine where the skins were allowed to stay in touch with the wine just long enough to bring on its pink. Hints of strawberry and grapefruit. Perfect for brunch or lunch.
Merry Me is a 100% Frontenac Gris Brut Sparkling Pink Wine. Made using the traditional French Methode Champenoise, This wine naturally fermented in its bottle. Serve well-chilled.
