Cedar Ridge Winery & Distillery

Exchange vows overlooking rolling Johnson County vines before celebrating with estate-distilled spirits and wines in a light-filled timber lodge.

Nestled in the rolling countryside between Cedar Rapids and Iowa City, this estate brings together lush viticulture and grain-to-glass craft distilling. Couples hold open-air ceremonies framed by sprawling grapevines before leading guests to expansive outdoor terraces for cocktail hour. Receptions transition into the rustic timber-beamed event pavilion, where towering windows reveal panoramic sunset vistas across the grounds. With signature whiskeys and estate wines poured directly from the source, celebrations carry an authentic Midwestern warmth.
