Step into a world of authentic German ambiance that was created by the settlers of the Amana Colonies and preserved by their ancestors. Experience the unique culture that has its roots in Germany and flourished in the USA during a communal era for over 90 years. Visitors have been coming to the seven scenic villages for over a century. Come for the food, wine, and beer – for the quality handcrafted products, art, and quaint shops – for the history and antiques.
There is a lot to see and do so we’ve built in flexibility. You may choose to join the group activities or head off on your own.
The rally includes the highly recommended approximate 2-hour Village Voyage Van tour. Only 2 tours are offered each day Monday - Saturday so we need to make reservations early for the 14-seat van. You’ll learn the history of the Amana Colonies, visit the Amana Heritage Society, Communal Kitchen, High Amana General Store, and the Old Homestead Church. The tour is not handicap accessible so you must be able to get into and out of the van and navigate some steps.
