6 Best Wineries near Carbondale

“Three of us stopped by and greatly enjoyed ourselves. Where else can you find a distillery tasting and professional photography experience in one?!? We loved our group photo. The spirits were very interesting and used local ingredients. I appreciated learning about the history of whiskey making. Absolutely recommend a stop.“

“Kite Hill Vineyards 🍷 an amazing adventure through Southern Illinois wine country.

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!“

“Haven't been here? Seriously, I can't believe it! The best wines we've tasted on this wine trail tour for sure. The zinfandel is the best wine you will ever have from all of the wineries out here. The staff? Superb... If people still use that phrase anymore. Great atmosphere, great wine, great staff. Absolutely a 10 out of 10 and will be coming back here for sure!“

“We went on a Friday evening and sat outside on the patio since we had our dog and the weather was nice. When we eat here, it always takes some time for the food to come out, but service is always friendly and the food is good. We originally ordered the spinach dip, the bruschetta pizza, and a buffalo chicken salad. Later on, we realized there was a dinner menu special so we ended up adding the salmon and steak entrees and brownie for dessert. The food here is very good and everything tastes like it's made from scratch so it's worth the wait. This is one of the few wineries in the area that actually has good food options and the venue indoors and outdoors is comfortable and pleasant.“
