Getting Around

The Visitor's Center is a great place to learn about all the places to visit and activities going on in the Colonies. Feel free to stop in and pick up some additional information about the area here. If Eric and I aren't around this is a great place to ask questions!

Parks & Nature

You can walk the trail from Amana over to the Lily Pond for a picnic or drive over on the way to the other Villages. It is a peaceful place where you can relax, watch the ducks on the water and enjoy the beauty of Iowa.

Hands down my favorite wines in Amana and the staff is always friendly and helpful! If you can get it the Cranberry Bog is delicious! If you prefer a dryer wine try the Knight's Red, it is a favorite too!

Traditional Amana wines at their best! Try the Lover's Blend for a sweet but balanced wine or the Rhubarb for a nice, tart refreshing taste.

Fireside has some wonderful Iowa wines. Not your traditional Amana style but great all the same. It's a bit of a drive to the winery itself, but you can try & buy their wines in Amana at the Heritage Winery & Cheese Haus. Matchbox is our favorite red, Firefly for white and if you can get your hands on any of the seasonal wines they are a treat, especially the Sunset Peach!
