Holiday Open House

November 25-26, 2022

Relax with family and friends and enjoy a fantastic afternoon on the trail with award-winning Illinois wines. You can even start your holiday shopping early with great gifts along the trail. Avoid the long lines and crowds in town and find a gift for that hard to shop for person right here on the Shawnee Hills Wine Trail. Let the knowledgeable staff along the trail direct you towards a great bottle of wine, gift basket or gift card for friends, family, colleagues or yourself.

Each winery participates in our Holiday Open House event in a different way. Some have live music, appetizers and different sales throughout the weekend.

Wine & Whiskers P.A.W.S Benefit: November 1-30, 2022

Each of our member wineries will be collecting goods for our local animal control. We are proud to support our local, animal rescue in their tireless efforts to save pets’ lives. PAWS (Pets Are Worth Saving) plays a vital role in our community as they continuously work to reunite pets with their owners, shelter those in need and find new homes for animals that are lost or without a permanent home.

November 1st – 30th, we encourage you to bring a donation, to any of our member wineries, of dry or wet dog/cat food, durable dog/cat toys, milk bones (s/m/lg) or simply a cash donation to support these wonderful people in their cause. After all, one cannot live on wine alone… they also need a pet.
