Outdoor seating

First time at this winery. The grounds and the building are beautiful. If you're looking for a wedding reception venue, this would probably be a gorgeous place to hold it. We didn't do the wine tasting; we were a little disappointed that the tastings were not free. You get 4 tastings for $10. Kind of steep if you ask me (but I'm kinda cheap). We found the bottles of wine to also be pricier than other wineries we've gone to in Illinois and St. Charles. We settled on a bottle of semi dry, taking a gamble we'd like it. The bottle was $27, but the total came to $43+ with a bucket of ice. This surprised us, and it was then they told us there is a $5 per glass deposit, refunded to you in cash if you choose not to keep the glasses. I didn't see any sign about this (I may have missed it), so it was a surprise. I haven't paid a deposit for a glass in years at other places. The glasses were admittedly pretty darn nice, so as I write this, I'm not sure if we'll take them with us or get our deposit back. The wine was terrific. It matched the description on the menu, and we drank the whole thing with no problem. Burp. I deducted a star for the price of everything (again, I'm a little frugal, so take this with a grain of salt). Overall- great outdoor venue, expensive but nice glasses, good but pricey wine. Would I come back? Probably not.

Wild Sun Winery has a great selection of wines. We did a wine tasting with Mark who was friendly and knowledge about the wine selection. The tasting is 4 samples for $10 and takes place inside in the enter-way of the house. My two favorites were the Radiance which was similar to a Sauvignon Blanc and the Chardonel Reserve. There is a beautiful deck and back patio where they play live music on the weekends during the summer. They have some food you can purchase from walk up windows on the deck but you can also bring your own food. Overall, Wild Sun has great wine and a beautiful space to enjoy it.

We visited Wild Sun this past Saturday and enjoyed an afternoon in the shade listening to a great band and drinking great wine. Due to COVID, no wine tastings are being offered (which I look forward to coming back for). Two windows on the back deck were open for order taking: food, beer, and wine. Social distancing is being practiced, employees are wearing masks, and there is plenty of room on the property to spread out. (I suggest bringing your own chairs so you can spread out on the lawn, as there is limited space on the patio and deck.) We ordered a bottle of White Dawn, which is their Reisling, and we brought in our own snacks. The wine was excellent! We had a great time and look forward to going back.

Great place to spend a beautiful Saturday afternoon. I am a pretty basic wine drinker so I stick with the chaos white, it's very sweet similar to a moscato. They have a pretty big selection for a winery and bottles of wine range from $22-$50 and for an extra $3 bucks you can get a bucket of ice that they will keep refilling all day. A wine glass costs $5 but if you don't want to keep it you can return it at the end of the day. They also brew their own beer and sell by the can and draft. They have a pretty big selection of food but you can bring snacks in too! Definitely want to try their food next time!

Beautiful! Probably one of my favorite MO wineries! As you walk to the main house, you feel like you are entering a palatial estate. I think it is the large, main house that you walk into that begins the feel of a different type of winery setting then other MO wineries. The house gives more of a cozy and welcoming feel. As soon as you walk in, the tasting room is to the left and a private party room to the right. My only complaint is the tasting room. First, It is located literally right as you walk into the door and is small, crowded and impedes the flow of traffic for those entering the building and makes tasting a bit stressful and cramped. A tasting is $5. You are given five wooden chips and one pour of your choice per chip. The pours were a bit stingy. The positive is that you most likely wont spend much time in the tasting room. You will most likely sample several wines, figure out the ones you like and head outside to purchase a bottle or two or three! Yes, their wine is pretty good! I enjoyed several - white: Radiance and Chardonel Reserve. Red: Cabernet Franc. The bottles and food are purchased on the patio outside. They have two windows to order and you give them your phone number and they text you when your food is ready. Bottles of wine and food are reasonably priced. Outside food is also allowed. No wine glass? No problem - pay a $5 deposit for a wine glass and it's up to you to take it home or turn it in for your money back. I liked this concept! I turned mine in for my deposit back because I did not need to add another wine glass to my collection! Wild Sun also has some delicious beer! Same concept with the beer glass. They have two sizes and you can pay a deposit and keep the glass or turn back in for your money. I was impressed - a winery that also does good beer! They offer a red and blonde ale and a porter. I usually don't like red ales, but several people recommended it, so I gave it a try and....WOW! The best red ale I have ever tasted! Creamy, smooth, balanced! Next time I will try the blonde and porter. What is the BEST part about Wild Sun you ask? The outdoor spaces!! Wow! Beautiful property! I love that they have plenty of seating, but the seating is broken up to smaller, divided areas so it doesn't feel crowded even though there were A LOT of people their on this beautiful Sunday. The divided spaces give more of a cozy, private feel. They also had a large covered pavilion for private parties. I am guessing you reserve this spot? The band was perfectly located in the center of all the outdoor seating and you could hear them very well no matter where you sat, but not too loud...perfect! You can also go further away from the outdoor seating and find a more private space on the lawn or by the lake. This winery is gorgeous and perfect in almost every way! The cherry on top? Uber and Lyft drop off AND pick up from here! Already looking forward to my next visit!

Came here after one of my patients told me about it. The drive to wild sun from stl is a beautiful one. There was plenty of seating (shaded, and non shaded), a band, and food. It was just my cousin and I but we ordered two bottles of wine. (Radiance, which is like a Pinot Grigio, and chaos white, similar to a moscato). Wine glasses are 5$ each, you can bring the glass back up and they will give you your 5$ back. But we decided to take the merch. They were out of cheese and sausage boxes but we could order a block of cheese, salami, and crackers separately, Which is what we did. Smoked Gouda, salami, and the wafer crackers were a perfect pairing with the wine. Staff was very friendly and informative when we were trying to select wines. Will be back!

Italian sausage pizza, so good!

Love this place! Great food, good wine and beer and wonderful staff and atmosphere. I recommend this place to anyone looking for a nice getaway for some outdoor fun. The staff went above and beyond when Mark offered me a room to feed my 7 week old baby in a private room upstairs in the AC. It was that extreme kindness that makes me want to go back. Thank you!

Beer not available on tap. Overpriced on most things. Can't buy wine by glass. Self serve you go to them.

The restaurant was very neat...an old horse barn with the stalls converted to booth seating. We…read morewere very excited to try some of the German food since we seem to have less and less of those and it was delicious. The woman that waited on us was very friendly and we were in and out in less than hour as we were trying to make the 12:30 tour so that made us happy. The tour was free and very interesting. We learned some very interesting things we had no idea about. I would recommend it if you are in the area.

I visited Stone Hill Winery yesterday, and while the property is beautiful, the service was…read moreextremely disappointing. When we walked in, we weren't greeted at all. Several other couples who arrived around the same time were welcomed immediately, but we were left standing there without any acknowledgment. It was uncomfortable and made us feel overlooked in a way no quest should experience. I can't say why we were treated differently, but the contrast was hard to ignore. Because of the lack of attention, we ended up buying only a few bottles- even though we originally planned to purchase two full cases. We also chose not to buy anything from the stores afterward, which is unusual for us, but the experience at the beginning made it difficult to fully appreciate the visit. For a winery with such a strong reputation, I expected a much more welcoming and inclusive atmosphere. This was a one- star experience for us, and we won't be returning.
