We just finished a tour! Our guide was awesome and went above and beyond! She was kind enough to bring a blanket for us to sit on at Starview since it was busy! She helped plan our trip based on live music! She was even kind enough to take various pictures of us at each location! We will be using this service again.

We used Winery Tours of Southern Illinois this weekend and could not have been more pleased! I interacted with Heidi the entire time and she was also our driver. She was punctual, very friendly and engaging with our group, she let us play music that we wanted and she kept us on track as we went around to different wineries & brewery. Heidi made this an awesome experience for us & I can't recommend them enough!

My children treated me to a winery tour for my 75th birthday on Saturday, June 18th. We used this service. It was as good as it could get! Fred was our host and driver. We had a great time! If you are in doubt, go for it. We met his wife, Heidi, at one of the stops and I am sure she would be just as good.

    We recommend staying hydrated and snacking throughout the day to maintain a comfortable and enjoyable experience.

  • What happens if the weather is bad on the day of my tour?

    Please dress appropriately for the weather and wear comfortable shoes for walking between tasting rooms.
