As Iowa farmers whose ancestors tilled the very land on which we live and work today, it has been our hope to offer our children the agricultural legacy that has defined our family for four generations. Our farm has always been a place that has fulfilled our family, where our work bonds us and the harvest sustains us, just as it has for the previous generations that have called this farm “home.”We have planted our vineyards and built Fireside Winery for our children, and their children, and for the continued livelihood of our family’s land. With our winery, we hope to continue to draw family and friends back to this special place for years to come.We invite you to share Fireside Winery with us. Bring the family for an afternoon midst the beautiful rolling hills of Iowa, or gather with friends around one of our fireplaces or our fire ring for a relaxing evening with a bottle of our very special hand-crafted native Iowa wine.We believe that life, family, and traditions are meant to be celebrated — and we hope that Fireside wines will soon become part of your family’s traditions and celebrations, too.— William and Rona Wyant « less

I have been to Fireside numerous times. I am always pleased with the wine, winery and friendliness of the staff. Fireside goes way out of their way to educate their tasting room staff about their wines so they can in turn educate their costumers. As one who has been to countless winery tasting rooms from coast to coast, I can... More

Atmosphere was lacking. Johnny come lately without anything 'special' to justify their pricing. They should have stayed with midwestern farming - corn, beans and beef. It is the old silk purse from a sow's ear story.

Delightful day! Great Iowa winery. We participated in the taste testing of a new sweet white wine variety almost ready for production. (sometime in summer 2012) Throughout the afternoon, there must have been about 40+ tasters, putting their taste buds to work testing for sweetness. It was amazing how much a little more or less sugar content changes one's preference... More

Hello, The white wine tasting trial was a tremendous success because of the help from you and the other participants. We learned a ton from the tasting trial! The new sweeter-style white wine will be bottled by early summer. Thanks for helping us craft this new wine! See you soon! Brad Johnson, External Relations (319-662-4222) More

One of the truly wonderful benefits of working at FIreside Winery is meeting people who love wine and the Iowa wine industry as much as I do. Your passion as a wine ambassador was clear and we couldn't miss the opportunity to get you to work in our winery in the tasting room! Thanks for your review and thanks for... More

We visited Fireside Winery on a crisp autumn evening in mid-October. Of course we enjoyed the wine tasting (love it!) and the pleasant company of the staff there. Be sure to try one of their appetizers with a bottle of wine. We snacked on a bread basket with cheese (they had a really nice selection of cheeses). We were the... More

It's got a descent variety of wine, mostly sweet, some descent views of Iowa farmland, and nice tables and chairs to take a seat and sip on wine.

My husband and I really enjoy visiting this winery, and we are from California wine country! This was our third visit and this time we got to enjoy the Friday night band and barbeque. The band, Dogs on Skis, was great. I was amazed at the attendance, probably over 200 people, some with their lawn chairs, blankets and young children.... More

We ventured just a couple miles off the Amana Colonies Trail loop on Saturday afternoon of our girl's weekend to visit Fireside & we were so glad we did. We tasted all the wines of the Amana Colonies & Fireside wines were by far our favorites. We were also thrilled to find an appetizer menu. We ordered the brie app,... More
