Saturday Morning Iowa Distilling Company Iowa Distilling Company serves award winning Bourbon, cinnamon-flavored whiskey and more in their cocktail lounge. Their century-old brick building is just off the Great Western Bike Trail in Cumming, and the lounge boasts views of the distillery equipment in action. Handcrafted cocktails, live music and various events available. Check their ongoing schedule for details.
Saturday Night Head to downtown Indianola for a mini bar-crawl of Warren County’s 2 newest beer-makers: West Hill Brewing Company brews local at 219 West Salem and Into Brewing serves up their beer at the Zoo Bar on 102 West Ashland Avenue.
Saturday Afternoon Wilson's Farm & Ciderhouse Spend the afternoon sipping wine in the tasting room or on the deck at Annelise Winery, just outside of Indianola. This family owned winery and vineyard makes more than a dozen wines from grapes grown on site and at nearby vineyards.
Sunday Morning You might almost feel like you’re headed to church when you plug the name “Two Saints Winery” in your GPS on a Sunday morning. ;) At Two Saints you can have a taste of completely local wines, made using only grapes grow in Warren County. Enjoy the view of the 10-acre vineyard and surrounding woods from the deck.
Sunday Lunch Locals rave about The Social Station for good eats, and lucky for you, you’ll drive right by it on your way up to Summerset Winery, on Highway 28 in Prole. It’s not every day you find awesome food sharing a building with the local post office, but Prole is just special that way.
Saturday lunch Grab some brews and italian for lunch at Coco & Nini's in downtown Carlisle!
Sunday Afternoon Catch a live concert at Summerset Winery (check the website for the schedule for their Sunday concerts). Their award-winning wine and beautiful setting make Summerset a favorite with locals.
