I really don’t like wine but went home with 6 bottles after doing the wine flight. Very friendly staff. Was not pushy about purchasing bottles of wine. Prices are reasonable. Drive up to the winery was mostly one way but had areas to move over if met another vehicle. View was spectacular. Will return when in the area again.

It’s off the beaten path, bonus. The deck covered nicely w shade trees is amazing to enjoy outdoors and also enjoy a nice view of the Mississippi. The wine is very good, but the meat and cheese sampler tray is really delicious, highly recommend! The staff are very friendly and welcoming to visitors to enjoy your experience. Highly recommend for a Saturday afternoon getaway.

We visited the Wide River Winery on a bright and sunny late September day and could not have been more pleased with our visit. Everything from the views sitting on the outside deck overlooking the Mississippi river to the wonderful 'not so small plate' of cheese olives and other tasty treats to the wonderful red wine we were captivated by this unique "off the beaten path" attraction. The wine and the food were both reasonably priced. I can't say enough good things about my visit. Experience it yourself.

MY ALL TIME FAVORITE WINERY! I am not a big red wine fan, I prefer white wine but at wide river, I love their sweet red wines!! My favorites are the sweet justice and pursuit of happiness!! They have tastings, a very nice patio section, and a trail that you can take that leads to their field of grapes and bluff trail where they have picnic tables and a beautiful view of the water! Inside they do sell bottles of wine, cheese plates, wine slushees! The bathroom is nice and clean and the staff are so friendly! I always buy a few bottles before leaving - can't wait to be back for more.

Wow wow wow!
Hidden gem- we were driving down the road and saw the sign. Quickly pulled off onto the gravel road to begin our journey. Twists and turns up a winding road in the woods, waiting to see around the bend. Then out of nowhere-a beautiful property. Winery and deck looking over the woods and Mississippi River. Beautiful wood bar and shop with tons to buy. Great staff and wonderful tasting. Chance worth trying. Wide variety of wine to please everyone. Will make this our stop every time we are in the area. Thanks for making us welcome.

Wide River is awesome!!!
Let's start with the wines, playful red and white varietals including blends with grapes grown on site dance on your palette. As a Midwesterner, exploring our regions wine capabilities is always a treat and WR rises above.
Highly decorated and awarded, these wines provide something for every taste.
With 4 Iowa locations for tastings, each visually beautiful, you won't be disappointed. However, if you get the chance to visit the main location in Clinton, it's like drinking wine in a treehouse, beautiful!!!
Plus the staff is always incredibly friendly.

This a great place to spend an hour or two with friends. Wine tastings are 7 dollars and include 5 free samples. The bottles are all reasonably priced. Great place to go for a tasting then get a bottle to enjoy on their beautiful deck. The also have a gorgonzola cheese spread and summer sausage cheese plate which are delicious. Don't let the winding dirt road discourage you. Just keep following the signs.

Plan a day trip to the winery. A family operation that will make you part of their wine family.
Enjoy the view of the Mississippi River along their lovely river walk along the bluffs- don't forget to bring a glass of Misdemeanor on your walk.
Oh and the wine doesn't give you headaches! And they sell select wines at Sullivan's in Compton near Galina.
