Reviews for Tassel Ridge Winery in Leighton, IA
Forty some wines but you can't try any of them unless you buy a $15 flight where you get 5 one ounce samples. Rip off.

Question: What is the best wine? Answer: The one you like. I have not aways been a fan of Iowa wines. Some that I have had are... indeed made from grapes but all too often had a medicinal after taste. So at Tassel Ridge (Leighton, Iowa) I went for the winefamily I like most: the dry, deep reds. I tried three: the American Merlot, Robert Duncan, and the Iowa Marquette, and I have tosay that I would drink them again...and again. All three had very pleasant bouquets and a good finish. Finally, Iowa wines thatdid not taste a little like cough medicine. I bought two bottles. But our trip to Tassel Ridge was more than just finding andtrying wines. We also enjoyed a Bistro lunch (soup, salad, sandwich). Again like the wine, very satisfying. These lunches areserved M-F and on select Saturdays and Sundays. On other dates, Tassel Ridge hosts wine events. Best to check the website sitefor a full listing. The winery is quite large with both indoor and outdoor seating. It is clean, tastefully decorated with roomto shop for wine accessories. If you are looking for a cheap Iowa wine experience, don't go. The wines are not cheap. TasselRidge vintners take pride in their work and the prices reflect the quality and craftsmanship of the wines and the vintners. Read more
The owners/staff were patient and knowledgeable. They offer recommendations if you ask but, otherwise, they let you taste and... decide on your own. Wood-fired pizza is delicious. Read more
Awesome experience!!! Wish I could give more than 5 stars. Pizza and wines are wonderful. Service A+. Definitely need to buy... more bottles at Hy-Vee (I live in Cedar Rapids). Definitely want to come back. One of the best Iowa wineries. Read more
My experience at Tassel Ridge was great. The people were friendly and the wine tasted great. You can't beat free wine tasting.... Where I am from you have to pay to taste wines at different wineries. Wine prices were decently priced and the overallexperience was excellent. The bad part about this winery is after purchasing a few different bottles of wine that we enjoyed, afew days later we opened them and they did not taste the same as the ones that were sampled at the winery. All the people I hadwent with agreed with this as well. Read more
Great experience, wide selection of home grown varieties, friendly and very helpful. If just drive by you're missing out.
