Reviews for Ackerman Winery in Amana, IA
Great atmosphere, great wine, and the owners are very hospitable and make you feel like you're visiting old friends.
Nice winery. Haven't been since covid but we used to come yearly and buy a case. They don't have our favorite blend anymore. Now... they charge for tastes. Not super friendly like it used to be. Still a nice selection and some good wines. This time we onlyleft with 3 bottles tho verse 12 to 24 bottles....yes several times we bought 24 bottles lol. Used to be our favorite Read more
Excellent service, excellent grounds, and some seriously good wine. Not pushy, very relaxed, super friendly staff. They have... very reasonable prices for bottles, single glasses are a bit expensive so you better just buy the bottle. They wrap it up soyou're road legal if you don't finish it. Read more
I like their wines more than the winery. We did a wine testing but had to sit outside in the patio probably due to Covid. It was... a small patio setting with not much to see or enjoy. However, they may have a better set up inside. At least we love the wines.The employees were very friendly! The wine tasting comes with a free souvenir wine glass. I bought a peach and mango after thetasting. Unfortunately they were running out of my favorite dandelion. Read more
If you're a wine drinker, you'll enjoy the wonderful selection they have here. Over the years, I'm sure I've sampled every kind... they have available and bought my fair share!! Wonderful selection, great and helpful folks working there and tasty wine! Everything I need to enjoy my afternoon (and future afternoons)!! Read more
I'm not much of a wine person, but my sister is and she really liked the wines here. You get 6 complimentary tastings and they... specialize in fruit wines. My sister loved the rhubarb (she bought 2 bottles) and thought the mead was pretty good. She also gotone of each of their grape wines. We were sad the pomegranate wine was sold out, since we both wanted to try it. The rest ofthe store was interesting, with lots of quirky cups, shirts, magnets, coasters, napkins, signs, and more. My sister wasespecially delighted to find a pharmacy related one (she's a pharmacist). It came as a shirt, coaster, and napkin but we wouldhave preferred a magnet. An excellent place to visit if you're in the Amana Colonies. Read more
Very touristy! Worth the stop though. Beautiful shops. Love the wines. Unusual wines and food.
The rhubarb wine tastes like sugar, peanut butter, and old basement.
