November 2011 Wine Trail Event

The November 2011 Wine Trail door prize winners were the following two lucky wine trail travelers. The drawing winners were Betty Stone from Clinton, Iowa (visited all nine wineries), and Nancy Goodlove. The winners receive one bottle of wine from each of the nine participating wineries. The winners have received their nine bottles of wine.

The Iowa Wine Trail draws door prize winners from persons who have attended the trail event, completed the evaluation on the back of the ticket, and turn them in at the last winery that they visit. One drawing is held from those persons who visited all nine participating wineries. The other winner is drawn from the total of all tickets turned in at the last winery visited. (Hint - Your odds of being drawn are greater if you visit all participating wineries!

 

What You Can Expect Visiting Our Wineries

Wineries can be visited almost daily and semi-annual Special Events shouldn't be missed. At each site a winemaker is likely nearby to answer questions about growing wine using the region's special varietals. Visitors can view operations, enjoy the grounds, and sample award winning wines and sparkling ciders carrying that special Iowa taste.
