he food of the Amana Colonies is legendary. Hearty and delicious German and American meals are served family-style, as they were in the days of the Colonies' communal kitchens. Alternative menus - pasta, seafood and lighter fares - are also available. Excellent dining in unique, romantic settings.

Our many wineries and award-winning micro-brewery are favorites with our visitors, offering delicious fruit wines and German-style beer. Our meat shops are known for delicious smoked hams, bacon, and sausages made from age-old recipes and our bakeries offer a mouth-watering array of breads and pastries.
