Because Van Wijk Winery is primarily a dedicated manufacturing and production facility, we rarely rent our space for private external events. We take great pride in the craft happening behind the scenes, and our layout is designed first and foremost for winemaking.

However, we do occasionally host curated public events or semi-private gatherings exclusively for our Wine Club members. These 'vintner-led' experiences allow our community to celebrate alongside us in the heart of our production space. To be notified of our next seasonal event or to gain access to member-only gatherings, we invite you to join our Priority Access List for our upcoming fall launch!

To provide the best experience for all our guests, we ask that you do not bring outside food or beverages to the estate. Instead, we’ve curated a delicious menu of local charcuterie, seasonal flatbreads, and artisan snacks specifically designed to pair with our wines, meads, and no-alcohol beverages from our onsite Bistro. You can view our current menu [here]. If you have specific dietary restrictions, please let our staff know, and we will do our best to accommodate you!

We love that you want to see Van Wijk Winery in your neighborhood! The best way to make it happen is to ask the manager at your local shop or favorite restaurant. Retailers pay close attention to what their customers are asking for. Simply let them know you're looking for Van Wijk Winery from Sully, Iowa, and if they need help finding us, they can contact our distribution team at info@vanwijkwinery.com

Yes! Our Tasting Room gift shop offers everything from branded apparel and professional barware to local gourmet snacks. If you’re a Wine Club member, don't forget that your member discount applies to most merchandise as well! Can't make it in person? Browse our online shop here (add link).

We certainly do! We offer a variety of high-quality items designed to help you bring the Van Wijk Winery lifestyle home. From cozy, branded hoodies and embroidered hats to wine glasses, insulated wine tumblers and corkscrews, our gear is as functional as it is stylish. They make perfect mementos of your visit!

We love getting out into the community! You can frequently find Van Wijk Winery at major regional festivals and local charity galas. It's one of our favorite ways to meet new friends and share our latest vintages.

Not for the 2026 season—we’re staying close to home this year to focus on our upcoming expansion and the launch of our Wine Club this fall. However, we are actively planning our 'Market Tour' for 2028 and we’d love to have local voices representing us!

Our estate tours are a very special occasion at Van Wijk Winery! We open our doors for guided tours exclusively during our Annual Harvest Party each fall. Because this is our busiest and most exciting time of year, tour spots are limited and are offered first to our Wine Club members. If you’d like to join us for this year’s tour, joining our [Interest List] is the best way to secure your spot before they open to the public.

We welcome four-legged visitors with a few guidelines:

• Where: Outdoor patio and vineyard paths only.
• Rules: Must be on a non-retractable leash and well-behaved.
• Indoor Access: Reserved for ADA-certified service animals only.

If she is nearby when you visit, be sure to say hello to our winey mascot Betsy Ross, our Staffordshire Bull Terrier who loves to be cuddled!

We strive to offer a relaxing experience for everyone! While we are an adult-oriented venue, well-behaved children are welcome in our outdoor seating areas and patio during our standard daytime hours. We kindly ask that children remain seated with their party and under adult supervision to ensure a peaceful escape for all our visitors.

To maintain an intimate environment for our guided tastings, our indoor tasting rooms and bars are reserved exclusively for guests aged 21 and over.

Please note that to preserve a sophisticated atmosphere for our evening guests, all events held after 5:00 PM are reserved for ages 18 and over.

Individuals/Couples: While we always do our best to accommodate walk-in guests, reservations are highly recommended but not always required. Contacting us in advance is always greatly appreciated and helps to ensure we are staffed appropriately for your visit.

Groups: Yes, to provide the best service for all our guests, reservations are mandatory for any groups arriving by professional transportation (limos or buses) or parties larger than [6] people. We ask that you book at least [two weeks] in advance so we can prepare a dedicated host for your group.

Shipping costs for wine vary significantly based on the number of bottles and your location. Because wine is heavy and delicate, it is often more economical to "fill a case" to reduce the cost per bottle. Joining our Wine Club is the best way to save on shipping.

Yes, an Adult Signature is Required: By law, an adult (21+) must be present to sign for the delivery.
