    Great wine
    This is one of my favorite wineries. We come here every time we are in Effingham. I always bring home a few bottles. You can’t go wrong going here.

    An amazing day
    My Fiancé and I visited together for our first time together and the cross was so big and beautiful…I won’t tell too much about it because I think the experience is even better up close and personal. You get a history of it and when it was built. It’s a must visit site…I also went axe throwing and that was really fun. I think anyone would enjoy this small town…seems cozy and welcoming.

    Great place
    I love the trec trail. It is so peaceful and relaxing. Like to go there with my dog. Occasionally, we get to see deer when we walk. There are nice benches set out if you need to rest as well.

    Nice venue
    First time at this location. We saw Kansas. Seats were comfortable, and acoustics were good. Sight lines from most seats appear good. Concessions prices were not outlandish. Only caveat; there is currently a mask rule in Illinois, staff was wearing theirs, but 90% of the attendees were not.

    Great experience!
    Great food, cold beer, and great service. Reviews looked good so we tried it. We were just passing through and staying one night. Bummer though, would have certainly gone back if we weee there for another night!

    Fun to Browse
    We weren't sure what to expect, but it was fun to see top of the line kitchen items that, while outside of our price range, were beautiful and nice dream material

    Small collection but worth a stop if you have nothing else to do
    If you have nothing else to do in Effingham, Illinois, stop by. The collection isn't huge and many cars are partly restored. Its free/free will donation, so nothing lost but a few minutes if you don't like it.

    Adorable place! We stop every time we are In Effingham!
    We stopped here on our way through town going home for Christmas. It’s certainly worth a stop to look around. A few homemade things a few antiques just a little something to enjoy a few minutes.

    Wine Bar PLUS
    Met my sister for a little wine before dinner. While we were there we met some very nice people who told us we could order from the Mexican restaurant in the building and they would serve us at the wine bar. Not only was the wine, the service, and atmosphere great, we decided to stay and order from the restaurant. It was amazing as well. I definitely recommend to try both. You won't be disappointed.

    Great place to take the great grandkids.
    Little hard for great grandma but easier for the kids.
    Easy place to find. It's by the city swimming pool.
