Monte Alegre Vineyard/Cellars

Unfortunately smells like dogs and the wine tastes horrific. Nice server though.

We think David has some of the best wines in our area. His hospitality and graciousness makes it worth a trip, too. We enjoy the country scenery and his pets. Take a picnic lunch and relax.

Wonderful experience! We just came in for a quick tasting before closing with our 6 month old in tow and the owner was so kind. The wines were excellent! We loved everything we tried. Will definitely be back!

We happen onto this winery this weekend! What a pleasant surprise! The winery is spectacular the vineyard is beautiful! This will be a definite go to on our many visits down to our beloved Southern Illinois!!! Thank you!!

Excellent! Lovely vineyard making only estate wines. The dry reds are great but don't miss the port!!!

Quite casual atmosphere with some really good wine.Great place for a relaxing afternoon.

Delicious wines especially the Chambourcin and Fond de Cave for me personally. Wonderful atmosphere. Our wine guide was super knowledgeable and fun! Family-owned. Must go.

Wines are great! Nice small business setting, beautiful location. Very friendly and accommodating family!

We found this lovely vineyard by accident while visiting family. I loved everything about it. The music on the background, the service, the wine and the view. So small, cozy and romantic. Now we'll have to stop by every time we visit.

We met David and his family at a Red Rose Ball in Marion. They were such an inspirational family. Upon meeting them we felt so blessed. On occasion we have stopped at their winery and enjoyed purchasing a few bottles of the best tasting wines of our area. When entering the doors , until departure , you will feel you are in the comfort of your home. Fabulous wines as well as hospitality!

We went for my bachelorette party, they did so well pairing us with wines we would enjoy and then they hooked us up with a free glass after. It was the highlight of the trip and we really appreciated the extra hospitality

Amazing views, phenomenal customer service, and tasty wine!

This was our first time here and it is super quaint with a great location. The staff is super nice and personable. Robin was great and took time to walk us through all of the wines, you can even see where they make the wines through a window in the lobby. All of the wines were fantastic and I would definitely recommend stopping in here if you haven't before!

My husband and I visited Monte Alegre and enjoyed it! With COVID restrictions, we were not able to do a tasting but the staff was very welcoming and informative on the bottles for sale. We bought a bottle of rosé and walked the grounds, a quiet, lovely afternoon.
