We wanted to create a space to serve outstanding food alongside great cider. All inspired by the seasonal offerings of the food growing around us. Our eatery is located among the apple trees at Wilson’s, offering a one-of-a-kind dining experience in a two-story gable roofed barn.
Our menu is rooted in the ingredients that our farm partners and artisanal friends can provide to us. Or, on a whim as our kitchen staff sees fit.
Through meaningful relationships with local growers and makers, we source the majority of our key ingredients from local and sustainable farms and vendors located within 20 miles of our kitchen. Our dinner and brunch menus showcase ingredients harvested from one of the richest agricultural systems in the world.
Wilson’s Ciderhouse offers a unique, rural dining experience inside a century-old barn. The dining room and balcony patio share expansive views of Wilson's Farm & Orchard, offering a birds-eye view of the orchard throughout the year.
The barn itself was salvaged from a historic family farm, located just East of Iowa City. The structure was torn down and rebuilt board-by-board to construct what now houses our full-service restaurant.
The lower level event venue is also constructed from repurposed materials collected over the years from several area farms.
Our dining room can accommodate groups of up to 100 people. You may also request to reserve our patio which can accommodate groups of up to 60.
Large groups booking upstairs are able to customize their meal, pulling from the restaurant’s ever-changing dinner menu, and make selections from our extensive bar menu, which includes signature cocktails, classic cocktails, cider, beer, wine, and spirits.
