Our winemaking began in 2004 and is influenced by the German heritage of the farming families who settled in this part of Illinois. We have been told of several wineries that flourished here prior to the Prohibition. At Hidden Lake Winery, our goal is to offer a variety of wines that will satisfy many different palates. Our wines are produced with locally-grown fruit and bottled here in our cellar. Guests can enjoy a glass of wine (or other beverage if desired) in a tranquil setting with old friends, or perhaps with new ones.
