  Considering that Iowa is not well-known as a wine producer, you might be surprised to learn there are over 75 vineyards and wineries in the state. Visitors can enjoy local wine tastings and vineyard tours where they can purchase a variety of Iowa wines. Local and federal laws prevent their purchase and shipping online. While only a handful of states are eligible to purchase bottles out-of-state, a visitor has several other options if she is looking for an Iowa wine themed gift.
  
  

Iowa Wine

• While many Iowa wineries are unable to ship their wines due to current legal restrictions, connoisseurs in several states may order Iowa wines online. Consumers can check with individual wineries for delivery availability or use websites such as VinoShipper.com to determine which Iowa wines can be shipped to them. Residents and visitors to the state can purchase local wines at wine tasting events, on vineyard tours and in the liquor departments of many area grocery stores.
