Location & Accomodations

Wedding Location

Rapid Creek Cidery 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 downstairs event venue is also constructed from repurposed materials collected over the years from several area farms.
