My favorite wine. Not too sweet, not too strong. Their glasses are $3.

We stopped in near closing time as we passed through on the way back to Indiana. Had a tasting, including the Winey Mary. Meghan provided amazing service and suggested mixing a Bloody Mary mix with their peach jalapeño wine. It was amazing. A must try for all Bloody Mary fans. We also tried Sol, Three Amigos, Pasión, and Sour Puss. All of which were good. Three Amigos and Pasión stood out the most. Three Amigos with its sweet grapy flavor and Pasión with just the right amount of dark chocolate. A must visit!

My mom and stopped here recently for a break from traveling. Wished the weather had been better as a rain storm hit as we were enjoying sitting out by the pond. Beautiful outdoor space with plenty of seating. They have lots of event which you can see in there website I believe. The wine was decent. My mom who is quite picky did not care for it. But the aviance inside and out is worth stopping by. Also not far off the freeway.

Cozy winery in small town. A little bit pricey but not crazy expensive. I liked it. Want to come back for a comedy night, it seems fun. Also the Cuban food truck was a plus. Ended up eating too much food :)

I fully endorse this place!! It was legitimately just like the photos. It's the only place to stay at the winery and is all wooden and beautiful. The place was equipped with so many bonuses like beautiful plates, wine glasses, bowls, as well as pretty much any cooking supplies and pans you could need. The charcoal grill was a nice bonus to grill burgers Sunday night. Plenty of charcoal in the kitchen pantry. Lovely bedding and and a gorgeous bathroom featuring soft bath towels, soap and shampoo in the shower, toiletries, and even a hair straightener and curling iron if one needed. The wifi held up well for two of us (third friend had troubles with T Mobile). We were even able to hook up a laptop to the HDMI cables and stream Netflix on the tv. The winery staff were always wonderfully friendly and welcoming, even before they knew we were staying there for the weekend. And Hobie the fluffy Maine coon was my favorite treat. As a cat person, I was excited when he joined us on the balcony. He kept visiting throughout the weekend and we bonded. He'd settle in my lap with precious purrs and longing meows. I have a Maine coon at home that looked a lot like him! Hobie kept me company when I'd go on the covered balcony to smoke. We brought groceries and cooked all weekend. An egg bake for breakfast. Lasagna and garlic bread for dinner. Burgers and salad for lunch. I would suggest future guests bring cheap Tupperware, foul, Saran Wrap, something to keep food if you want to. We ended up putting plates in plastic bags and tying them up in the fridge; very easy with all the groceries we brought! We all came from the Chicago suburbs and it was a nice getaway for Memorial Day weekend ... just far enough for the quick trip. Three days later, have no complaints at all! A+ vacation spot. Before we left, we were talking about when to come back.

Great little wine place in central Illinois. It isn't too far off the highway. We started with the wine tasting, which they had about 20 to choose from. (Give or take). I ended up falling in love with the wine slushy, while the others enjoyed their chocolate wine the most. Board games, cheese curds and friendly roaming cats. Love the ambiance and the great service. I have been here for a wedding as well which was a lot of fun, so it's nice to see it being a fun place for less formal engagements. Will be back soon.

We held our wedding at Sleepy Creek in June. It was the perfect place. We had so many compliments on how beautiful everything turned out. Photo credit to T-Stagg Photography

Absolutely amazing place to hangout with friends and family. Very country feel to it. Good selection of wines, the slushees are delicious! Highly recommend bringing your own snacks or a lunch even. Good amount of outside seating when the weather is nice.

I have liked their wines for years. I'm particular to reds. Today is my boyfriend and I's anniversary and we wanted to go get some wine, but I'd been wanting to visit the vineyard for a while and so we drove out as we'd both taken the day off. We were greeted warmly when we arrived. We wanted to look at the products other than wine for sale and they told us when we were ready for our free tasting to come to the counter. You get to try 3 wines for free per person. If you want to try 6, it's $3. They also have some wine drinks, these are mixed wine drinks. I love their Winey Mary. If you like Bloody Mary, you might like this. I did get to try their Wapatulli and it's their version of a sangria. It's really sweet, but very tasty. We ended up buying a couple glasses of that to sit down and drink. I also bought a couple of stemless glasses with the vineyard logo on it because I have a love for dragonflies and I like the name. The wines we ended up taking home were Wanderlust, Three Amigos, and my favorite from the wine festival last year, Lunacy. We will definitely be back for more wine.

Wine was great but they were out of favorite selections. Staff (dark haired lady) was helpful. They no longer allow outside food, but the ownership has not set this up to be a well-running food establishment. Most food selections were not available and the poor staff was scrambling to cook in crock pots and small ovens. Our second visit, but we won't be back. We moved to another winery and spent the day there!
