Orlandini Vineyard began its roots in 1988, the first vines were planted. Over two decades later the grapes are still flourishing. Orlandini Vineyard is located on one of southern Illinois' highest ridge tops, deep in the heart of the Shawnee A.V.A. After years of practice and experimentation in wine making, Orlandini Vineyard began releasing wines to the the public in 2001. Novices and connoisseurs have been enjoying our hand tended vintages ever since.

Orlandini offers five equally wonderful and irresistible tastes:

2005 Chamourcin - This estate wine is lightly oaked, creating a silky, medium-bodied red. the earthy savor is enhanced by vanilla and vanilla and berry.

2005 Chambourcin & Cabernet Franc - A European style dry red blend that provides a full, long finish. the aroma of smoky, toasted oak swirls around flavors of dark chocolate.

2007 Traminette - A perfectly balanced crisp and spicy semi sweet white wine capturing the signature floral nose of a German varietal.

2007 White Chambourcin - Quickly removing the skins from the grapes early in the wine making process turns regular red grapes to an exciting blush. This semi sweet wine has notes of cherry and other spring berries.

2005 Vignoles - This grown sweet Vignoles has a bouquet that bursts with rich, exotic fruits aromas. the tastes of pineapple and apricot are complemented with a hint of honey.
