Whitetail Valley Cellars Winery

Welcome to Whitetail Valley in the rolling hills of Southwest Iowa’s Loess Hills region. This beautiful natural setting is home to the many whitetail deer that inspire the name of our farm. We are located adjacent to the camping, fishing and outdoor recreational resources of Viking Lake State Park. We celebrate our Swiss family heritage of stewardship, quality, craftsmanship and hospitality. 

Welcome to Whitetail Valley Cellars where we hand craft small-batch fruit wines, sourced from our sustainably grown meadow orchard. Tour our Kelterei and see how our wine is made from our orchard to the glass in your hand. With over a dozen fruit wines in production you are sure to find a favorite. Our wine is made to express the richness of our prairie soils and Iowa climate. You really can ‘Taste an Iowa summer in every glass’™ 

Welcome to Das Stübli: The Gathering Place, our cozy Swiss-themed tasting room. Savor local cheeses, Iowa sourced charcuterie, and Swiss chocolates paired with our unique wines. You're welcome here for a tasting discovery, a friendly gathering, to reserve the room for your special event, or just to relax in the screen free calm of the Iowa countryside. Leave stress behind and find some Swiss Gemütlichkeit* in the peaceful beauty of our valley. 

Welcome to the simple pleasures of family tradition, sustainable production, and heartfelt hospitality at Whitetail Valley—where the land, the production, and the people all come together in this special place. You are welcome here not just as customers, but as guests and friends. 

We invite you to share our Gemütlichkeit* amidst the peaceful beauty of our corner of Iowa! Welcome to Whitetail Valley!
