COVID-19 Winery Operations
Welcome Back! In response to COVID-19, our Shawnee Hills Wine Trail wineries have new ways to serve you. We know that your experiences with us will be different at this time, but they will still be great.
While the new phase of re-opening allows inside seating at limited capacity, many of our wineries will remain open for outside seating only. Click Here to see the most up-to-date business hours and winery operations.
Please know that our family businesses and liquor licenses depend on everyone following the rules at this time. We are not only welcoming you back to our winery, but, in many cases, are welcoming you into our homes as well.
We’ve missed you so much and appreciate your patience and loyalty, today and every day. Cheers!

About The
Shawnee Hills
Wine Trail
In the summer of 1995, the owners of the first three wineries in southern Illinois, Alto Vineyards, Pomona Winery and Owl Creek Vineyard recognized the untapped tourism potential of the region. With help from our local tourism bureaus and hard work from a passionate group of wine growers, the Shawnee Hills Wine Trail became the first wine trail in the state of Illinois. Today, over 20 years later, we look forward to continued growth and many more years of sharing our passion with you.
Set among the scenic countryside, we invite you to visit the Shawnee Hills Wine Trail of southern Illinois. Enjoy the distinctive character of each of our wineries, charming towns that dot the trail, unique local restaurants and a region rich in history. Be sure to give yourself an extra day or more to discover new adventures that present themselves along the way.
