    a sign for honker hill winery

    Our favorite wines on the trail!! I know this is a little further from the other wineries, but absolutely worth the stop. We did a tasting with every wine and sangria (loved that was an option) - all soo good. It was hard to narrow down what to buy. Really enjoyed the sangria to go option as well. The outdoor space is beautiful, wish we were there during the music performance. Great staff made it a 5 star experience!

    My favorite wine and my favorite kid.

    We have visited here many times. This is the first time since Covid. They did not disappoint. We missed the entertainment because of prior obligations but the scenery and music they play is enough entertainment for anyone. We came late so we brought our own munchies and enjoyed a bottle of wine. I discovered that sushi and Eclipse wine pairs beautifully. We savored the pickled ginger and wine together. Amazing! The owner is friendly and walks around making sure everyone is taken care of. They have misters and sun shades to keep everyone cool and comfortable. This venue is perfect for small gatherings and larger parties. Decor is tasteful with a hunting motif. The Eclipse wine is my personal favorite but all are good. Perfect for a date or family. A must see if in the area.

    We stumbled upon this gem while trying to find a different winery. We loved it here. The owner was wonderful and so was the Scenery. We will head back before we leave to sit and have a glass of wine and enjoy the beautiful outdoor space.

    I'm just back from knocking around Cobden and Southern Illinois, wandering aimfully I like to say…read more Others ballyhoo Yellow Moon Cafe, and well they should. If only every village of 1150 folks could have such a place (and only one letter short of YMCA). My desire is more to promote visiting Cobden in a general way. I met the now ex-mayor a couple years ago, an old, feisty progressive named Molly Beckley. Cool enough, but it's where I met her that excites. It was a P'urhepecha in the town-long park bordering the train tracks. That's a cultural celebration that comes from Cheran in Michoacan, Mexico. People from there have come to this area for years to harvest peaches and apples. Now they infuse the place with Hispanic life and, as the ex-mayor wisely saw, tax dollars so welcome in a struggling town. Of course the Peach Festival is still more famous. Then there's the museum. Rumor has it some avid collector's wife finally had enough - "But, dear, you already have an arrowhead" - so the guy ended up decluttering the house and starting a museum. It's right next door to the Mexican grocery. In addition to all the things in all the little museums, it has a jawdropping collection of Kirkpatrick pottery from just down the road in Anna. Oh, sure, there are presentation pig flasks and pipe bowls destined for sales to southern slaves, but it's sections of ceramic funeral markers and chimneys that really do the jaw-drop. And for those longtime Illinois natives, yes, it was the Cobden Appleknockers who won a state high school boys' basketball championship back in 1964. Do drop by when you can.

    When we booked the entire property(mansion, barn and grounds) 2+ years in advance we were elated…read more The tour of the mansion and the property were beautiful. We had also been to a few events at the property before touring it. 9 days before our event(wedding), the owners tried to cancel. 5 days before our event, the owner asked if a man we did not know could share space in the mansion with our wedding crew. The day we check in at the property the barn was not ready. It was dirty and we had to clean it. We also had to place all the tables and chairs that the owners said they would set up per the contract. Every single chair was covered in filth. The owners did not properly clear the snow either. The day of our event the owner kept inserting themselves into our guests and networking. They were also seen taking photos during the ceremony. The guests were facing the owner when they took the photos. The electric service in the barn is not capable of running 3 roasters. We asked about this before planning to use them for the meal; we were told it'll work just fine. It did not. After the lights went out(during reception) my husband, an electrician, looked the service over and said there was no way the roasters could stay on. Due to the owners not clearing the snow properly we had 5 guests get stuck while trying to leave. Going back to when we checked in; Rhonda told us to call her if we needed anything. We dialed her several times and she never answered. I had to go physically find her. There was also a trailer parked right where everyone would walk past to get to the barn. It was loaded up with dead appliances, a used mattress and cardboard boxes. An absolute eyesore. There were also two vehicles parked out there to die as well. Two dead lawn mowers in the tree line too. None of these issues were present when we booked. Everything was pristine and stunning. Inside the mansion the bathrooms were not clean. Toilets had murky water and mold growing in the bowls. There were also dead insects everywhere. As long as Rhonda and Bryan are in charge of the property, I do not recommend Historic Bell Hill. It is such a shame for such a grand property to be ill managed.

    We attended a wedding a week ago for my brother and his wife. The grounds were beautiful, but the…read morevenue was not equipped for an indoor reception and did not provide day of wedding coordination or hospitality. The barn was not equipped for cold temperatures and the venue did nothing to rectify this. The previous reviews were from the former owners. I cannot recommend this venue based on our experience and the lack of service, especially if you are planning a wedding in late autumn through early spring. The venue is not at all prepared for cold temperatures.
