Jasper Winery - Des Moines, IA

 

 

 

Welcome! Located just minutes from downtown Des Moines, Jasper Winery is an "estate style" winery facility in the heard of the metro area. We specialize in premium quality wines using grapes sourced from vineyards throughout central Iowa. We are open seven days a week fro tasting and offer tours of the winery and onsite vineyards.

 

 







The winery first operated in a renovated warehouse building near downtown Newton. This was a perfect location for the small winery, and a tasting room was added to allow visitors to come and sample the wines. Over the next several years, the winery grew and began to gain a reputation of producing excellent quality wines. They were fortunate to receive positive reviews in such publications as The New York Times and Wine Spectator.

In 2007, it became apparent that the winery operation had outgrown it's Newton location and needed to expand into a larger building. The Groben family was intrigued by the recent resurgence in downtown Des Moines. Therefore, they located a property near Grays Lake and began construction on the new winery building in fall 2007. The Des Moines winery opened summer of 2008
