Wife and I visited here 10 years ago, just before we got married, and 10 years later, it’s just as lovely as it was the first time we went. We’ll be back!
Very nice winery. Great atmosphere and the wine was very good. I believe the lady who helped us name was Linda. She's the greatest.
Massive selection of great wines. The tasting room is huuuuge. Dont be confused by the old signage pointing you towards the farmhouse for glasses of wine... you get ALL your wine at the large tasting building on *most* days. Staff was super friendly and helped us pick our spread. Enjoyed very charming music on the lawn under the shade of a beautiful old tree. Very nice setting. Dog friendly. I highly recommend it.
The winetastings were 10/10 thank you so much to miss Linda, you were such a treat and so sweet like the wines we liked. She treated me and my husband so kind and was very respectful. Definately coming back here. Linda’s dog roamed the yard and was a good catcher!! The finger food was very slim pickings but it is BYOF (bring your own food) They even have board games you can borrow!! I loved the fall flavors like the caramel apple wine slushy, that was so good!!
We had a great experience at the Vineyard!! Susan and Ford were friendly and informative. We came away with a variety of wine We enjoyed. A visit to Galena will include a stop at Galena Cellars!
Beautiful scenery with delicious wine offerings. We sat inside and outside. The outside was beautiful with plenty of seating and a live band. It was kid friendly, so there wasn't a problem brining out daughter with us as well. She loved sitting outside and taking in the scenery.
Gorgeous vineyard to walk around with your glass of wine if you like to sit an unwind they have multiple seating areas, we went on a day they had live music which was lovely. We also did a wine tasting that was so much fun. Definitely would recommend.
Thank you Jake for the fine wine selection and enjoyed the music by Bruce Korrz and Friends! Will be back congrats to Judge Kevin Ward in bass guitar retired jzdge this past Friday here in Jo Daviess County best on your retirement! We will be back soon!
We stopped by for wine tasting. They have a large indoor tasting room, as well as outdoor space, but it was drizzling, so we stayed indoors. We had kids with us, and they were able to get a non alcoholic slushie and pay board games while we did the tasting.
Friendly staff and informative. Purchased a couple of bottles that I liked that I won't be able to get at home.
Great experience, nice people, nice ambiance.

We just went for a tasting. The wine is fine, but the person who did our tasting - was not at all friendly. I'm not sure of their gender even, or their name, but I felt very rushed, like they wanted us finished and out as soon as possible.. They didn't say anything about the wine itself - I don't think they knew much about it. They weren't interested in any form of conversation despite the fact that they were not at all busy. They said they were new, and I hope they improve because I really do hope for their success but I did not feel even welcome.
This vineyard is in a very pretty setting of rolling hills in the Galena driftless area. There's a large outside area to sit and enjoy your wine. When we were there, there was live music and a food truck. They have a variety of wines to pick from and you can order by the glass or purchase a bottle.
A depressing vibe. The attendant pouring our tasting didn’t care to engage with us and had a flat, bored affect. Wines were not good, several with an off taste of conditioning agents. The patio could use some landscaping (and a deep cleaning of bird sh*t). Overall not inviting
Little hard to find, but always worth it. Huge variety of wine makes it possible for everyone to find one (or more) to enjoy.
Thanks Debra and crew for an awesome time. From booking to picking out different wines, take made it so easy! Thanks for checking on our large party and the great conversations. Thanks for making our Anniversary trip there wonderful. Will definitely be visiting soon! A+
