CEDAR RIDGE WINERY DISTILLERY

Cedar Ridge Winery Distillery is a winery located in Swisher, Iowa. The company employs 229 people and generates an annual revenue of $4 million. Cedar Ridge Winery Distillery produces a variety of whiskeys, including its flagship Iowa corn Bourbon Whiskey, made from corn grown on their own farm. They also offer tours and tastings, as well as dining options featuring brick-oven wood-fired pizzas, local vegetables, cheeses, and charcuterie. The distillery is known for its distinct whiskeys, which are characterized by a clean and subtle taste profile. This is achieved through a fermentation process that separates the fresh wort from the grain immediately after mashing and a double-distillation process that reaches a higher proof than typical methods. This results in a purer, more approachable whiskey. Visitors can enjoy tours and tastings of the distillery and its products, along with dining options, live music, and various events throughout the year. The tasting room and gift shop are open year-round, with free tours offered on Saturdays and Sundays.
