Our apologies, but we are not hosting van-loads, bus trips, wedding parties, ATV or UTVs.  Please limit your group size to 6 or fewer both indoors and outdoors, our space is limited.  No alcoholic beverage carry-ins allowed, as this can create an undue liability.  Thank you. 

Please visit our friends at other wineries with greater capacity nearest us: Empty Nest in Waukon and Eagles Landing in Marquette.  We highly recommend them both!

Below are some pics--a virtual tour of some interesting things to discover in our tasting room--an old granary in which we've found signatures and writing, such as harvest records, the oldest signature is from Aug 19, 1895: "...At Conways..."

Owen Gromme "Egrets Under the Bridge." Owen J. Gromme was born in Fond du Lac, Wisconsin on July 5, 1896.

It was published in the fall of 1963 by the University of Wisconsin Press in Madison, Wisconsin. Alaskan Western redcedar fish-mobile hand made by Reilly and Al on left

Cap a L'Ail collection ( a genuine trifecta)... Sara Lubinski's original oil, a small print of Fred Easker's Lansing Twilight, and the 1860's steel cut print--an artist's rendition of the bluff, Native Americans, and a steamboat.
Thank you for your visit!
Marcia Manning-Kruse, award winning Lansing/Wexford area native's evocative rendition of Nobles Island, on loan from the artist, hangs in our entryway! Nobles Island is just south of Harper's Ferry, Iowa, and is a public use area and boat landing.
Fred Easker's "Wexford Morning" a print of an oil painting Fred made that depicts our local trout stream and picturesque Wexford bottoms, found just adjacent the Immaculate Conception Church on X52, The Great River Road, very near the winery. All of Fred's great paintings bring his subjects into vivid near- sentience with really great life-like detail. Fred and wife Velga have a studio in Lansing.
