Wineries

I llinois wine country has been a popular, and widening, spot on the map because of the growth in the winemaking industry and support of the local grape grower' booming businesses.

Thanks to support from the Illinois Grape and Wine Resources Council and the Illinois Grape Growers and Vintners Association, the state"s original five wineries of 1990 have blossomed to nearly ten times the number this year, with nearly fifty wineries producing their own special craft.
