    Mackinaw Valley Winery is a wonderful winery to stop by and enjoy the serinity and peace of the area. They have a wonderful wine selection with some super unique wines! They produce an "Orange Wine" (no, it's not made from Oranges lol) that is super yummy plus so many more! I definitely recommend checking this place out! They have wines for dry and sweet drinkers alike!

    Made it out after hearing raves from a coworker. We were able to enjoy a concert a few weeks ago, despite the rain. They moved the band and all reserved tables to the pavillion and we got to sit up on the deck. Even with the rain it was an enjoyable evening. They have a fun selection of wines that I enjoyed. You can bring you own food/munchies to eat - no drink allowed. They have wine, various soda/pop and water, along with some cheese/crackers and pizza (whole - not sold in slices). Its a great place for date night, ladies night out, bridal shower/bachelorette celebrations etc. Of course everyone is so friendly and nice - its great! There is only a $5/person cover charge for the event - extremely affordable.

    This was our first time in a vineyard. Had chosen Mackinaw because of the proximity to my place and the greats reviews. And...we were not disappointed. The place is quaint, nestled among corn fields and almost isolated. A perfect place to unwind and envelop yourself in serene greenery. As you enter the winery, you are awestruck by the beautiful house of the owners and the Wine tasting room after that. The tasting room is built tastefully and has an old charm to it that feels perfect with a glass of wine in your hand. Barry the bartender makes you feel right at home and is very charming. You get to taste 3 different types of wines for free and $1 thereafter. You can tell Barry has been doing this for a long time, because he recommended us just the right type of wine based on my wife's and my tastes. We started with Nicole Blush followed by Eric's Red, White Dragon, Alexander's Red, Coronot Trois. The gift shop is nice and has an eclectic collection of wine stoppers, corks, decorative items and chocolates. The vineyard is very well maintained and the small pond in the middle adds character to the charming place. I got to know that this place was also known for hosting weddings and I knew why. The whole place is very well maintained and modern and feels very calm. We had a great time in the vineyard and ended up purchasing 3 bottles of wine. All in all, a nice place to spend a quiet Sunday afternoon with your loved ones.

    Came here for a murder mystery dinner in March. The package came with wine tasting and a great meal. I LOVED the White Dragon wine. I took home a bottle. The scenery was excellent and the whole place was just fun! 5 stars for creating a place in central Illinois where people can gather for evenings out!! The reason for the 3 stars was not Necessarily the fault of the vineyard, but I wish I would have had more of a warning from Mackinaw Vineyard advertising - the play was extremely inappropriate. It was a murder mystery and advertised as suspenseful, not ADULT raunchy sex dialogue. My husband and were not impressed and almost walked out after the 10th reference to a sexual act. The food was great and it would have been a really nice night had the play been a little more appropriate. I can't wait to come out for picnics and outdoor concerts this summer. Maybe I can up my review then.

    Like the napa valley wineyard tour but no pressure to buy and there's a band and backyard picnic like dance area. Wine is decent. Cheese are really good. Lots of people brought their own food. Lots of 20 something mother with little daughters dancing. Very wholesome. Once the sun sets the crowd changes to 30 somethings dancing and drinking wine.

    Some of the best meals in life are not about the food. Just ate Butch's frozen pizza with a bottle of Jasmin's Moonlight White. Day drinking on a Sunday with my beautiful wife and a beautiful view. Could not be more perfect.

    I'll start by saying that I'm not a wine drinker. The closest that I come is sangria, of which I am actually quite the connoisseur. Saying that, this place is a beautiful stop in a random County. I came with my grandmother for a grape stomping and wine tasting. The land is gorgeous with a gazebo, small lake, and a very cute koi pond. There are swing benches everywhere so adults can get out of the blazing sun and cool off with a beverage. The staff was very friendly and we could not stop thinking of all the great events we could have here. The only catch is that I was not much a fan of the sangria. Mostly I was just wondering where the wine was in the drink. The sweet reds that I did try were not bad but I was not super impressed overall. I think this location be wonderful for any wedding, reunion, or outing for families and friends as long as you are not expecting good sangria. Cheers!

    Beautiful setting. Easy place to relax and not get too intoxicated because the wine is virtually undrinkable.

    This place was really good but my judgement all the way until we got our food was mixed. Very good…read moreYelp reviews but we were able to walk in and be seated immediately on a Friday night. The menu was several pages but only one page with food, drinks were the remainder. We got the dipper appetizer and I had the Sassy Chicken Thighs. Both were good and the thigh was boneless. My wife had the loaded potato salad, asparagus, and broccoli which she enjoyed. My son had the Steak Sliders with the potato salad which he really enjoyed. I suppose when the chef can master a menu there's no need for multiple pages. I misjudged and would definitely come back if I'm in town again.

    Great atmosphere, and great food at Mystic Kitchen tonight. A couple things that you really need to…read moretry for yourself. The spiced apple Margarita was delish, tasted just like apple pie. The Salty Caesar Flatbread was exceptional, romaine, herb chicken, bacon, tomatoes, mozzarella, and parmesan all piled on a flatbread, you just have to try it. The Shaved steak sliders were topped with a horseradish aioli and really didn't need the au jus but it was a nice addition. And leave room for dessert because the Blueberry Cobbler was also something that you have to try. Served perfectly warm with just a small scoop of ice cream. Kitchen was a little slow with some of the dishes but it was a great meal and a great experience.
