DC Estate Winery

DC Winery in South Beloit, Illinois is a beautiful venue. From the moment, you drive through the front gates you feel like you're at an Italian villa. Lovely setting for weddings or any other special occasion. There are plenty of places for amazing photo opportunities. The flights of wine were very good. Their sparkling wine was absolutely my favorite. And also, they gave you a souvenir glass to take home with you. Great to order. Inside or in the courtyard. Lovely, lovely winery.

Went here on our girls day winery tours. The property is gorgeous. If it was closer to me I would def have to plan a birthday or shower or some type of event here. The service was also very nice. The 2 ladies that were working were very welcoming and informative. We started with flights and then moved onto slushies. The food was also ok. They did have a food truck that day which was a bbq company we did not try. We would def come back and visit again.

If you are looking for a place for a wedding or a relaxing afternoon this is your place. If you're considering a wedding venue call Tia Lasswell. She was the wedding planner we used 3 1/2 years ago. She gave great advised, was extremely organized and made sure my dayDaughters wedding was PERFECT! As far as DC Estates goes it is a great place for a relaxing day of wine tasting. The large goods gives you Ole of room to spread out and enjoy the beautiful outdoor area.

Such a fun spot to grab a tasty glass of wine or wine slushy!! Always great service with many sitting options inside our outside on the patio, by the pond, or next to the creek. Beautiful vineyards & a magical spot to have a wedding.

Nice spot....felt like California....nicely done They should serve beer also for non-wine drinking husbands!

Girls Day Stop #3. We arrived here late afternoon. But had enough time to have a flight of wine. I stuck to a bubbly wine, Serendipity Sparkling. It was delightful. The atmosphere was very fitting to the decor of the winery. I wish we would have had more time here. We will have to come back. The staff was friendly. They were busy cleaning up after serving us and a few others as it was about time to close. So we we headed for our next stop.

How DC Estate has anything less than 5 stars is absolutely mind boggling to me. My husband and I got married here July 6th, 2019 and have visited countless times. Every time has been absolutely incredible! FOR WEDDINGSWedding Planner: Tia Lasswell is an angel on Earth. She is the most incredible wedding planner, which is probably why she won the award Rockford's #1 Planner! She is on top of everything and goes above and beyond for her couples. She's changed my shoes (pictured), fixed my dress mishaps, reminded me of my mom's favorite bottle of wine so I could purchase it for her for Christmas, and so much more. She made sure are day was absolutely perfect and completely painless. Plus, we asked her what companies she recommends we work with and she was spot on with all her recommendations. We couldn't have had the perfect wedding without Tia! She feels like family now and we love going back to visit her. I cannot say enough good things about her!The venue itself: Absolutely gorgeous! The outdoor ceremony space has a beautiful water fixture and stone arch to get married in front of. It was so beautiful in our pictures too! The indoor reception space is also gorgeous! Plus, they can easily arrange it for getting married indoors if weather doesn't cooperate. It has AC inside and huge windows to give a beautiful view of the ceremony space and the vineyards. Parking: There is a huge lot for parking and they let you leave your car overnight if you've had too much to drink. Wine: 10/10! They have options for everyone. They have sweet wines, crisp and refreshing white wines, mulled wines in the fall, wine slushees, dry reds (very impressive and bold for Wisconsin), and more! Definitely our favorite wine made in WI/IL. FOR A VISITTasting room: A beautiful space indoor that has a gorgeous fireplace and bar. They have a gift shop inside and some snacks for purchase. You can do wine by the glass or bottle, a tasting, or a flight as I mentioned before, the wine is exceptional.Food- they have snacks you can purchase from the fridge. Cheese boxes, nuts, spreads, etc.Patio: The patio is absolutely gorgeous. It's covered in string lights and has a gorgeous view of the vines and ceremony space. There are plenty of tables with umbrella which add to the vibe. This area is great for cocktail hour if you get married there.I could go on forever about how amazing DC Estate is! If you're considering getting married here, DO IT! It's the perfect venue with the perfect planner. If you're not looking for a wedding venue, definitely make a visit! It will become your new favorite vineyard. :)

We went one afternoon during the week, we enjoyed a nice glass of wine and bought a bottle to take home and enjoy with friends. What a beautiful setting to enjoy some adult time. It was beautifully decorated for the holidays. We plan to go back and meet up with friends. They had everything from a warm cocktail to a wine slushy. I highly recommend taking a drive out in the country and enjoy. They also have a very nice wedding reception area.

Came here on Sunday for the live music and mimosa flights on the patio.. we got there and it was packed. They actually had to bring out more chairs and tables for us ! They had their full bar/ wine out in their pavilion, and also the indoor one was open, charcuterie boards available, a taco truck, and live music on a perfectly sunny Sunday afternoon. What more could you ask for? Oh, and it's FREE! We had a blast and will definitely be back. The scenery is gorgeous and makes you feel like your in a little slice of Cali. The staff is very sweet and knowledgeable about their products. I've also been to weddings at this winery, and been apart of weddings at this winery and i highly recommend the venue, their wedding planner is fantastic. All around gorgeous place to escape to and enjoy some great wine!

Beautiful location to spend an afternoon sipping wine n relaxing. They have flights n slushies too! Only food offered for purchase are little charcuterie boards n snacks.
