Visited this place and loved the vibe and experience and the uniqueness of the grape less wines available here. Everyone was super nice and if you’re going through the area you should definitely visit.

A wonderful tasting experience.Group loved it! The wine maker did our tasting which made it extra special. I purchased a super cute long sleeve tshirt and some really good blueberry wine. All fruit wines made from local sources.A definite return trip here for me!

This winery makes their wine with fruit other than grapes. Some of them taste like grapes anyway! Unique wines and flavors. Loved their strawberry dessert wine!

We really enjoyed our time here. The owner was so inviting and knowledgable regarding food pairings during our tasting. Great prices for both tasting and bottles we took home. Definitely worth a visit while in Southern Illinois!

We had a great time today. The tasting was worth the $5. The gentleman who did ours let us know about each wine, and offered not only food pairings but also suggestions on how to use a few in recipes. We went home with a few bottles and each had a glass of wine on one of the decks that wrap the building. We really enjoyed relaxing while being nearly in the treetops.**If you come from the north, the turn into the drive is a very sharp turn that comes up on you very quickly.

We had the best wine tasting of all of the vineyards we went to. George told us about each wine and the foods they would go best with. We bought a case for future enjoyment! Gorgeous deck outside.

The service was amazing at this winery, the wine was amazing, and the view was beautiful. We took away a star due to a unpleasant smell when entering the building.

You kind of have to accept what your getting into here. The wine is fruit wine, and it's actually better than most all grape wines on the trail for what it is, so don't let that keep you away. The apple wines are delicious. The blueberry wine is delicious. The Kir is delicious. We first visited soon after their opening when the tasting room was in the basement with a few stools and a very old refrigerator. We still come by occasionally after over 23 years. George never remembers us or he's off hiking, but that's okay because his staff is always super friendly, he's still super excited about his wine, and they still taste great.

My absolute favorite winery. It is unique because they have non-grape, mostly apple wines, so do note that the wines are sweeter. So delicious! It is in a beautiful woodsy location in a cabin-like building, so is also unique in that aspect. It has a nice, quiet and calm atmosphere. I definitely recommend trying here if you haven'y already. Also, definitely do their wine sampling!
Beautiful winery. Our host George was a delight and explained each of the wines and appropriate food pairings through our tasting. We then enjoyed a bottle of our choice on their deck.

Soothing simple words can have the greatest significance and Pomona Winery gives a great illusion of that. What they don't say while reading the front cover is that the richness and complexity of their staff, their winery, and their product, creates angelic stirrings of beauty that is both delicious and grounding.My trip into the rolling rocks of Holy Boulders and Giant City had become perfection after doing a tasting here. It was explained elegantly by our host and we left with 3 bottles of beautiful apple wine.There isn't anything quite like this. I will be visiting again every year.

Best apple and dessert wines in the universe. Orchard Spice is like a delightful glass of Mom's apple pie.
