What a gem of a wine destination in Joilet! The building itself is historic, beautiful and…read morecastle-like. The staff encourage you to explore the house before settling in to do a tasting. Each room had its own character. I loved hearing about the rich history of the building as well as how it became the tasting room it is today. There were four of us who visited. A tasting is $20 for (8) sample pours. I was surprised at how good each of the wines were! Our group's favorites were the Sauvignon Blanc, 2020 Cabernet Sauvignon, and Bishop's Blend. Jordan guided us through the tasting telling us about each wine and answering any questions we had. He did a great job at keeping our glasses full while also giving us space to enjoy. Overall, this is a great wine tasting option in the area!

We were warmly greeted by Rori, our server (also our server last year). We chose 6 wines to sample and Rori poured and explained each wine to us. This young woman really knows her stuff. We ordered a small cheese board to enjoy with our final wine choices. This was more than just a stop for wine; it was an experience. I highly recommend the wines, the food and the friendly and knowledgeable staff. we'll be back.

They also have a tasting room and ship in North Utica. Wine flights,glass or bottle and light snacks are available for purchase. You can bring in your own food and pets are welcome. Bring a lawn chair,enjoy the views of the Illinois Valley and listen to free entertainment from 1-4 on selected weekends. More info on their website. They do need outdoor facilities and steps or a ramp up to the Hill would be a nice addition along with a paved entrance. A fun way to spend a day !

A must stop for any mead and wine lovers.

Located within a large mall in Plainfield, IL we could have walked to Cooper's Hawk from our hotel…read morenearby. It is quite large. We noticed a large group of patron standing along the perimeter of the lobby with their backs towards us as they sipped on wine flights in front of them on the table. We passed a souvenir sales spot on our way to the hostess as well, so we figured we were in a franchise eatery. Fortunately, it was early evening on a weekday. Not too crowded. We were comfortably seated, and Nathaniel Y was our gracious and knowledgeable server. Because all wines are made in house, i tasted one or two before settling on a full glass of red. I wish it had served a bit (60ºF) cooler that the room temperature one i received. I ordered a Soup and Salad Combo. The Tortilla Soup was out of this world wonderful! Full of flavor and texture variants. Even my "Plain Ol' House Salad" was great! Finished with a cup of decaf and a shared molten Chocolate Tiramisu. Heavenly....

My wine was good, if served a little warmer than that of the usual reds. I highly recommend the Arancini appetizer - crispy, hot and full of Parmesan flavor! The Tortilla soup is among the best I've had! The flavors burst, and the thin chips added a wonderful texture variant. I enjoyed the house salad with the house vinaigrette as well - very fresh! We finished with a Chef's tiramisu and decaf coffee. Tremendous. Price point for the quality of food and beverages, the outstanding service and the clean, open, newer space was entirely reasonable. Highly recommended.

I had the grilled lamb chops with mashed potatoes & grilled asparagus & my wife had lobster tail stuffed with shrimp & crabmeat in lemon butter sauce on a bed of asparagus risotto. Pricing was dependent on entree choice and a wine pairing option for an extra $20. I guess this place is a popular wedding venue and the place is so grand and classy.
