The Floating Winery In Iowa That Features Magnificent Waterfront Views

There's just something about water views that makes a good drink taste even better, which is why I always love to find a great winery or brewery with a waterfront view. Well, there's one spot in Iowa that does that one better - it's an actual floating lounge, located on a pier in the middle of a small lake in Corning. This unique waterfront winery in Iowa is called The Floating Vine. A replacement for the old Corning Winery, it's quickly become a hot spot in this small town since its 2023 opening. There's a truly impressive selection of wine and spirits here, plus a surprisingly extensive food menu. It just might be the best place to spend a summer evening in Iowa, so read on to discover why this will be your next favorite spot!

The Floating Vine was put together in winter 2023, and it's now the premiere cocktail lounge in the Corning area.

The selection of wine, spirits, and beer here is truly impressive - and you can see it all from the bar.

In addition to all the classic cocktails, as well as straight wine and spirits you can sample here, the bartenders are always whipping up new and seasonal specialties. The prices are right too.

A night of drinking isn't complete without some great bar food, and The Floating Vine doesn't disappoint. Start with the $5 wings!

Pizzas and sandwiches are always crowd pleasers, and the pizza is great for sharing.

If there's a signature item here, though, it's definitely the smoked meat sandwiches! Keep an eye out for unexpected varieties, like lamb.

When the sun goes down, the lake comes alive at Corning's newest and best hotspot.
