Ankeny Vineyard was started in 1980 by owner Joe Olexa and has evolved into 35 acres of Pinot Noir, Pinot Gris, and Marechal Foch grapes that overlook the Ankeny National Wildlife Refuge. The vineyards location on the southernmost slopes of the Salem Hills makes for early ripening, uniquely flavored grapes while small hand-crafted batches have earned Ankeny an extensive list of awards and accolades.

The winery is open Friday through Sunday for tastings and features a food menu with pizza, salads and desserts. A Wine Club membership allows you deep bottle discounts along with complimentary tastings and admission to the vineyards special events.
