we stumbled upon this gem while trailing wineries around Galena for the first time ever! St. Charles just happens to be a hometown to us since our fav pizza place resides there on the river and our company Fox Valley Glass started that way on Dean St. So AMAZING to see owners from our area with a phenomenal venue miles away! Our experience was stellar! The wines were A plus from the cellar! & we promise to back again soon for another tasting when the weather gets warmer!! A better Vineyard in the area...............Fogetttaboutit!! only go to Fergedaboudit!! We took 4 bottles home for the memory!!

We first had the Poppi Dolce wine a few years ago, and it has become a family favorite. We make the drive periodically to gift it to loved ones and ourselves! They have a lovely property and wine slushies to die for. If you're anywhere nearby and in the mood for vino, it's a must-see stop.

Really a great time. The owner Vicky was so wonderful and friendly. They are normally busy on Saturdays. We happened to be there yesterday (Sunday). They were still busy but probably because of the festival going on in Galena.We had a tasting than a couple glasses of wine that we brought outside. They had several tables and the sun was shining so it was a really nice day.The wines that they make are good. However, several of their grapes that they use come from California which is unfortunate but I understand. Some grapes don't grow well around there I guess.

You have to go. It is so beautiful and the staff was awesome! Love the pizza and cheese platter. You would not believe the view!

A unique tucked away in the hills around Hanover. There is outdoor seating and a great view from the outside. They have music on the weekends. The wine was good but a limited selection of dry wines. If you are looking for a relaxing day in the country give this place a try.

Beautiful area. Music is always great. Our favorite of course is Diva Montell but Vicki does a great job of serving everyone with such a great smile. She's so accommodating. Great customer service. Always a pleasure.

Beautiful place, amazing wine & great music. We will definitely be back!
Delaney Cummings
The scenery was beautiful and the staff were nice. The wine was really horrible though. Maybe they should consider just being a restaurant, not a winery.

What a gem of a winery! A beautiful place and the staff were all wonderful. We enjoyed wonderful dry, red wines (different than most of the wines we have tasted in this area) and great music. I would highly recommend. It greatly exceeded our expectations!!!

The road to this vineyard is horrible. It's down a makeshift road in the middle of the field. It took us forever to turn around because we didn't feel safe driving through the middle of a field surrounded by trees on a makeshift trail. Save your car, don't come here.
Was traveling from out of state,and ran across this gem of a winery. Entertainment was great,and the staff was super friendly. Would recommend it highly
Ordys Martinez
Beautiful scenery, great wine, and outstanding service. Definitely recommend it.

Went on a tour for my birthday, and it was a great experience learning about vineyard history. They had so many great sweet and dry wine choices. Also, I ordered the cheese platter to go along with the wine.Seeing the owner in there was great! It made us feel more welcome.

If you want a hidden gem of a winery THIS IS THE PLACE!! The service was fantastic, super friendly and they make you feel as though you are apart of their family. never felt more welcomed or careful about at a winery until now! Highly recommend their Port Dessert wine as it is fabulous paired with their chocolates and cheese trays the slushy wines are to die for.. Beautiful location in the hills of northern Il. Rustic vibes with a mix of old Italian homestead. Prices there are absolutely equivalent with the experience you get in-tow. I come from southern IL and I am absolutely thrilled with the experience I had with them cannot wait for our next trip up here.
