Wine at the fair

Over the next couple of days I plan to post a few pictures I never got to from the Iowa State Fair.

In the past few years the wine industry has exploded in Iowa. I was still surprised to see a wine tent:
It looks much more classy than the beer tents that are still running.

Even more surprising was a wine barn on the other side of the fair grounds.
They took a small old barn that was nearly falling down and completely refurbished it.

They even have a giant tub where people can sign up to stomp grapes:
Publish PostThe little bar graph on the tub shows sales of Iowa wines. They are clearly growing.

  1. I thought we hit just about everything at the fair, but we missed this! Where was the wine barn located?
