Summer Concert Series at Jasper Winery

Near Gray’s Lake Park is Jasper Winery, an estate style facility that sources grapes locally in Iowa.   It all started when avid gardeners, Jean and Paul Groben planted their first vine in 2000.  Since then the business has grown and the new facility was opened in 2008.  In fact, they have built such a reputation for quality, locally produced wine that they have been featured in The New York Times and Wine Spectator.

They offer a full selection of wine tastings daily.  If you prefer to lounge in the cafe over a glass , they offer a selection of cheeses to compliment each wine.  And if you visit on Thursdays, they currently have the Summer Concert Series happening.  It’s a free event so bring your blankets and chairs for an evening of relaxed music, wine and food.   Head South on Interstate 235 for approximately 16 miles and follow the signs.
