Mississippi River Distillery Has The Best Tasting Room In Iowa

With chilly fall and winter weather just around the corner, Iowans are thinking of ways to warm up. Of course, there’s the wholesome hobby of making your own quilts, but some of us aren’t quite talented enough to pick up a new hobby. That’s totally fine, though, and less crafty Iowans can still stay warm by heading to a delightful distillery in the heart of one of the state’s most charming towns.

Mississippi River Distillery is located in the cute little city of Le Claire - and yup, its right on the river.

The distillery started in 2010 as a joint venture between two brothers, and has since grown to become one of the top craft distillers in the country.

So, while their tasting room is a little more well-known than a Prohibition-era speakeasy...

... it's still one of the coolest places you can visit in the Hawkeye State.

Choose from a large variety of year-round spirits and seasonal creations...

... and you'll soon have the cocktail of your dreams.

The fully stocked bar and brilliant, talented bartenders will recommend a creation based on your tastes, or whip up something at your request.

So name your poison, and enjoy a stunning riverside drink while you relax in one of the Midwest's best tasting rooms.

Mississippi River Distillery is located at 303 North Cody Road, LeClaire, IA 52753. Their cocktail room is open Monday through Thursday from 10 a.m. to 10 p.m., Friday & Saturday from 10 a.m. to 12 a.m., and on Sunday from 12 p.m. to 8 p.m.. Daily tours take place on the hour at 12 p.m., 1 p.m, 2 p.m, 3 p.m and 4 p.m.. Join them on the First Friday of every month from 5 p.m. to 10 p.m. for an open house with live music, drink samples, and free food.

After a visit to Mississippi River Distillery and the town of Le Claire, you’ll quickly realize Why This One Tiny Town Is Secretly The Best Place In Iowa.
