I've been to many wineries so expected the same feel. This was very different but in a unique way. It felt very much like a wine farm! It was on the outskirts of town, off the beaten path. We did not do the tour but instead the tastings. For $5 we were able to taste 6 wines. All that we... More

The wine was so delicious !!I tried their Pomegranate wine and had to buy a bottle to bring home as well as their Chocolate Port that goes great with Ice Cream!! I seriously did not want to... More

My husband and I visited their vineyard location intending to at least do a wine tasting. Lots of selections and employees were very helpful and knowledgeable despite being busy. We planned the time of our visit to arrive 30 minutes prior to the last winery tour for the day at 4 PM, according to their website. When we inquired, they... More

This is the first winter season we have visited the Ford location, great service, $5 for six tastes, we were also offered a taste of Mulled wine was also delicious. Recommend becoming a case club membership, 20% off well worth the $25, will be back again.

A very nice place to taste wine of the area. Might be the wrong time of the year for a more enjoyable time.

We stopped at the winery for their Saturday 2:00 p.m. tour and stayed for a tasting. The tour was packed, but the guide was very warm, friendly and knowledgable (not a typical wine snob!) We stayed after the tour and did a tasting. Again, it was rather crowded but the service was excellent. Great variety of wine - not all... More

Great find on our way back from touring the city of Galena. This place is about 7 miles East of Galena off of Country road 3. We stopped in for the winery tour and wine tasting. It was a fantastic experience. Both the tasting and tour were $5 per person and it was well worth it. The tour lasted about... More

Fun - tasted wine, watched the sunset. Lots of cute related items to purchase for gifts, etc. Staff was knowledgable and attentive. Other "tasters" were enjoyable to discuss and compare wines.

A fun wine tasting at the shop on Main street- our server gave us extra samples as he had suggestions he thought we may like. We ended up buying 3 bottles- all samples we tried with one he had suggested. Highly recommend!
