Tasting Room Info

May 3rd, 2025 - Our 20 Year Anniversary of 1st grapes planted - It all started when the first grapes were planted on May 5, 2005 - Wouldn't have our tasting room and our great venue along with the wine if it weren't for Kurt changing course! So, he thought growing grapes would keep him busy. And that it has! But who knew 20 years later - 10 acres of grapes a tasting room and 16 labels of wine! Stop by Saturday May 3rd to celebrate this milestone with us. Pizza by Prohibition 309 from 1pm til out or close and music with Patrick from 3-6pm.

We've got Bubbly!! - We now serve 4 of Illinois Sparkling Company's Traditional Method wines. Made, in part, from OMV vineyard grapes, we are excited to share with you another place offering Illinois's finest grape-grown bubbly!! Perfect for the upcoming holidays and to recognize 10 Years of our business relationship of selling OMV grapes to Illinois Sparkling Co & August Hill Winery. We've come full circle to now offer more finished products of selected grapes that start in our own vineyard!
