About Us The Eastern Iowa Wine Club was founded in November of 2007 after several eastern Iowa wine makers met on the Winepress US forum boards and began talking about forming a wine making group. We have formed a strong nucleus of members. Our membership is currently comprised of individuals from Benton, Black Hawk, Butler, Cedar, Dubuque, Linn, Johnson and Jones Counties in east central Iowa. We welcome you to join us! |
Our Members Members in the Eastern Iowa Wine Club have a wide variety of backgrounds and experience in wine making. Although we make our livings in many different ways, we have one very important thing in common. We are all passionate about wine and wine making and are always excited to help or answer questions about crafting fine wines. |

Our Goals The goals of the Eastern Iowa Wine Club are simple and can best be summed up in four simple words: Learning, Helping, Sharing and Growing. We want to continue learning about wine making, helping each other through advice and lending of equipment, sharing our successes and failures and growing together as wine makers and a club. We also want to help other areas in Iowa begin clubs. Contact us if you would like help. |
Activities The Eastern Iowa Wine Club currently meets on a monthly basis in the home of one of the members. Special Iowa winery road trips also take place on a near monthly basis. We are also active in organizing and sponsoring wine competitions at county fairs. Visit the events page to learn of activities in the eastern Iowa area. |
