Walker Homestead Farm and Winery

My wife and I recently had our wedding here and it was an incredible experience from start to finish.

The Walker Team is wonderful to plan and execute with, especially their coordinator Kayla. Owners Kristy and Bob Walker are also a delight to work with throughout the entire process.

The venue is beautiful and conveniently located about fifteen minutes from downtown Iowa City. The land that the venue is on is picturesque and their vineyard looks beautiful in the late summer / fall. One of our wedding guests attended a wedding in Tuscany earlier this year and made the comment that this Iowa Farm looks more like a Tuscan vineyard. It’s a special place in the Midwest.

The catering supplies (plates/table settings/servers etc) that the venue had on sight were unique and fit our wedding’s aesthetic perfectly. The natural beauty of the venue and set up provided made planning our wedding incredibly easy and smooth. Minimal decision making required.

The day itself was hiccup free from a venue perspective and our guests were all pleased with everything the space had to offer, from the food to the drinks, to the animals and dance floor.

Thank you Walker Family! We had a perfect day at your home!

We attended a wedding here and it was lovely. They venue was great, and the kids went to feed the farm animals and play some games in the yard while the wedding party took pictures. The staff prepared the dinner, which was some of the best pizza I've had. The only downside was that the wine was not very good at all. The special drinks and beer were first class.

Had an amazing time doing the Garden Bites Tour last week. It was great to learn about their organic gardening practice, sample all the wines, and have a 4 course vegetarian tasting menu. It was well worth the price!

We drove here for dinner reservations on a Thursday night in November and had an amazing time. At the time of our visit, I believe they’re only opening to the public on Thursday nights for general dinner reservations. They change the menu each week, and it’s so fun and different. Their wood fired pizzas are creative and unique.

The food during our visit was phenomenal. As an appetizer, we ordered a hummus dish with pickled vegetables. Then, we enjoyed two pizzas: a pepperoni with spicy honey, and a mushroom with truffle oil, lemon, and chives. We also ordered dessert, which featured chocolate, raspberry, and cinnamon. Every single thing was so delicious. We had wine with dinner and love the Walker White and Walker Red.

Everyone was so friendly, and we will definitely be returning! I highly recommend.

Attended my family friend's wedding here. Great venue, delicious food, welcoming atmosphere, and great staff. Highly recommend to family and friends.
