Barrel Head Winery We produce estate-bottled wine grown right here in Dubuque. Feel free to visit us throughout the year

For us, great wine comes from grapes grown in the rich Iowa soil. We’re known for dry reds that fill drinkers with the warmth of the Midwestern sun. And our sparkling whites are fermented a second time in the bottle to ensure your glass is filled with tiny, effervescent bubbles. Our wines are also estate-bottled, which means we control the entire process starting from planting and ending with corking. We’ll help you pick out something that fits your palate, pairs with a meal, and we'll show you around our vineyard too. Even though our wines are internationally recognized, they’re grown right here in Dubuque, and honestly, we wouldn’t have it any other way.

A huge thank you to Heather Cunard "Gypsy" for closing out our outdoor live music season today in the best way possible! It was wonderful meeting so many new faces, sharing great w**e, and soaking in fantastic live music together.

​Thank you all for your patience as we poured w**e flights nonstop—we have never poured that many in a single day! (So... who's volunteering to help with dishes? 🤣)

​We’re endlessly proud of our w**es, but today was a reminder that it’s about so much more than what’s in the glass. It’s about the experience, savoring the moment, and sharing it with the Barrel Head family. As a wise couple once said: Come as strangers, leave as friends. 😍

​Welcome to Barrel Head—home of great w**e, genuine community, and unforgettable memories.
​Thank you for making today so special. We’re officially heading to bed! 🍷💤

If anyone has any pictures from today, we would love to see them. We were too busy to get any photos from today 😕

We could use some help tomorrow 9/30 in the morning. We have another load of grapes that need to be scooped out of a tote and emptied into the destemmer. A few hours would be amazing!

We are looking at starting around 9am... weather pending.

When rain delays our harvest, Jodie goes on the hunt! We recently tracked down some absolutely incredible, juicy Chardonnay grapes from a region famous for producing stunning whites. To beat the sky-high freight costs, Aaron hit the road to haul them back himself.

While it’s easier to use pre-pressed juices or concentrates, we are relentlessly committed to using whole, fresh grapes. Working with the actual fruit gives us the hands-on control needed to shape the true flavor, honor the varietal, and craft the best possible w**e.

Cheers to more Chardonnay and the next batch of our sparkling Celestial Gem!

🍾🥂. We are making progress on more sparkling w**es! 🤓. This one is the Edelweiss made into a sparkling; formerly called De’ja Vue.

This will be released a few weeks after Lady “A” sparkling. I.e. the Pink Bubbles!

We’re gearing up for the holiday season. Grab yours while you can when they get released! 😍💕
