Penoach Vineyard & Winery

Best Iowa winery I've been to. The wine, atmosphere, and hospitality are great! I prefer not as sweet of wines, but they have it ALL! I even love their sweet wines. The Frontenac and IowabVignoles are 2 of my favorites. If you're close by it's definitely worth a stop- you'll probably go back again.

We decided to stop on our way home from a road trip. Planned side jaunt....glad we did. Quaint and quiet and the hot hard apple wine was excellent. Sat in the sun and enjoyed it on a crisp fall day. The people running it are very nice and very helpful. We will be back.

I would have given a 5, but the band was cancelled and we didn't get any notification. It still is a wonderful place to buy some wine and visit all the vendors that r there...then sit and enjoy the views and your wine!!!

Idyllic setting just a few miles west of Des Moines. Penoach offers a great selection of quality wine. The winery's owners are a joy to talk to you and are very hospitable. Penoach is the best winery in central Iowa by far.

Penoach is a pretty good winery. Came here on a Saturday afternoon. They have a free tasting for 5 samples. Really enjoyed their Picket Fence White, wasn't sweet like a lot of Iowa wines. They also have an apple wine that tastes like apple pie. You have to buy a bottle of wine to have a glass here. They have a nice area outside to enjoy it. The people working here were very nice.

I also bought a boat from this vineyard except mine came with a private butler and 1 year supply of wine. JUST KIDDING!!!! HA HA... Loved the wine and the people there were super friendly. Will definitely go back!

Very nice winery just north of Adel (IA). Small tasting room, but very welcoming (the samples flowed freely). Tasting room also serves as a gift shop/accessories store.
It is always nice to find an Iowa winery that produces wine that does taste like it was vinted in a galvanized wash tub. Sometimes Iowa wines have a medicinal after taste or are excessively sweet. Penoach avoids both hazards and produces wines (reds and whites) that will appeal to many pallets.
We were introduced to Penoach through friends who tab the winery as their favorite. With the fine quality of wines, we can understand

Very nice winery-family friendly 😀 many great wines! We sat outside for a couple of hours enjoying the view and grapes. They have a nice setup-delicious wine selection

We had a fun afternoon wine tasting at this cute winery. We had a groupon, but even without one, you get 5 tastings free. If you feel like having more tastings, it's only $5 for 8 tastings. The owner was a great conversationalist and really fun to chat with during our tasting. They offer a variety of wines. Plenty of sweet wines if you're not a huge wine drinker. I prefer dry red wines and really enjoyed the Man's Best Friend wine. They also make ciders aka carbonated wine. We tried the Cheeky Cherry cider and liked it enough to buy a bottle. The wines are reasonably priced (about

Our favorite winery. Stan and Joanie are the best. Check the place out during their summer events. They treat us like family, and that keeps our loyalty! Plus they have great wines, so that doesn't hurt.

I visited for a wine tasting on an Autumn Saturday. The location was scenic, with easy views of the vineyard, and a home style porch right as you enter.
The owners were gracious and lively, offering fun conversation while describing their wines. Atmosphere matters, and the tasting room was casual, cozy, and calm.
The wines were fantastic! After living in the PNW, visiting CA, and Hermann MO for wine trips, their wines made an impact. I enjoyed them all, and bought several. I will return often.
Definitely a highlight among Iowa vineyards!

We had a great experience at Penoach Vineyard and Winery. The owners were very friendly and accommodating with great knowledge of the Iowa wine scene and fun stories. Good selections of Iowa wines that were all enjoyable to taste. I would recommend.
