This places offers some great wines. My wife and I love the heartland blush. It also has a lot of comfortable seating and amazing, hospitable service.

Love the atmosphere, wine, and staff here! Wine comes from their vineyard in Alto Pass, Illinois (close to Carbondale)! I love the Chardonel (dry white), so yummy! My mom and grandma love it as well

Someone said their website says they serve food, but it does not. They serve food at the Alto Pass location, which I've also been to. I still have yet to find a better place for wine tasting in the state of Illinois.

My fiancée and I and some friends were in Champaign on a weekend visit and when looking for things to do, came across live music at this winery. As we like wine and music, we popped by for Candy Foster who was obviously a crowd favorite because the indoor venue was packed. I loved the beverage offerings and felt that there was a wide section available, including the holiday sangria that I purchased. The bathroom was nice—lol—and didn’t smell even though there was a consistent line of people waiting to use the facilities. The space was well maintained and we definitely enjoyed our brief interaction here while in Champaign!

Descent selection of wine. The location is nice and could be fun. Went for the comedy show which was good though the owner(manager) was very unfriendly for the second time. Not likely to try it a third time with below average drinks and a bad attitude staff.
Extremely pretty. Fabulous staff. We had a lot of fun. We stopped in in the evening in November. They had had a chili cook off during the day we found out. They have a very extensive events calendar. Very flat parking area is gravel building and grounds are handicap accessible. Are puppy love running around, wines are fruit wines the special in November was a sin Grua, which I bought two bottles. Very comfortable interior spotlessly clean I can only imagine how beautiful it is for weddings in the spring and summer. The website says they serve food, they do not except for cheese and crackers, and small bites for wine tasting.Campers can fit in the parking lot.

The setting is certainly lovely; expansive porches, quiet views. However, the wine experience is lacking.We smiled, told the lady, “we are new here”. She just said, what do you want? No mention of tasting options. So we checked the listings and ordered the $8 glass of Shiraz. As she started to pour the Shiraz into a plastic disposable cup, I asked for a glass…. “you have to buy that, otherwise people break them”. Really? You charge me $8 for a small glass of wine and then serve it in plastic? I’m 67 years old, I can’t even remember the last time I broke a wine glass.Sorry, it’s called the cost of doing business, a quality business.

Being from out of town, we walked in and asked if we could sit on their outdoor deck. They said sure. We didn't realize that there was no wait staff and that you had to order at their bar. It would have been nice if they had mentioned that. There was no one inside and they let us walk out without even asking us if everything was all right. A nice view but a definitely an awkward experience. A little bit of customer service would go a long way.
