I cannot believe how few reviews there are for this charming winery! My husband and I were headed…read moreout to the lake and thought we'd stop by whatever nearby winery we could find. We did not go in expecting much since there was a serious lack of reviews. What we found was a small winery/brewery that was beyond adorable. There were two really well kept buildings, the tasting room for wine and the micro-brew pub. We couldn't help trying both. The wine was perhaps a bit sweet for my taste, but it is Missouri wine after all. The beer selection was top-notch and everything was tasty. Prices were extremely reasonable and there was a cute outdoor patio with a wrap-around bench and a fire pit that was very nice. The staff was amazing! We were there on a harvest day, so there were quite a few people wandering around that had been involved in picking the grapes. Everyone was super friendly and had us feeling like family in no time. This review is only four stars and not five because this winery lacked the expansive view of so many others around town.

I love trying new things, its nice to do so with no pressure. The vibes are nothing like anything in Jeffco and the back deck would be great for a shower or party. The prices are low for the quality and creativity of the beverages. The place is definitely accessible for all & the bathrooms are so cute! Its amazing to have a community space that is open so late for the area. 12am on weekends is almost unheard of anymore. My friends love it and can't wait for more events to show up to the space. I really hope this place catches on really turns into the community hub we so desperately need. Food is pending until 2026. They do encourage bringing snacks or carry out. They are walking distance from Cheesesteaks, The Corner Cup, Pine Mountain, Gordon's Stoplight, they have Pogalino's carry out menus on the bar. They also, have chip & popcorn selection.

This place started out as a house that they bought at an auction to get away from the city and fish on the weekends. Poor Michelle and Kathy can't even tell you the last time they got to go fishing. This place evolved more out of necessity. Two sisters bought the place and slowly turned it into a tasting room. At first they only focused on Illinois wines, and they still only have Illinois wines. Next they added micro brews. Yesterday they had 8 different beers on tap, plus bottles of domestic beers. The food menu is limited, because they don't really have an industrial sized kitchen. They offer a cheese plate, which is very tasty. Yesterday I had the bruschetta, OMG delicious and bonus the tomatoes were grown in their own garden at the Courtyard. They have expanded the courtyard and added a room (which was originally an old barn) Next season they are going to start making their own wines. This place is nestled right on the Kaskaskia River. They are only open on the weekends Friday night through Sunday night. This time of the year, they have a fire pit going, and this is free of charge. The locals bring then wood. You will enter as a stranger but leave as a friend. This is must see place.

I have to admit.... Even though the tast was good.... They just did not have a Wow factor. Both are drinks look the same even though they are 2 different ones. The only way to tell the difference is the Cherry in the Cherry Sour! I did get a Samoa cookie for my Samoa drink. The good thing is these drinks are very very reasonable prices for specialty cocktails.

Spacious patio, charming interior and a variety of beer and mixed drinks to please every palate. You can even bring in food from local restaurants and enjoy with a pint of beer. I recommend The Burnt End Micasa sandwich shop. When we stopped in on Friday, they had a special, 13 bucks for a pitcher of beer (except IPA). Love this place.

For where it is and what it offers, it's great!…read more Really enjoyed the setting, but this was very much about the friends I was with. The food was fine. The pizza was fine, but definitely not cooked either long enough or in a hot enough oven. The beers are quite nice. Their seasonals are always interesting and I've had some really amazing ones here. Their year rounds brews are solid, including a rice-based lager. This is also known as "Villa Antonio Winery", I am definitely not basing this rating on the wine. It's your typical awful Missouri vintages. The labels on the bottles give you an indication of how bad it's going to be. The staff is small and often overwhelmed, but they all try their damndest to serve. Go for the beer!

Worth the trip! I…read morewas first introduced to Sand Valley Brewing at the Best of MO Market last fall in STL. After sampling some of their beers, I added their taproom to my list of my places I must go. We finally made it out that way last weekend - and OMG! I am so glad we did. Their beers are delightful. They have something for everyone's taste. They offer flights to try a variety of their brews - which I love! I dabbled in a flight of the Apricot Fruited Sour, Dunkel with Meadowfoam Honey, Hazy IPA w/ Chardonel Grape Juice, and a Porter with Belizean Cacao Husk + Tanzanian Vanilla Beans. I really appreciate the incorporation of such natural flavors and ingredients in the brewing! The flavors were delightful. My husband opted for the Rice Lager as he is more of your classic Pilsner guy. He enjoyed his beer too! The food was also delicious! We couldn't help but finish off the entire pizza & wings between the two of us. The wings were juicy yet crispy on the outside and the sauce - so flavorful! The pizza was cooked to perfection and so yummy. The bartender who took our orders was also outstanding! He was so personable and really helped make our visit complete. He provided us with great information about the place and each brew. He also was a great resource of the area - he gave us directions to a pretty little close drive as we wanted to go somewhere outdoors to kill some time while we waited for friends. Also to mention, the brewery shares space with Villa Antonio Winery. We, of course, had to share a little wine flight as well for the whole experience! The wine was remarkable and made onsite with local Missouri grapes. Highly recommend a visit!

The interior has an interesting, welcoming vibe. There were regular tables, but a couple couches for comfortable seating. We saw they also had some games in a corner that you could play while eating or drinking. There's also an outdoor patio and it looks like they were setting up to have live music later that evening. We ordered a flight of beers, and thoroughly enjoyed each of the different ones. We also got some pizza, which was really good. Before leaving, we checked out the downstairs speakeasy room, which can be reserved for parties. I am sad that this restaurant is too far from me, because I would love to host a birthday party there. I definitely recommend checking this place out, and if we drive through again, I plan on stopping!
