About
A small, family-owned winery in the rolling hills of Benton County, Iowa, operated by David and Mary Paustian with help from their children, grandchildren, and dogs. They produce a range of wines from dry whites to sweet reds, plus a semi-sweet hard cider, and offer vineyard and production room tours by appointment. They participate in local farmers markets, vendor shows, and events with live music and food trucks.
