Hickory Ridge Vineyard and Winery

Great experience.
Heartas blush. Their flagship wine.
Sylvia was friendly, welcoming & a pleasure to visit with. They have been in business for 40 years.
Impressive!

Quaint place off the beaten path. Beautiful scenery. Quiet & peaceful. We tried the dry reds. Not bad.

Great view and great service plus amazing wine! I had “the other side” red wine blend and it’s an easy drinker - great with anything!I love this place to come with my husband and just relax! So romantic with the great views.Met the winemaker who is awesome too!You just cannot beat the views! Highly recommend you stop here on your wine tour!

This small winery is definitely off the beaten path, but it is in a very peaceful location. Bring some cheese and crackers or whatever you prefer to snack on and buy a glass or a bottle of their wine after tasting all the options in the tasting room. Then go outside and sit in one of the chairs overlooking the vineyard and feel the tension leaving your body as you relax.

There are many excellent wines and wineries along the Shawnee Wine Trail. Hickory Ridge in Pomona is a favorite! We bought a mixed case of wines because it was too hard to choose just one! Thank-you to the owner who guided us through the tastings of their varietal selections.

Horrible. Asked the woman 3 times how much it was for a tasting and she never would answer. We left and next stop we made were informed she’d called all wineries on the trail to say two girls skipped out on their tab. I was mortified. It was $6. I ended up giving her $10 and told her we would not be back!!!!

Poor First Welcome...Rude Attitude

Loved our visit here on a warm winter day in February. Their Norton dry red is the best I've had and definitely worth the stop! Also can't beat the view here. Serene and beautiful.

Great wine beautiful and peaceful, great for dogs

Poor First Welcome...Rude Attitude

We enjoyed our wine flight. Beautiful grape vine trellis to sit under!

We loved this winery. The lady was so nice and we loved her dog! The wine was great as well.

A very calm and relaxing atmosphere with nice views. Wine flights were an affordable and fun way to taste several wines. Our sommeliers were very knowledgeable, kind and friendly! Our favorite wine was the Norton.

Best dry red wines in Southern ill. And nice owners too!

During a visit here last summer, I ordered their Sangria, which appeared to be stored somewhere behind the checkout counter. The owners apparently have their large dog to move around freely and unleashed in the same area. The Sangria contained hair (probably shed from the dog), which the lady at the counter promptly offered to have replaced and apologized. However, the replacement also had the same issue. Although not intentional, this is not an experience I was expecting to have at a well-reputed winery and diminishes my confidence is visiting the next time.
