    The event setup before it started.
    Patti M.

    I attended the Jasper Winery wine and Cider fest because I had a number of friends that were going to be there. I had a great time but I am giving this a 3 star sole because the value for my money was not there. With the Event Brite fees it was $55. Sure, we could have unlimited samples of wine and cider over the course of three hours, but all those samples wear to entice people to make additional purchases. Music, tours, cheese samples and tasting glass were included in the price. Anyway, I had a lovely time with friends I just can't get past spending so much to attend.

    Edelweiss wine was fabulous!

    I tried almost all the wines (dry to sweet) and they were all good. The atmosphere is great- indoor and outdoor options with fireplaces in both which would be fabulous in cooler weather. I only took 1 star off because I go to wineries for both the wine and the EXPERIENCE and the person helping me acted like I was kind of an inconvenience. Didn't talk with me at all about the history of the winery or wines. But the person helping the couple next to me was very engaging with them so I did get to hear all of it by ear hustling. I ended up getting a glass of Edelweiss and sitting on the patio. This is my first time encountering this wine/grape and I am in LOVE!!! Highly recommend going if you are in Iowa.

    Life is getting back to a normal when you can sip wine outside on a 90 degree day at the winery. I was here for a bachlorette party. They purchased a combo 5 bottles with chocolate and cheese trays. The chocolate had to be eaten quickly so not to melt. "Darn" The group got to pick the bottles that were served in a bucket of ice. The staff was very friendly and helpful. The sun was a killer so they helped us move our table into the shade of one of their trees. All around great experience and I enjoyed the wines.

    Jasper holds Thursday summer concert series. What a fun night. You bring your own chairs and snacks if you want. They do have food trucks and grilled brats on site. They sell adult beverages as well. Many bicycle riders stop by on their rides for this event. Parking is available in their lot as well the street.

    Very friendly tasting with a variety of wines. They have a great selection of types of wine drinks including canned wines and barrel aged wines. We got a some to bring home, but enjoyed a bottle of Seyval Blanc out on their patio with a cheese and sausage board. Wedding pictures were being taken on the beautiful grounds. Great place to visit!

    Need an afternoon activity? Cheese and crackers with a bottle. Done.

    Disclaimer - I am not a connoisseur of wines. I like Welch's grape juice and gummy bears, among other unsophisticated foodstuffs. That said, Jasper winery has options to satisfy every palate. The tastings are relaxed and fun. My suggestion for a great afternoon with friends - sample their stuff in a tasting, buy a bottle of your favorite, order a cheeseboard and go find a cozy seat by the fireplace and share some time together. The cheese was cubed, nothing fancy. If you come in with the right expectations this place can offer a really good, relaxed experience.

    Chronologically speaking... Upon arrival to Jasper Winery you can't help but notice how modern and fresh the building is. Surrounded by a small patch of vines and just a few steps from Grey's Lake, Jasper Winery is a very ideal location for hosting events. The winery was slightly busy when we entered with 4 or 5 folks standing at the tasting bar grabbing a glass or taste. Our game plan was to try our the complimentary tasting, choose our favorite, purchase a bottle and hang out for a while. Our tasting plans kicked off on an ubbbbeerrr slow start. We were told we would be helped shortly, unfortunately, "shortly" ended up being close to a half an hour later. Literally 10 other transactions strolled up to the counter wanting to taste, buy a glass and were served while we stood there. I'm typically patient when it comes to this sort of thing but the blatant out-of-order approach made it a frustrating start to our visit. Fortunately, after the tasting kicked off and the juices were flowing our visit started to turn up. Tasting flights are pre-set and you can choose to either go dry or sweet (6 tastings on each). If you're craving cheese to round out the experience, note that they have several Iowa cheeses on hand. *Had it not been for the delayed, less-than-hot start, I would easily give this business a 4+ rating.

    Wine & chocolate pairing (sadly didnt get any chocolate, not vegan!)
    Emily S.

    Came in for a bachelorette party to do a wine tasting. We were set up with the chocolate and wine pairings. They had a cute little set up with trays that had a piece of different chocolate for a tasting of wine. Unfortunately not even the dark chocolate was vegan so I did not get to try any and didnt get the full effect of the pairings. I liked most of the wine and the employees were very nice to check the ingredients of the chocolate for me. It was also a lot less expensive than I imagined. It was a nice hour for $15. The room was kind of bland and big but it seemed like you could bring in your own decorations if you wanted to. Ive heard good things about events here so hoping to come back for one in the future.

    We had a wonderful time at Jasper Winery, I would 10/10 recommend for anyone traveling, visiting or living near Des Moines. First of all, they have free wine tastings which was definitely equivalent to a glass of wine. I'm not a wine expert but their wines were pretty tasty. Of the 5 semi-sweet to sweet wines, there was only one I didn't care for, but still not bad. Did I mention the wine tasting is free!? They also have games available to play and fireplaces to keep you warm. The woman who provided our wine tasting was very friendly.

    Jessica C.

    Good wine and very helpful girl up front! She knew a lot about the different flavors in the wines and was awesome helping us decide which wines were for us. Wish the weather was nicer but still nice area outside to sit and enjoy a bottle or two

    I'm a fan of their Behind the Shed Red!
    Jordan M.

    I really enjoy this place. Great in the summer for outside seating, close to the bike trails, special music at times. Nice fireplace for winter visits. Always a pleasant staff. Wines are good. I like the Norton & Chancellor, while the Lucy Lane & Edelweiss are more affordable $10 & nice as well. Free Tastings, or get it by the bottle or glass. Cheese plates too! Little bummed they have a $5 corkage fee now.

We started with a Spiced Watermelon Paloma (see picture) and Summer Berry Spritzy Sangria (see picture) - both of which were very tasty and quite refreshing. For our meals, my wife ordered the Cooper's Hawk Chicken Giardiniera (see picture) and I opted for the Blackened Mahi Sandwich (see picture). We both enjoyed our meals as well as the samples that we shared with each other - so would definitely order them again and recommend them. While I was disappointed with our first visit and find the lighting quite poor inside the restaurant in the evenings, the food, drink and atmosphere are consistently very good.

I told…read moreher I was from out of town as my son & I are here visiting William Penn college and that I would love to be better acquainted with their wines. She explained that some grapes are grown here in Iowa and the rest is brought in from elsewhere. They have a large selection of wine and a tasting allowed me to sample 5 along with a loaf of bread, cheese and dipping oil for $16. Of course I went with it! She was able to pour 3 whites (my preference) and 2 reds and brought an amazing display of cheese, oil and bread which was beyond tasty! The cheese is from a local spot down the road called Frisian farms and it was very good! The bread was warm and delicious also. I thoroughly enjoyed the wine choices and surprisingly my fav was a red called Iowa Pizzeria & pasta too. Maybe it's due to enjoying it with the warm bread and cheese. Who knows!?! This place is truly a gem, anyone visiting should check it out!

We had to pay for two days so we could decorate it a two hours the night before. Plus they wouldn't let us bring any type of drink while we were decorating the night before.

During the wedding reception, he has his long black haired dog, walking around everyone while we have white tablecloths and decorations up. While the nieces were playing with the dog and chasing it he told them to leave the dog and not to chase it. I'm sorry, but we payed $3500 a day to celebrate and not put up with the dog or this man's action. If I could give less than one star I would. DON'T USE THIS PLACE!!

She wanted an outdoor wedding & Annelise Winery was one of a few places that had a place to have the ceremony inside if the weather was bad. Before going to the winery my daughter emailed the owner & told him that she would like the ceremony there & he gave her some prices. When we got there he didn't remember the email conversation with my daughter. Then the owner proceeded to say that we couldn't have the wedding ceremony there without having the reception there also. He then had a 10 minute conversation with himself while we stood there watching. At the end of " his" conversation he decided it would be "Ok". Note: none of this was written down while we were talking. Through the year engagement they went there 2 to 3 times & each time he didn't remember them or the specifics of their contract. He badgered them each time about them having their reception there. One month before the wedding we went there because the owner hadn't contacted them about chairs, how they wanted them set up & other specific details about the ceremony. When we arrived he made the comment "it's a good thing you guys came because I wouldn't have known how to set up the chairs". He also rented out the changing rooms that we needed for the wedding party to get ready to some one else for their graduation party. Then the day of the wedding when we got there, he said that the graduation party was over & we could use the changing rooms after all. We had gone & bought a bunch of dividers & other items to use so the girls could change & had to transport them down there - all for nothing. He yelled at people for bringing water bottles in because he sold them, but he never told us that before. He never offered help but was always there to yell at us if we did something wrong. Bottom line - the owner is an a**hole, doesn't communicate & is NOT a business man!!!!
