November 28-29, 2025

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.
