We crush approximately 35 tons of Illinois grapes each year and produce 14 varieties of wine, from dry to sweet, in reds, whites and blushes. Our wines have won numerous regional and international awards, but it is more important to us that you, the customer, will find enjoyment from the fruits or our labor.
