The Under-The-Radar Destination In Iowa With The Most Beautiful Fall Foliage In The State

Ah, fall foliage season in Iowa. We all love it, and there are so many great places to see the leaves changing - from parks, to hikes, to lakesides. But what about those of us who aren't in the mood for an outdoor adventure? They're covered too - there's an amazing Iowa winery with a view where you can watch the leaves change in one of the state's most bucolic towns, all while enjoying a wine tasting and some snacks. This is Eagles Landing Winery, a remote winery located in the small Mississippi River town of McGregor. This town of around 723 people is known for having some of the state's most amazing fall foliage - and this open-air Iowa winery with a view is the perfect place to see it. If you visit more than once, you'll enjoy different views as the leaves change!

The rolling fall colors of McGregor are calling, and you don't need to go far to see them.

Just walk into Eagles Landing Winery, a rustic small-town winery selling small-batch wines from grapes picked from its own vineyard.

Inside, you'll find a small tasting menu and a shop. It looks a little bare-bones - but the highlight isn't inside.

The large, open-air tasting menu under a roof outside is the perfect place to enjoy wine on a fine fall day.

Sip the latest vintages, enjoy some snacks like cheese and sausage, and take in the along from the surrounding hills.

Now that you know your favorite vintage, make sure to get a bottle to take home and enjoy under the fall foliage closer to home!
