Cedar Falls is well known as an exciting trail destination. Breweries, locally-owned restaurants, unique boutiques, and overnight accommodations are only a “hop” and a skip from trails in the Cedar Falls Downtown District, southern Cedar Falls, the area of College Square Mall and the University of Northern Iowa. Let’s add a beer trail to your adventure! Unique to Cedar Falls is the abundance of breweries and taprooms. Our Beer Trail Passport provides a map and inspiration for exploring six of our local craft breweries and taprooms in Cedar Falls and two breweries in Waterloo. Click HERE for a suggested bike route and car route. Bike or drive responsibly to each destination on the trail and be sure to stop and dine like a local and explore local, chef-inspired cuisine at award-winning restaurants.

The 6 Western Iowa Wine Trail wineries are producing award-winning wines from “cold climate” grape varieties and locally produced fruits. The winemakers are always ready to visit about their unique wines and love to show off their wineries and vineyards. You’ll find that the wine and hospitality at our small wineries is excellent! Seven wineries currently dot the wine trail stretching from Elk Horn to Thurman and back to Crescent. All of the wineries along the trail offer free tasting (often poured by the winemakers themselves), local art works, and retail wine sales. Many offer sales of wine by the glass and food items to be enjoyed on their decks or in their tasting rooms.
