We had everything we needed to make the day special. The landscape was a beautiful sight as well! We drank sangria and muched while looking... More

We decided to get off the main downtown area to head out to wine country. Of course, being winos we realize that this is no Napa Valley, but it is nice to sit out in the beautiful countryside and enjoy a few glasses of wine. Specifically, we enjoyed their Sauvigon Blanc. The grounds are pretty and inside the main building... More

We started our day here at about 10:30 and there weren't any lines...a great time to be there and look around. The tastings were great and we tried mostly the sweet wines as those are more to our liking. They had interesting kinds and the staff was friendly and knew just the right recommendations. Like red rasbery with a piece... More

Visited just this past weekend. The place gets pretty packed I must say but we were well tended to in reference to a wine tasting. Those behind the counter really knew their stuff and their recommendations were spot on! We walked out of there with about 9 bottles!!.. This place has the best wine in Galena, hands down!.. More

We stopped in at the Main St. location this weekend because my daughter had never done a wine tasting. It was a great experience for her. The server was full of good information and listened well so that her recommendations were appropriate. My husband and I tried a few new wines as well and found new favorites. This is a... More

$3 will buy you your choice to taste 5 locally produced wines at the counter. Most of the wines were nothing special in my opinion, but the people you meet while there were nice and the experience was enjoyable. The wines were priced from $10 to $20 per bottle and there was a discount if you paid a $25 fee... More

The hotel desk clerk at Eagle Ridge informed us of a wine-tasting festival, so we went there in the afternoon. It was a wonderful afternoon and we got to taste many varieties of wine and listen to great music. There was an art show and a grape-stomping event that were fun as well. We bought some wine and just opened... More
