Discovering the wine region of Iowa

Iowa is a Midwestern state bordered by the Mississippi and Missouri rivers. The continental Climate and unpredictable weather here - as in many Midwestern states - make viticulture extremely challenging, but Iowa's ever-growing wine industry is finding its feet throughout the state. HybridGrape varieties specifically designed for cold climates make up the majority of plantings, with the best wines coming from Marechal Foch, Frontenac and La Crescent. Iowa covers 146,000 square kilometers, between latitudes 40 and 43°N.

Iowa is on par with other states in the European Union. This puts Iowa on the same level as the South of France, although the Terroir is very different. While the vineyards of Provence are influenced by the proximity of the Mediterranean Sea, Iowa has a strongly continental climate, with hot, humid summers and Harsh winters. This presents a challenge for the state's winemakers, which they overcome by using native grape varieties and seeking out more temperate mesoclimates.
