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.

We got slushed at StarView!…read more I'm a huge huge fan of wine slushies and because of this, StarView was recommended as one of our stops on the trail. This winery was hopping when we got there but were greeted immediately upon walking into their main room. We both got the slushies and settled in on their gorgeous deck over looking a gorgeous lake. The only thing missing was live music but we were too early for it. Tastings are $5 and they do have a food menu that we noticed looked pretty good from what people were ordering.

We visited StarView on a Saturday afternoon in March as part of the Shawnee Hills Wine Trail. The…read morelocation is nice. There is a large indoor area and a huge back patio partly covered/partly uncovered overlooking a small pond that provides a nice lively but pretty setting in which to enjoy your wine. The parking lot is right out front. They allow you to bring in food and do permit dogs on-leash. When we entered, we saw lots of rather typical wine merchandise to buy. We were hoping to have wine flights outside on the patio, but they only do flights inside at the walk-up bar. Instead, we had a couple of small tastes and picked a bottle of wine to bring out back on the patio. There was a live band performing which was nice. Lots of seating and an energetic vibe. We enjoyed our wine as well. You have the option to either keep your wine glasses as a souvenir or return them to get your deposit back.

First time coming here, this was the only place I checked out in the area just because I know this…read moreis the only place to has hard cider. Owl Creek Vineyard has 10 hard ciders to choose from and it has some sangria too which is a bonus. Staff here was not really too friendly and their food was pretty expensive which is probably the only reason why I'm subtracting a star. A lot of other people like to dine outside and I can see why because then scenery out there is pretty beautiful especially by the little river where you can see the train go by. Parking isn't too bad either so going up that hill is a little bit treacherous upon entering. The ciders were pretty good though nothing stood out to me as the best flavor ever but they were good nonetheless. We enjoyed seeing the Cat come by . Restrooms were pretty clean too. Overall, I really enjoyed coming here and if I ever come back over here I would come back again to The Owl Creek Vineyard.

For my friend group, this is the favorite vineyard on the Shawnee wine trail! They have a wide…read morevariety of wine and cider. There is also food for purchase (and they allow you to bring your own picnic food as well). The space is large and relaxed with seating indoors and outside (several levels behind their building). We enjoyed our tasting flights on the top covered, shaded patio. You are able to mix wine and cider in a flight. They have lots of different cider flavors and they are all gluten-free. The servers were friendly and knowledgeable. You may want to bring your growler to take cider home - they were sold out of cans on our visit.
