Who’s ready for spring and warmer weather? It’s time to think about a day trip somewhere fun. If you like food and wine, discover these trails.

A to Z Foodie Trail (South Central Iowa)
Want to do a trail with wine AND food? Then the A to Z Foodie Trail is for you! The trail features restaurants, bakeries, breweries and wineries in south Central Iowa in Marion and Mahaska counties. The food trail is a collaborative effort between Travel Iowa, Red Rock Area, Oskaloosa Chamber & Development Group, and the Pella Convention & Visitors Bureau. Pocket-sized maps of the trail are free and can be picked up at any of the featured locations, including Nearwood Winery. The trail is more than just a list of places to go. Each featured retailer is assigned a letter of the alphabet. As you follow the trail around the designated locations, you can find that letter at its unique shop, snap a selfie and post on your favorite social media with the hashtag #AtoZFoodTrail. Nearwood Winery is letter “F” for Frontenac Gris, a grape we use to make wine. Try all the vendors on the trail from A to Z!
