If you haven't been here, or even if you have - GO! Do not give it a 2nd thought! They have a full menu and they do breakfast on Sundays!!

I'm always on the look out for a good dry rose. It was pretty good and I wish to support locally made wines. The bottle I took home was well chilled and I let it breathe a bit. But it was not good and I was hard pressed to believe it was the same that I had tried at the vendor's tent. Very red with a chemical taste and very bitter in the back of the throat and mouth. I decanted it and chilled it a bit more and found a small mound of crystals gathered at the bottom of the bottle. Oh dear. I did buy a bottle of their port. I will wait on that a bit.

From the moment we arrived, the hospitality was warm, thoughtful, and incredibly well organized. Kristy, Bob, and the entire team made us feel genuinely welcomed and took such wonderful care of our group. The setting is absolutely stunning. What they have created is remarkable. The beautiful grounds, relaxed atmosphere, locally sourced farm-to-table meal, and attention to every detail made the evening unforgettable. Our attendees loved everything, from exploring the property and visiting the animals to enjoying dinner and participating in our murder mystery event. Planning an event for a large group can be stressful, but the Walker Homestead team made the process easy and enjoyable. They were responsive, flexible, accommodating, and committed to making sure everything went smoothly. The food was outstanding, the service was excellent, and the entire evening felt personal and special rather than simply being another hosted event. Our group is still talking about how much they enjoyed the experience. Walker Homestead was one of the highlights of our meeting, and I cannot recommend it highly enough for a private event, celebration, dinner, or simply an opportunity to experience this beautiful place. I sincerely hope we have the opportunity to return soon. Thank you to everyone at Walker Homestead for your extraordinary hospitality and for giving our group such a memorable evening!

The ceremony took place on a covered large patio, in front of a wood burning fireplace that added to the ambiance. The reception was filled with an incredible countertop full of delectable charcuterie artfully arranged and just as delicious tasting as it was beautiful. They did such a wonderful job serving all the guests appetizers, drinks at the bar, and a multi course dinner, as well as the wedding cake. The brisket was so tender, it fell apart as soon as you put it on your plate. There was ample parking within the beautiful vineyard. I can't think of one thing that could have been better. The food was perfect, the atmosphere was romantic, and the venue just could not have been more special.

We decided to go tycoga. Thinking it's someplace different, knowing the only food they serve is…read morepizza. I know it's a winery and they want to sell alcohol but all we wanted was something to eat. The only seating was in the bar hallway/lobby (or outside, but it was windy). Inside they have 6 wingback type chairs with a " coffee table" in front of you (can you imagine trying to chew on a hard crusted Pizza, sitting at the coffee table), 2 tall tables, each with 4 tall, hard, sling stools, no backs (which aren't easy to move on the low pile carpet), or a regular height table with six hard, wood chairs with backs, or a couple chairs at the bar. Not knowing if a larger group of people would come in we didn't want to take the areas for six people. So we sat at one of the tall tables with hard sling chairs and no backs. They are extremely uncomfortable, too tall to be comfortable, no matter your height. We were each given a fork wrapped in one small napkin. When the pizzas came out they were very thin, not many toppings (we've had better frozen pizzas than these were and I don't care for frozen pizza). They were impossible to cut with the fork. When you picked them up your hands got black from the underside, from the Wood Fired Pizza. The crust was too hard to chew off. We asked for more napkins and knives and they only had little plastic knives. When questioned about something different we were told that's the only kind they can give us. Which of course there's no way you can cut, with those little plastic knives, the tough crust of the pizza. I would like to see management sitting in those uncomfortable hard tall stools trying to chew a pizza (or cut one with a little plastic knife), with dirty, blackened fingers and try to enjoy one's dinner.

While the building defiantly is of excellent quality, the rest is a disappointing adventure at best. Nothing invites you wanting to stay, enjoy company and sip some wine. Grounds are groomed bare minimum and there are no inviting accents (e.g. flowers or ornaments) offering any appeal. Camping grade watercolors for water dispenser, simple diner style silver wear and plastic dishes. A salad that does not deserve its name. Minimal staff. I had a glas of Eclipse which tasted delightful, similar to grocery store wine at this price. Do yourself a favor and skip this one for now! There are much better wineries available in Iowa. It appears ownership is trying to safe everywhere! Noteworthy: It's 3/4 mile gravel to the property. To no fault of their own, the gnats & bees were out swarming outside, so seating outside diverted us inside. But when we moved to inside we got to enjoy a larger bundle of unruly kids in a small room.
