Odessa Vineyards and Winery

Winery and tasting room; vineyard tours. Wines produced from native Iowa grapes. We started our vineyard in 2006 with the planting of 1.25 Acres of vines. Frontenac, Brianna, Lacrescent, Lacrosse, and Concord were all in the mix. Our intent was to grow and sell our grapes for a few years, then open our own winery. The onset of age and the inevitable decline in energy level led to the acceleration of our timetable.       Two years later we added another two grape varieties, Esprit and St. Croix, in a .75 A block. Additionally, we have proceeded with the conversion of our barn into a small winery and tasting room. Progress continues while our third vintages are "in the tanks" and doin' they're thing.
