About the Wine Trail...
The
Shawnee Hills Wine Trail wineries are located in Jackson and Union
Counties in southern Illinois. All ten award-winning wineries are just
a few minutes from each other. Enjoy nine unique and different wineries
on a day trip or spread out over a long weekend. Eight of the wineries
offer picnic areas for you to bring along picnic baskets and enjoy your
lunch or snacks with an award-winning southern Illinois wine.
Hedman Vineyards offers Swedish Cuisine in their Peach Barn Cafe'.
You
can start the trail from either end, or jump on somewhere
in the middle. Rolling hills and picturesque vistas are the
backdrop for the various vineyards and wineries along the
way. The Shawnee National Forest provides some of the most
beautiful scenery in the Midwest. There are several Bed &
Breakfast establishments along the way as well as antique
shops to round out a weekend trip.
