Country Moon Winery

With a view of the vineyard, you can enjoy free samples of wine paired with tasty tidbits under the canopy. Outdoor seating is available and wine is sold chilled by the glass or bottle.Growing grapes in the middle of corn and soybean country may sound a little crazy. Bone-chilling winters, late spring frosts, and wet summers are all unfavorable to grapevines – at least the kind that come from Europe. But there are many species of grapes that are native to this continent and therefore more tempered to our climates. Grown in their native form or crossed with the vinifera species, many grape varieties and hybrids exist today that are not only hardy but very suited to winemaking. Scientists are starting to think that cool and humid climates may even stimulate production of the grape’s micronutrients most beneficial to humans.
