Mattes Joe

Mattes Joe is a winery and beer, wine, and spirits provider located in Amana, Iowa, right in the heart of the historic Amana Colonies. The colonies are a major draw for Iowa tourism, attracting visitors from across the Midwest who come for the food, crafts, and drink traditions that trace back to the 1800s. Having a wine and spirits operation here means tapping into a built-in audience of curious, experience-driven visitors. Call (319) 622-3081 to find out what's available and when the tasting room is open.

Mattes Joe offers wine and spirits sales with a likely focus on locally produced and regionally sourced beverages that fit the Amana Colonies tradition. Tasting sessions allow guests to explore different wine styles and spirits options, often with staff who can explain production methods and pairing suggestions. Bottle purchases are available for guests looking to bring a piece of Amana home, and gift options may include curated wine selections for visitors who want something locally meaningful. The beer, wine, and spirits category suggests a broader selection than a single-focus winery, giving guests more variety in a single stop.

Mattes Joe serves visitors to the Amana Colonies from across Iowa and neighboring states. Cedar Rapids is about 25 miles north, and Iowa City is roughly 30 miles to the southeast, making Amana an easy day trip from either city. The winery also benefits from the steady flow of interstate travelers who exit I-80 specifically to explore the colonies.
