About
Unwind in the heart of Iowa's scenic landscapes where the charm of vineyard living meets the open road. Our serene RV camping spot invites travelers to bask in a pastoral symphony set among iconic covered bridges and picturesque farmlands. Here, the gentle hum of nature intertwines with the artistry of viticulture, offering an idyllic setting for those with small, adventure-seeking, or off-the-grid campers.
Perched majestically amidst rolling hills and lush rows of grapevines, our lovely location offers magical views that stretch over undulating corn and bean fields a panorama including neighboring scenes of majestic longhorn cattle and elegant horses from Wildwood Hills Ranch. The serenity of the surrounding nature serves as the perfect backdrop for a tranquil escape.
Our site is tailored to fit the needs of the smaller RV camping enthusiast, with spaces designated for quieter Sunday-Thursday getaways near our Tasting Room and Production Building. For the weekend warriors, Friday and Saturday retreats are set on a grassy hill that presents a more rustic challenge with its 10% gravel incline. Be mindful that parking is on naturally uneven and non-level terrain, adding to the off-the-beaten-path allure.
Our Tasting Room is not just a sensory journey through finely crafted wines but also a communal hub where guests can enjoy a glass on a large patio cradled by amphitheater-like terraces. Indulge in a diverse selection of wines, born from vines planted with passion and care by 2001. The spirit of family runs deep, as our winery is a testament to the combined effort of the Bakker family and their friends, selling wine commercially since 2005.
In 2007, the birth of our production facility marked a new chapter, with further expansion in 2010 welcoming a tasting room and warehouse. The experience is heightened by the availability of craft beers from our on-premises collaborators, enhancing the epicurean adventure.
Whether it's for the delectable libations or the allure of RV camping among the idyllic hills of Madison County, our retreat is a hidden gem for those seeking a blend of adventure, intimacy with nature, and the indulgence of locally produced wines and beers. Embrace the countryside charm and make unforgettable memories under the Iowa sky.
