Village Vintner Winery & Brewery Brewery • $$
2380 Esplanade Dr, Algonquin - 5.59 miles

“The Huntley Area Chamber hosted a VIP event at Village Vitner Winery & Brewery for their Presidents Club, Executive Club, and Board members. We enjoyed six food and drink tastings (choice of wine or beer) from six different countries while our tour guide shared information about ingredients and the country of origin. All was absolutely delicious! All of their staff did an amazing job taking care of our group of 34. FYI... They also make a great Old Fashion.

If you are looking for a great meal and/or cocktails for one or dozens of people, the Village Vitner will not disappoint.“

“We went on a Friday night wasn't too crowded, we sat outside. They had a big connect 4 that the kids could play on. Comfortable seating for outside. The BFM burger and fries were pretty tasty. My son had a dairy allergy and our waitress Dana was incredibly patient and went way out of her way to ensure my son could grab something tasty to eat. I'll definitely be back, especially with that service!“
