I really enjoy coming to this winery because there are nice places to sit and enjoy your wine along with snacks. This specific time it was nice to sit outdoors, but in a covered area while the rain came down. Their service was great as always. read more

Lynfred Winery - Enjoying the covered outdoor patio - Wineries Near Me - Roselle, Illinois

Always enjoy a laidback tasting at Lynfred. The staff for the most part are fun and engaging. The winery itself is a neat setup with plenty of seating outside when it is nice out and bar seats throughout. Grab some meat and cheese and some wine and enjoy! read more

This was my first time visiting Lynfred, and the outside immediately caught my eye. The setting is really charming as you drive in alongside the venue. We went on a Saturday and had a great time. We did a tasting and gravitated toward the sweeter wines, which were enjoyable. We ended up purchasing their year-round Oktoberfest wine. If you prefer sweeter wines, this is a good spot for you. One thing to note is that they stop serving earlier than the posted closing time. At first, our server told us we only had 30 minutes for the tasting, so we felt a bit rushed. My husband asked again, and another staff member clarified that we actually had more time, which was a relief and allowed us to slow down and enjoy it. They provide breadsticks, and there are snacks available for purchase. I'm really looking forward to going back in the summer to enjoy the outdoor patio, which looks huge. The inside, however, felt smaller than expected. There are essentially two main rooms, plus a standing bar, a seated bar, a hallway with seating, and an exclusive members-only area. read more

We were surprised that the wine was very good. It was a beautiful setting for a wine tasting. We wish they had food service.

A delightful winery for the suburbs! I had a blast enjoying the tastings and light bites while catching up with a friend. They also offer tours if you are curious to learn more about their process. read more

We had a nice experience here on our anniversary! It has an old school vibe and its much bigger inside than it looks. My party did a tasting and tour here really enjoyed the behind the scenes workings. We loved the wines, so crowd faves were the hot wines ! My fave was the blackberry! read more

Such a wonderful day visiting Lynfred Winery! I didn't know that Lynfred existed but I had won a certificate for a wine tasting for 6 guests so we scheduled a visit. The staff was incredible. Matt took such good care of us! Charming space with great energy! We all enjoyed our wine flights and purchased some to bring home with us as well! I look forward to returning! read more

What a great winery and so close to Chicago! The building looks like a castle and the gorgeous woodwork throughout the inside is something to marvel at. They have a delicious selection of wines which you can either by as a glass, get 3 - 3oz flight, or 6 tastings. The employees are gracious and friendly and they have a delicious array of snacks, cheeses, bread, etc. to pair with your wine. read more

Pretty solid the place and it is a hidden gem on roselle. Have different areas to just sit down, just buy your cup or flight at the counter and sit whenever is comfortable. I went there in july and they were serving crisp wines for the hot summer so it was great. I did the tour, really interesting the story and enjoy the tour guide explaining how all this business started. Would try different wines on a different month to see what they can offer read more

The Lynfred Winery is a true suburban gem tucked away in Roselle near the main street businesses. It's an anchor when there are Roselle festivals, like Rose fest or Taste of Roselle. We recently returned to buy Christmas wines and gifts for hostess baskets or parties and the tasting room offers a fun opportunity to try a few wines and some new foods through food truck vendors. Tonight's vendor was delicious Filipino food. Check out their website for more future food truck days in 2024. I always love the Christmas spiced Red wine but wanted to try the white. This fragrant spiced wine is so good warm and is not too sweet. I loved the sparkling rose' too and bought a bottle of this crisp, dry, bubbly wine for the holidays. read more

We won a gift certificate to this winery in an auction for Give Kids the World Village. It was a really nice treat. The winery is located in the main street area of Schaumburg. There is plenty of parking on the side of the winery as well as behind it. The grounds are beautiful with plenty of both indoor and outdoor seating. We opted for a flight of three glasses of wine. I chose white and rose wines and my husband had the rose and fruit wines. They all tasted great. They also come with cheese and crackers, as well as bread sticks. Service was friendly and warm. read more

Finally came in to Lynfred for a visit and fell in love with it. Christina, thank you for the opportunity!! I came with 2 other girlfriends. We arrived around 3p and the place was busy! There were alot of people sitting out front at covered tables and one friendly couple helped direct us to the entrance. The winery itself is very welcoming and beautiful. You can tell its well kept and care is taken in its appearance. We did a mixture of tastings. Laura was helpful, funny and provided a joyful experience. When Laura stepped away from the bar, there was a young lady (no taller than 5'2, red-head or brunette, couldn't tell exactly) who stepped in and wasn't friendly at all and seemed to be bothered when we requested our next glass for tasting. :/ We did order the charcuterie box with different meats and cheeses to go along with our wine. It was tasty. My favorite wine was the Assemblage. It's a very smooth red with a tinge of sweetness. Despite the one staff member, I would go back. It's a beautiful escape from the city and was a great experience! read more

What a friendly staff! I was a little bit nervous initially walking in because I was in an area I did not know, and I could already tell there wasn't much diversity. Thankfully, I was greeted with smiles and continued to be helped. Overall pleasant experience. The wine was smooth, flavorful and good pricing. If I'm ever in the area again, I would recommend. Beautiful space. read more

How ironic - a five-star review of a winery for a guy who doesn't even drink wine! My wife and I stopped by while on vacation, since we got a certificate through a charity auction. From looking at reviews, it appears that the winery does support quite a few charitable endeavors, which is laudable. I love the vibe of this place! There are plenty of seating options both inside and out, covered and uncovered to enjoy wine, cheese, meats, etc. They seem to have quite an active following, as the location was busy on the weekend (plenty of parking), but not too busy to enjoy. There's also a nice selection of retail items available, wine-themed and other fruit oriented. The service was so friendly, as I've not been to a winery in years, and wasn't exactly sure what the experience would be like. If you're in the area, this is a beautiful place to visit, sit and enjoy wine and snacks for a while and soak in the calming environment. read more

Nice quaint family feel winery. All staff were very nice and friendly (Sarah you were great)! Best wine options I have experienced for a selection of sweet wines so this time of year was great for those options. Spiced Apple is a hit. Room is available for big groups or table or bar seating for smaller groups. Offers outside seating as well as a Bed and Breakfast. read more

Our family was on vacation in Chicago, so my husband and I decided to visit some nearby wineries, starting with Lynfred. The building is gorgeous, and the staff is helpful and friendly. We decided to do a three-wine tasting each. I sampled the Viognier 2020, Sparkling Peach, and Red Sangria. I loved the Viognoir and ended up purchasing that and a bottle of the Riesling. The building is gorgeous, so I highly recommend that you take the time to walk around and take some photos. My only complaint about our visit is that the tasting menu is so limited. I wish that the Vignoles, Riesling, and some others were included. That being said we thoroughly enjoyed our visit and hope to return in the future. I highly recommend that you stop in to give their wines a try. Whether you have a palate for dry wines, sweet or semi-sweet, Lynfred has an enjoyable selection just for you. Cheers! read more

Stopped in on a Friday afternoon for a glass of wine. Super cute decor almost makes you feel like you're in Napa! I had a glass of the Pinot noir, it was light but full of flavor. They do not have a huge list for wines by the glass. Only certain wines are available. They do have a huge selection for purchase by the bottle. We ordered at the bar and sat inside. Our wine server was super nice and provided a plethora of information on the wines. Would definitely return. read more

I had a great time wine tasting at Lynfred Winery. Paid ~16 for a wine tasting of 6 different wines. They offer a couple different options varied by glass, flight, or tasting but the portions and wine are said to be the same. The staff is kind and helpful. The ambiance there is very mature and classical. They have a bar area and extra tables for seating. Walking deeper in you are able to see the equipment used for their wine keeping and also have access to some extra seating and a separate room for members only. They had comfortable outdoor seating with heaters. Recommend it if you are looking for a chill night out. read more

Beautiful location and great wine . It feels like a little get away . The service was great and there was a variety of snacks to accompany the wine . Will be back read more

Delighted to pop by for a glass of vino, try a new vintage and pick up our monthly order. The Lynfred Winery is a feature of the community as a gathering space and winery, sourcing grapes and turning them into elegant and sumptuous sips. Often, you will see folks gathering from after work, a holiday food truck event, a place to bring the dog by with a friend or some reader with a glad pour -- a must visit! read more

So I got in trouble for bringing my 6-week old baby to meet some friends on the front lawn area on a sunny afternoon, because I guess they don't allow guests under 21 including infants. But what's weird is that even though the restroom is pretty small, they had a changing table! I've also heard that the membership program is only decent. It's got such a cute antique vibe but we probably will not return for a while. read more

How can I not love this place when it's walking distance from my house :) honestly we love Lynfred and now my husband and I are part of the 4 club membership (which is just double the price of the 2 bottle). I suggest joining the wine club if you are in the area! The wine tasting/glasses of wine are great for just a starter on your night out! They do close earlier so I suggest visiting before venturing out to the rest of downtown Roselle! They have a few snack items but no " food food". Their bread is AMAZING!!!! So get it before it sells out!!!! read more

We have tasted wine all over the world, but we always come back to Lynfred. We enjoy all of their wines, by the glass, bottle or as flights. We love their Ruby Red port as well. We have enjoyed special events. With a purchase, you even get a change to win free wine. We have stayed in every room in the Bed and Breakfast and have always been blown away with the service and experience. The winery is beautiful, lots of character. The staff are all wonderful. They have cute gifts to purchase as well. We live out of the area, and even have wine shipped to us. This is a must visit whenever we are in the Chicago area. read more

I have visited Lynfred almost monthly for over a year and every visit has been amazing. The employees are ALWAYS so kind, having all the information you could need while always smiling! The wine is amazing (I have yet to taste one I didn't like!) and the home-made bread is a must-have! recently had a birthday gathering here and Christina was so much help in ensuring I had all of the information needed to have a good event! Matt delivered an amazing cellar tour - he is so knowledgeable and fun! The atmosphere makes you feel as though you have teleported out of Roselle to somewhere much more relaxing and beautiful! I highly recommend checking it out! read more

My wife & I had a great time here. I did the red flight which was a nice variety, and a cheese/meat/grape box to pair; definitely a nice snack. It's 21+ and I see why...I'm unsure why some folks believe every single establishment needs to accommodate children. Some places are just not suited for them. No disrespect, it's just an observation, but it's also not a negative point. We grabbed a small table outside to enjoy our tasting, then took a short walk around to admire the area. Pretty sure my wife has decided to staycation at the B&B so there's something to look forward to. It was clearly a great experience overall. The plan is to be back in the fall or as soon as we're back in the area, I'm very glad we checked them out. read more

As wineries go, this is my favorite. I've seen the business grow over the last 30 years. The wines are high quality and the prices are well in line with what you pay in SW Michigan wineries. It's worth being a wine club member! read more

Denied a tasting with my husband because our SEVEN WEEK OLD daughter was with us. I can completely understand not letting toddlers or bigger kids to stay but an infant, in a car seat - absolutely not. Will not be coming back and letting my mom friends know their ridiculous policy. I also loved that we were never even greeted when we came in, just a look of distain and then told we couldn't do the tasting because of our INFANT being with us. read more

Stopped by yesterday for a glass. We were members for years, so it was kind of a nostalgic trip. Wine is still great. Service was very sterile. Used to be very friendly and inviting. Wine was solid as always, but I was shocked to see all of the red were priced the same and pretty steeply. We've had tons of wine from here over the years, and they very in quality. To price them all the same is kind of a joke. Will go back for memories and a glass, but not much else. read more

We went to the founders room on a Saturday and had an incredible charcuterie and wine tasting experience!

Visiting Lynfred Winery was an absolute amazing experience! To celebrate my birthday I booked the Founders' Room/ Experience and this was by far the best two hours of my weekend! We were granted a table in the Founders' Room from 2p-4p. The room was bright, elegant, and very intimate which I loved. In this experience Jennifer was our hostess/server and she was GREAT! Jennifer was very knowledgeable of the wines, and guided us though the tasting process. She got us started with rosé, charcuterie boards, and fresh baked rolls with home made butter. The charcuterie board was filled with fresh fruits, dried fruits, a very rich chocolate truffle, savory meats and the best cheese I have ever had. I really wish they sold that home made butter as well! Everything was so yummy. In addition to the charcuterie board, fresh rolls, and rosè (to cleanse our palate) Jennifer guided us through the tasting process were we chose 3 additional wines and finished with a dessert wines. I believe it is a rotating menu so the wines we tried may no be worth mentioning however, we LOVED the 2018 Chardonnay and actually ended up buying two bottles to take with us to go. I loved the eloquence of the Founders' Room, the intimacy in the experience and all the knowledge that Jennifer provided with the wine and pairings. This was a great experience and I cannot wait to get back! read more

What a wonderful oasis of calm and grace in Roselle! We've been members for the 15 years that we've lived in the area, have met our best friends here, have spent many wonderful moments here. Such as today--just decided on a whim to go on an afternoon date, for a wine tasting in the middle of the day. People in the area who don't know about Lynfred are totally missing out! The two vintners, Andras and Rodrigo, are from Chile, and work amazing rings around red grapes (our faves!)! Do come check this amazing place out! read more

Lynfred Winery - Tasting wine outside Lynfred on a perfect day with my wonderful hubby! It doesn't get any better than this! - Wineries Near Me - Roselle, Illinois

*** HIGHLY RECOMMEND *** My husband and I arrived at Lynfred on a gorgeous 70-degree sunny day, at 3:30 p.m. on a Saturday, to meet up with friends for a tasting before dinner.  It was the perfect time to go.   We got a parking spot smack dab in front of the main door.  Awesome start to the evening! ***TIP:  Check in on Yelp when you arrive, and get a free baguette loaf (or $3 to purchase).  We arrived before our friends, so we walked around the tasting rooms, and looked at all the wine bottles, gadgets, glasses, etc. along the walls.  The fermenting room has gorgeous stained glass windows.  Unfortunately, we didn't get to see the downstairs or upstairs (which I believe is the B&B) and private tasting rooms. The winery (mansion) is gorgeous inside and out, and if you're not interested in doing a full tasting, just grab a glass and sit outside on the porch.  Everyone behind the bar was friendly, helpful and attentive.  It wasn't overcrowded when we arrived, so we were immediately able to grab a nice spot at the bar.   For $11, you get 7 tastings.  I'd say they were maybe 2 oz. pours?  Whatever it was, it was more than enough for me. They offered us a bowl of bread to share in between wines.   My friend and I normally only like sweet wines, but the top two whites on the tasting menu were actually good - not too dry.  The apricot, blackberry and strawberry were my absolute favorites.  The strawberry smelled/tasted just like strawberry jam.  I snagged a bottle before leaving.  They have delicious sweet breads and savory loafs for purchase.  There were a couple of samples set out to try, and they were delish.  But, I don't believe you can purchase any other food in the tasting rooms. The fruit wine membership is only $11/month. Score!  You get 1 bottle (savings of about $4-5 off the normal bottle price), and I believe you get one tasting a month for free. (?)  I didn't sign up...yet. THE B&B: While it's $395/night to stay here, I was told that wine club members get 5% off the B&B rate.  And if I'm not mistaken, the percentage increases the longer you're a member.  You also get 2 bottles of wine and a charcuterie board of tasty treats included in that price.  You could easily spend that amount (without the goodies!) at other B&Bs. We will definitely be back for another tasting in the fall, and to check out their events throughout the year. read more

Went with my friend back in the fall. Beautiful seating outdoor and indoor. Wine was delicious and we enjoyed it with some chocolate. Highly recommend for a girls' day out or a date. For those complaining about infants not being allowed in anymore, this is not the kind of establishment that children should be brought to in the first place. Just my opinion though. read more

A few of us came here early on a Friday afternoon for a wine tasting and some girl time. Overall, we had a great time together on account of the tasty wine and fun company, but there were definitely some things that could have improved our experience. The good: we found parking easily during the time we went, but we came when there were not a ton of other people there, so I could see how it might be a problem during busy hours. The property itself (what we saw of it-exterior, bathrooms, bar at entry, gift shop area) was lovely and obviously kept up nicely. Very clean. The wines we tasted were delicious for the most part, with the majority of us liking more wines than we didn't. In fact, I don't think any of us walked away without at least one bottle of wine. They do not accept tips there. Rather, you can contribute money to a charity (a different one selected each month); I thought this was a very lovely idea. Their gift shop was extensive and they had many neat offerings; if I lived closer I would absolutely keep them in mind for hostess gift needs. Finally, they offered self-serve water & samples of their bread to try with your tasting. This is not only smart on their part (because their breads are delicious and we ended up buying some to take home), but also a very nice touch that many other places do not offer. The less than good: we were greeted somewhat when we came in, but everyone seemed to be in the middle of something or uninterested in greeting us. It would have been helpful to have a more informative greeting (e.g. "Welcome, we're happy to have you...what brings you here today?...interested in a tasting, here's what you do...) Self-sufficient people that we were though, we bellied up to the bar and figured it out pretty quickly. The tasting itself and the people who did the tasting were a little disjointed. On one hand, the majority of wines we tasted were great. On the other, the system they used to keep track of what we were drinking and the discussion about the wine was mixed. Sometimes nothing at all was said about the wine, and during one pour the person serving us was very pretentious about it. In my experience, a tasting is typically much more organized and some information about the winery is provided at the outset, if at the very least just to buy some time while they set out glasses. Further, whomever is conducting it usually asks if anyone has been there, if you're a wine drinker, etc., which I think also helps the person gauge how much actual information to provide. In any event, this was not really done and although it didn't take away from our particular experience, it might be the difference between someone returning or not, who knows. They also never rinsed our glasses, which I thought was odd. This review is from our experience from a few years ago, so my hope is that their customer service experience has since improved. Even if it hasn't, it's still worth it to check out yourself. Cheers! read more
