Walker Homestead Farm & Winery

Set among the rolling countryside just outside Iowa City, Walker Homestead Farm & Winery offers a farm setting for weddings, private celebrations and selected business gatherings. The working farm's open landscape, vineyard, gardens and views give events a relaxed rural character, with indoor and outdoor areas available across the seasons.

The main venue includes around 3,000 square feet of indoor space, an open kitchen and wood-fired oven. A covered outdoor pavilion of approximately 2,400 square feet, lawns and farm grounds provide room for ceremonies, receptions, dining and time outside. The venue can host seated gatherings of up to 240 guests, making it suitable for both smaller occasions and larger celebrations. Weddings are a featured offering, alongside private parties and gatherings.

Food and beverage service is provided in-house. Menus are prepared around seasonal ingredients and can be planned for the occasion, with options ranging from barbecues and buffets to multi-course, family-style dinners. The farm-to-table approach, wood-fired cooking and wine made on site help shape the dining experience, while the venue team can discuss event requirements and menus with organisers.

For organisations looking for a quieter setting, the tasting room is also offered for weekday leadership retreats, corporate meetings, workshops and planning sessions. The combination of indoor facilities and outdoor surroundings makes it possible to balance structured work with breaks in the countryside. Walker Homestead is therefore a distinctive Iowa City area choice for organisers seeking a farm venue with event space and food service in one location.
