The inn, vineyards, & seasonal terrace are nestled in our
secluded valley in rural Rock Island County, and the winery &
tasting room rest on historic U.S. Highway 67 in Mercer County,
just 9 miles from the inn. Both locations are minutes away from
the downtown areas of the Quad Cities, Moline International
Airport, Jumer's Casino, the I-Wireless Center, & other area
attractions.
The Inn
Whether it’s the expansive vineyard view, comfy king-sized beds,
or mouthwatering breakfasts, we offer an escape like no other.
Plan a retreat with friends, a secluded getaway, celebrate your
wedding, anniversary, birthday, or just enjoy a “staycation”
close to home.
Creekside Vineyards Inn
The folks at Creekside love spending time in the vineyard. There
is just something to be said about waking up in the early
morning and walking the vines, tucking shoots, and harvesting.
From planning, to pruning, to training, to harvesting, they
oversee all seasons in the vineyard, and for those who have
tended vines, you know that being a vineyard owner is truly a
labor of love.
For those interested in the specifics of viticulture, Creekside
has trained our vines using a Vertical Shoot Positioning (VSP)
trellis system, a method that allows the vines to achieve
optimum harvest parameters and, thus, high quality grapes for
winemaking. The vineyards were first planted in 2007. Their
2,200+ vines consist of five grape varietals: Marquette,
LaCrosse, La Crescent, Mars, and Reliance. The first three
varietals produce wines for Creekside Vineyards Winery; the
latter two are table grapes to be enjoyed seasonally by guests,
friends, and family.
