I wasn't expecting much because most smaller kitchen supply stores don't impress me. I have high standards and prefer well-made high quality products. Well, you can imagine how surprised I was to find this unicorn of a store. I felt like I just walked through a door into wonderland. I thought I owned every kitchen gadget that was worth owning, but I was wrong. I found the cutest baker's dusting wand by OXO and a cool round trivet made of strung-together felted wool balls. They had some of my favorite brands like GIR, Staub, Microplane, Nordic Ware and Opinel. They also had a cool selection of aprons, mugs, spices, oils and vinegars. I was in heaven as I walked through the store. There was so much to look at. They have a well-curated selection of items that I would want to carry if I had my own kitchen supply store. I would much rather support a great locally owned store than a big chain like Williams Sonoma (that doesn't even really carry what I want). Iowa City is so lucky to have a store as wonderful as this. Every time I visit this city I have a few favorite stores that I must visit and I'm so happy to add this one to my list.

Walker Homestead is truly something special…read more We recently hosted an evening there as part of a corporate dinner, and the entire experience exceeded every expectation. From the moment we arrived, the hospitality was warm, thoughtful, and incredibly well organized. Kristy, Bob, and the entire team made us feel genuinely welcomed and took such wonderful care of our group. The setting is absolutely stunning. What they have created is remarkable. The beautiful grounds, relaxed atmosphere, locally sourced farm-to-table meal, and attention to every detail made the evening unforgettable. Our attendees loved everything, from exploring the property and visiting the animals to enjoying dinner and participating in our murder mystery event. Planning an event for a large group can be stressful, but the Walker Homestead team made the process easy and enjoyable. They were responsive, flexible, accommodating, and committed to making sure everything went smoothly. The food was outstanding, the service was excellent, and the entire evening felt personal and special rather than simply being another hosted event. Our group is still talking about how much they enjoyed the experience. Walker Homestead was one of the highlights of our meeting, and I cannot recommend it highly enough for a private event, celebration, dinner, or simply an opportunity to experience this beautiful place. I sincerely hope we have the opportunity to return soon. Thank you to everyone at Walker Homestead for your extraordinary hospitality and for giving our group such a memorable evening!

The ceremony took place on a covered large patio, in front of a wood burning fireplace that added to the ambiance. The reception was filled with an incredible countertop full of delectable charcuterie artfully arranged and just as delicious tasting as it was beautiful. They did such a wonderful job serving all the guests appetizers, drinks at the bar, and a multi course dinner, as well as the wedding cake. The brisket was so tender, it fell apart as soon as you put it on your plate. There was ample parking within the beautiful vineyard. I can't think of one thing that could have been better. The food was perfect, the atmosphere was romantic, and the venue just could not have been more special.

I believe the menu mentioned that Fridays and Saturdays were music nights. What's really cool is that they have so much variety of wine lining the walls. Each wine organized by features (ex: Bold, Smooth, Sweet). Underneath the features are a list of the recommended wines. My family and I shared the sweet and salty dish, which included pieces of chocolate, salted caramel chocolate balls, almonds. This was the perfect pairing to the wines and helped bring out their complexity. I had the Sweet Bitch Moscoto, which was sweet (not overly sweet), fruity, and slightly sparking. It was so good! Each bottle of wine is about $20-32 and each glass is about $9-12. I highly recommend! this place and I can not wait to come back!

They've got a solid number of both whites and reds, as well as a delightful port that's a great ending to any evening. The red's largely have a medeival theme (Knight's red, Monk's red and Stormy Knight) that we assume has something to do with the cellar story, but whatever the reason, Knight's are cool, the wine is good, 'nuf said! Whites weres solid with our favorite being the Oktoberfest - a sweet white that's available, you guessed it, in October and until they run out! We've been very impressed with the folks that work here. They know the wine well, love to help you sample the libations and make some great food recs to go with the wines! Another fun thing that we're excited to try are the dinner's the have throughout the year. They pair wines with a local establishment and serve up a delicious evening. They've also become active with many of festivals that occur in Amana throughout the year making it always a good time to drop by. Our favorite wines have been the Monk's red - fuller red that's really smooth, the Knight's red - little dryer with a big of kick - good with steak!, Cranberry Bog was different and a good lighter wine and we really like the the Stormy knight as a way to end an evening - it's a delicious heavy port that's basically dessert in a bottle. Great spot with some really good wines! Better selection of "normal" wines that many of the other Amana shops (though you won't find any dandelion wine here) and certainly worth stopping in for. They'll treat you right and likely introduce you to a wine you didn't know you loved - now back ot the Monk's red!
