Iowa's winery and craft brewery scene is genuinely worth exploring, and the Des Moines metro is a good anchor for a full-day tour. Summerset Winery (15101 Elk Ave, Indianola, IA 50125) sits about 30 minutes south of West Des Moines and produces award-winning wines with a large tasting room and event space. Tassel Ridge Winery (1681 220th St, Leighton, IA 50143) is a longer haul but worth it for groups that want a full rural Iowa winery experience.
Closer in, Exile Brewing (1514 Walnut St, Des Moines, IA 50309) and Confluence Brewing (1235 Thomas Beck Rd, Des Moines, IA 50315) anchor any craft beer crawl on the west side of the metro.
