The spirits were very interesting and used local ingredients. I appreciated learning about the history of whiskey making. Absolutely recommend a stop.“

Beautiful views, delicious wines, and big thanks to Scott for giving us the behind-the-scenes tour!

Add this to your list the next time you’re in or around Carbondale, Illinois!“

“Stopped here while staying overnight in Carbondale. Loved the setting & friendly staff. Did a wine tasting & decided we loved Don’s Estate Dry White Vignoles. Took a bottle with us & enjoyed later on the patio at the Home2 Suites in Springfield. Wish you weren’t so far from our home in Des Moines Iowa.“

“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!“

“Tori was great, extremely knowledgeable! Bought a couple bottles of a white and a red and they were presented and explained very professionally to a retired Sommelier from the West Coast. Had a very enjoyable experience at this winery and the wines are top notch for the area. Spent many, many moons in the Carbondale area, especially watching concerts here. Highly recommend.“

“Dining at Walkers Bluff Tasting Room was a pleasure. The steak was cooked exactly to my liking and the side of potatoes was satisfying. My daughter's chicken Alfredo pizza was a hit. The quality of the meal warrants high praise. Additionally, the cave tour was fascinating.“
