Not very friendly and the wine is very sweet. They don't have tastings. It was about 3mls of liquid in a very small cup (smaller than a medicine cup)
Fantastic selection of wines, many of which have won tons of awards. A must stop in the colonies!
Tasted and purchased 4 bottles of wine and a few gifts. Friendly help.
Good wine selection and gift selection
Friendly, informative and helpful staff. Wines are delicious! Highly recommended!
Many wine choices! Mostly sweet wine varieties. Taste test before buying to find your favorite.
Its was cool to see the older buildings and wine tastes were good
They have Kombucha. My wife felt that the lady behind the counter was fairly rude, however.
Stingy with samples wine is good if you like super sweet!
Best Dry Cranberry I can find anywhere, It's a great brunch wine, friendly staff also.
Very touristy! Worth the stop though. Beautiful shops. Love the wines. Unusual wines and food.
Ackerman winery sits on the right side of the street about a block into the main drag of the Amana colonies and it has become a place we stop every time we're in town.
The wine they sell here is similar to that sold elsewhere in the town, but the one-up they have here is the Winery tour! It's not a huge tour, but you can walk to the back of the place and watch where the magic happens! They have won over 400 awards for their wines including 100 golds - I'm not completely sure what it means, but it seems like a good thing and I'd give some of their stuff gold medals if I was in such a position!
They have a 20+ varieties of wines there ranging from rhubarb to dandelion to red raspberry as well as more traditional varieties like merlot and chardonnay. The prices are excellent for what you're getting - average 750 ml bottle price is less than $10, and 375 ml bottles are $6.95. They give discounts for 3, 6 and 12 bottle purchases and you often get a free wine class with a 12 bottle purchase!
For those not interested in wine, but rather the accessories, they have plenty of glasses, wine racks, and wine trinkets!
A great spot to kill some time and always a crowd favorite as they give out free samples of any wines they carry. Many of the wines they have are really sweet so even if you're usually not a wine fan, you'll probably find something you like here.
The staff is always very helpful and friendly as well. Worth stopping by to check out be it a quick drive up or an afternoon where you stop at every shop!
