Just a really beautiful Vineyard. I really love the view from the deck of the Coy Pond. Good selection of wines as well.

plenty of outdoor patio space to social distance properly and I love that everyone was properly wearing a mask while inside. also, the food & wine was delicious read more

This is probably my favorite stop on the Southern Illinois Wine Trail. An incredibly charming building, a great patio, and a banquet room. The tasting room is friendly, and they are knowledgeable. There is a small cafe menu that is great. Some pulled pork, chicken salad and some other snacks. All great, I love the pasta salad. My good friends had their wedding here a few years ago. Now I can't remember exactly what they prepared for the meal. Though prime rib (if I remember correctly), fresh awesome salads were great. The wines are great. It is a couple of bucks to taste everything. The wines available rotate. Though my favorite is the Riesling. Amazing. They also have a cooler with a few good micro brews. Always a nice touch for me. An awesome spot. read more

Me: What kind of wine are you guys known for here? Worker: Our wine slushies. Instant love! Don't hate on the wine slushies, you wine-o's! You're in Southern Illinois, so woman up and down a large glass of that stuff. read more

I went on a road trip to Memphis recently and I knew Southern Illinois had a few wineries, though I learned it's more than a few...they have an entire wine trail! Yes, this is going to be a trip of it's own in the future... Anyway, we're passing signs along 57 and I knew our return trip would be visitng just one so I said "That's the one!" StarView...I liked the name, and the logo. Yeah, I pick my wineries like I pick my horses at the track I guess! So off to StarView we went... it looked like we pulled up to someone's house. We walked inside to an empty tasting room but the girl waiting on us was friendly and just adorable. They have free tastings during the week - Score! At first she picked a few off the list, then we decided to just try them all!!! Minus the wine slushies, though we could try them if we wanted to. I ended up purchasing the "Red Giant" which is semi-dry. We sampled the mulled warm wine and it was made with this one. I also purchased the seasoning packet to make the mulled wine for a total of $20 even. I would say most of the wines here were tasty...the sangria too so if you're heading out for one or ALL of the wineries, definitely stop here, this place is a charm. read more

Excellent service, excellent wine! We are from CT and this vineyard surpasses our expectations! A must for any wine enthusiast! read more

StarView Vineyards - Beautiful view! - Wineries Near Me - Cobden, Illinois

Nice winery with knowledgeable taste host (Steven). The tasting bar could use stools or at least a foot bar for comfort. This would make tasters feel less rushed at any location. Star View has a pleasant deck with large fans to help with Southern Illinois' hideous giant flies, mosquitoes and humidity. Try the sangria slushy though nothing here helps make the inside tables/chairs more comfortable and they need Wi-Fi. read more

StarView Vineyards - Taste Host Steven - Wineries Near Me - Cobden, Illinois

This winery seems to be more relaxed on the traditional wine rules such as you must try reds then whites and dry to sweet. I liked the wines because they had a lot of uniques flavors without a strong after taste as some wines do read more

We were pleasantly surprised at the variety and quality of wines. It's a bit odd during these COVID 19 days, but we managed to find a couple of varietals to add to our collection. Friendly atmosphere and people who could answer most of our questions. read more

We arrived about 45 minutes before some sort of event. We just wanted to go in and try some wine and leave. We knew we would probably only be there for about 20 minutes. There were teenagers directing people for parking that really didn't know what was going on. With that be said. The wine was very good and the grounds were very pretty read more

Customer service is not what I would expect of a winery. In addition, could not return my glass deposit on a credit card. I will not be back. read more

This place is great. Awesome wine, sangria and slushies! The people are all great and they warm up and feel just like family. Beautiful down home scenery. It's not the fanciest winery around but the kind hearts and great wine won me over! read more

Starview Winery is one of a long list of wineries in Southern Illinois, but it is one of the better ones. They have a few good wines - mostly the white varieties. They also have a great outdoor area with a cool cat roaming around. read more

Watch out for the wine glass policy. Which they don't tell you..because when I return my glass they didn't say anything until I said something.i think the girls our making some extra money! Otherwise wine was good. read more

Not only does this winery have an amazing little scenery while sitting on the patio but they also serve WINE SLUSHIES!!! Yes, you read that correctly wine slushies and they are absolutely amazing. We will be making it back to this little gem. read more

Great little winery in Souther Illinois. Recently stopped in with a group of friends (on a wine weekend). Met two of the nicest women serving us. Due to the extremely hot day, several of us chose a Sangria...both red and white varieties were the best! Cannot wait to stop back next time we visit. read more

We stopped here during our wine trail tour vacation, and it was probably our favorite! It was a Friday afternoon and the girl doing tastings was so friendly! She let us taste most all of their sweet wines at no charge. We tended to like the sweet/semi sweet wines. We ended up buying about 4 bottles... And now that we find they don't sell/shop their wines to Missouri, wish we bought MORE! :D The view from the deck was amazing and peaceful and they let us bring our picnic basket out there and relax. I do recommend their sangria, it tasted great on an October afternoon! We will definitely stop back in and stock up next time we come for vacation! read more

Great place to visit. .best place to see an amazing sunset on the trail. .good dry whites. Love the atmosphere and Brett and Regina are great to talk with. My favorite winery on the trail hands down read more

Friendly people and place, music not to overpowering but generally pretty good. Perfect music sets with great wine, hit this one, one of the best vintners in the area. Hit This one!!!! read more

A drive up a road surrounded by vines leads to a building and lake with a peaceful view. The building has a tasting room and dining room with a view of the lake. The pourers were friendly and helpful and the pour was generous. We purchased a stem-less glass and sampled five wines for $5 -- note: this may have been a special offering due to the fact that this was the total solar eclipse weekend. read more

I stopped by the winery to pick up a bottle of wine that I tried at a friend's house (Venus) and was amazed at the friendly service. The guy behind the counter was very laid back and told me all about the wines and how they were made. Turns out, he was the owner and wine maker. He was so friendly and easy going, I thought he was just well-trained staff. He told me that soon they will be hosting more events, but he's doing some construction and remodeling and wants to get the construction dust out. From what I saw, the new gallery will be very nice (he was painting it a warm brownish color) and adding some sound panels to make it less "echoy." I can't wait to come back when it is warmer and sit on the deck. It seems like the kind of place where you can just blend in and be part of the family! read more

Took some guests to StarView Winery this Saturday and the place was hopping! Everyone seemed to be digging the music and the vibe. Beautiful scenery and tasting room with excellent gift shop. I look forward to buying a t-shirt on my next visit. I did introduce myself an owner, Scott, and he was very cordial. read more

My husband and I recently visited the southern Illinios and the Shawnee wine trail and StarView was our first stop when we arrived. We were greeted by an adorable white dog who met us at our car and led us to the front door; he was very hospitable. Anyway, the gentleman behind the bar was very friendly and knowledgable. He gave us samples of many wines, telling us the story of each wine and grape type, and the history of the vineyard itself. They even offer a delicious wine slushie - great for the summer! Upon finishing our tasting, we each ordered a glass of our favorite along with an appetizer, which we enjoyed out on their large back deck overlooking a pond. It was definitely a very nice start to our trip on the trail. read more

My girlfriend and I spent a weekend in Southern Illinois visiting various wineries to which we'd never been. StarView Vineyards was on this list. We ate lunch at the winery, choosing a sandwich and salad from the modest (but tasty) menu. We then did a complete tasting. We eventually each settled on a glass of sangria which was more than satisfying. We had a great experience, and we'd definitely go back if we're out that way in the future. read more

This winery is nice and the wine is good.... A fun stop on the trail.... Moonlight white is wonderful...

The wine and music were great. Of all the winery's Chardonnays this one had the best. Excellent service all around.

Great winery and a must visit. Staff was very friendly, helpful and knowledgeable. Enjoyed our tasting so much we ended up ordering a cheese plate and additional wine to enjoy out on their deck. read more
