I came in to try Tasting Devine off a whim! I was literally driving by and needed a good wine for dinner. I liked the owner because I told her I wanted to try their best dinner wine for $20. Listen, I can't remember the name of the wine. I feel like I drank the bottle so fast without looking at the label! Haha! I enjoyed the wine so much that I came back and grabbed another bottle as a gift to my realtor - who later came back and asked for the business's info because she too loved the wine! I'm a big fan of Tasting Devine. read more

The wine is from a nice local wine vineyard - Lynfred Winery It was lovely to have friends to taste different wines with but the place was too crowded and all of us women were in heels! The music was too loud, and in poor taste and we could not hear one another speak The food food was poor. I could have bought a Chef's Bord of meats and cheeses at Jewel and served it It was quite expensive as well We shall never return again read more

This is such a cute, quaint place with outdoor seating and booths inside to get cozy. The employees here were so helpful and knowledgeable about the different wines offered. The parking can be a little tricky, especially in the summer but there is free parking in the garage about a block away. Next door is an improv place and The Guild, so there is so much to do in this area. read more

They have something for everyone - wine, snacks, beers, etc. I'm not a huge wine drinker but a frosé was calling my name on this warm afternoon so after walking around the French Market we stopped at Tasting Devine. I did a half and half sushie of the two flavors there were offering and it was very refreshing. Their "regular" wine is STRONG but smooth and I love that it's local! read more

Tasting Devine - Wine Slushy - Wine Tasting Room Near Me - Wheaton, Illinois

The staff was very friendly and welcoming. There is a good variety of wines, beers, and bourbons, with the occasional cocktail. The building is very moody and definitely feels like a place to sit down, chat, and drink wine. The events are also great and suit the business well. read more

Amazing location that makes this a super fun spot for a drink before dinner, an improv show, or for a ladies' night, etc. I don't particularly love the wine, but it has always had good service and I come in every Thanksgiving for a bottle of cranberry. read more

Decided to stop in while walking through downtown Wheaton. Cute place! They have various options for tasting. I tried the red and white. Overall I liked 4/6 in my flight. They served my 3 whites and when I was finished, they brought my red. My boyfriend has the rose flight which was the special for May. He enjoyed 2/3 of his tastings. Staff was super friendly and checked on us frequently. Prices were very reasonable for both tasting and bottles. I did not purchase any bottles on this visit. They were popular outside, but there were plenty of tables inside as well. (I sat inside and it was nice to not have the constant foot traffic). I would recommend! read more

I've had nothing but great experiences at Tasting Devine. The employees are super friendly and provide excellent service! I came here with my boyfriend tonight and we ordered the sweet wine flights. The wine served here is from Lynfred Winery- our local favorite! The sweet flights for tonight included their Oktoberfest, Sangria Blanc, Sangria Rouge, Cherry, Raspberry, and Peach. All wines are incredible! It was a nice combination of whites and reds, and if you're into sweet wine, you will not be disappointed! The atmosphere here is super relaxing and they have very comfortable seating arrangements. We sat in their booth area and enjoyed the live music. This is the perfect little spot to hangout at in downtown Wheaton, especially if you decide to eat at one of the restaurants, which are walking distance. We had reservations at an Italian restaurant down the street (Sogno). It was nice to be able to hangout here and enjoy a tasting before dinner. I highly recommend Tasting Devine! read more

I've been coming here for forever with my family it seems like. Staff is always amazing and accommodating. The place isn't huge but it's so homey. With wines they have something for everyone. I'm a sweet fan so I always go for the fruit wines. My family loves the warm wines they have through the cold season. I also love that they sell little charcuterie plates for the table. Also great location! There's so much food and shops walking distance. read more

I was drawn to this place due to its cute calming vibe and obviously wine selection. I decided to stop by to do a wine taste. Unfortunately, I got too late but the host let me sample three sweet wines. I decided to purchase the white sangria. It was delicious and light to the taste. The host also shared a sample of their frozen wine and it was delicious! I'm definitely returning to try their frozen wines especially for those hot summer days. This is a great place to relax and enjoy wine. There's indoor and outdoor seating. The host are super nice and friendly. read more

From the Wheaton Central High School Class of 1974, much thanks and kudos to Amanda and her staff at Tasting DeVine in Wheaton, along with Ryan Wiedner of Pollyanna Brewery in St. Charles. We had a weekend full of activities planned for our 50th High School Reunion September 13-15, 2024, and a Wine & Beer Tasting was held at Tasting Devine on Friday, September 13th. Amanda let us set up early that morning on her front patio so we could distribute our class apparel and at 2:00pm 45 of our classmates began arriving for the tasting event. This was one of the top selling events that we offered for the weekend and the responses we received both during and after were all positive. Everyone loved the intimacy of the event and having a nice ice-breaker before meeting others from our class that evening in downtown Wheaton. The event was supposed to end at 4:00, but some hung around until 5:00 or after as they were thoroughly enjoying themselves so much. All of those that attended said that they would like a repeat for every reunion we have going forward. Thank you so much Amanda and your staff for your hospitality and generosity, and putting up with our rowdy group. Until next time.....WCHS Class of 1974 50th Reunion Committee read more

While wandering Wheaton and visiting places of my youth on a cool, windy day in May, we came across this charming place. We tasted two "flights," one red and one white. We also bought the charcuterie tray for a snack. All of it was very nice. The little parmesan cheese snacks were very good, addictive even! read more

Tasting Devine - Wine Tasting Room Near Me - Wheaton, Illinois

John was an awesome wealth of information when it came to the variety of wines available. Being able to have a delicious charcuterie board to compliment our tastings made our visit that much more memorable!! read more

Downtown Wheaton's wine spot. Wide variety of tastings. They have a tasting menu to choose your favorites. Wine sold by bottle and glass, they're are from Lynfred Winery. On a warm summer day there's nothing better than a wine slushy. The flavors change weekly to my understanding. I had a raspberry wine slushy that was divine! Outdoor seating is across from the train station so a bit noisy. The bar keep was helpful and knowledgeable in helping to guide you to the perfect selection. Parking is a bit of a challenge since there are many restaurants and shops in that downtown location. read more

Great wines, even greater staff! My hubby and I are members of the Lynfred wine club in Roselle, which allows us membership benefits at the winery's Tasting Devine locations as well. What I like best about Tasting Devine is that they have different options for tastings, such as Sweet Flight, Reds only, Whites only, Pick 4, or a Tasting of 7. At Lynfred, there's only a choice for seven tastings plus one premium as an add-on. Plus, the tastings at Tasting Devine are on an "honor system" as far as how many tastings you have left, which is really nice (and can be really tempting!!). Really liked it here; we'll be back! read more

Tasting Devine - Wine Tasting Room Near Me - Wheaton, Illinois

Tasting Devine is cute. It fits right in with it's boutique surroundings in downtown Wheaton. I would say that it's a lot like a Starbucks. There's a lot of wine stuff for sale, a counter for ordering, and small tables for relaxing with a nice glass. My party of four went for a scheduled wine tasting. We sat at small table (too small for all of us, but we didn't mind). A lady brought us pieces of paper with the descriptions of their wines and explained that the tastings begin with the white wines on top and move through to the reds. She also gave us a plate of dried bread pieces for palette cleansers. Glasses were brought for the white wines and then were refilled three more times until the whites were finished. New glasses were brought for the reds and refilled for each tasting after that. All together we tried eight wines. Three different employees served us, each introducing their wines as they poured and then left us to drink. They really did not do a good job of explaining wine to us. Most of our knowledge came from reading the descriptions on the paper. The staff were friendly and a little casual. They turned off the ceiling fans when they saw that I was cold. I suppose they just weren't very talkative about their wines. They also didn't pressure us to buy anything whatsoever. We paid an additional $3.50 each to try a special cherry wine which we all believed to be the best. In fact, we all agreed that their fruit wines were amazing. The rest of the wines had mixed reactions. We also agreed that the wines were insanely expensive. The prices ranged from about $15 to $35. Most of them were about $22. There are definitely other good wines available for less, but we bought two of our favorites and a large jar of cranberry horseradish mustard. There were many people standing at the bar and tasting wine. I felt bad for them because there weren't any bar stools and there definitely wasn't enough seating area for everyone. read more

Tasting Devine, you are my favorite place to relax with wine. They have a few outdoor tables and plenty of indoor seating. I love to sit outside on a nice day, taste some wine, and enjoy a cheese plate. The service is friendly and the wines are great. I only wish they offered other food options. Though, the large cheese plate is nice. 3 or 4 kinds of cheese, sausage, grapes, trail mix, and chocolate covered pretzels. This place is so much more laid back than Roselle. read more

Tasting Devine - Wine and cheese outside! - Wine Tasting Room Near Me - Wheaton, Illinois

Hubby and I visited on Monday evening and had a wonderful time. Dick took great care of us and spent alot of time explaining the nuances of their wines. He was friendly, respectful and gave us an extra, complimentary taste too. Yes we had to stand the entire time but we didnt mind it and could have sat at a cozy table instead. The decor was old world and they sold lots of cute wine/gift items. The wines were on the dryer side which we liked. They werent amazing but several of the tastings were great. We thought they werz good enough to puchase 2 bottles. We had a fabulous time even though the wine itself was just ok. Go for the experience, relax and you will enjoy!!! read more

Let me start by saying Tasting Devine once was a 5-star establishment all the way. Back when their tastings cost $5 and the staff was super knowledgeable and friendly. I've been back to see the price of tastings soar to $9 which is fine as long as it is twice as good as the previous tastings. It's not. The quality of Lynfred wines is unfortunately what you'd expect for Illinois winery. Some of the wines are good and some go immediately into the spit bucket. The place is always too crowded and they could benefit from more seating and wine tchotchke. There was a time when an employee would run over to Graham's chocolates and get dark chocolates to go with the red wine for the people in shop. The service now is curt and borders on rude. I know you're busy but this is your job at least pretend to be happy. I asked a woman behind the bar about a wine and she directed me to the 2 sentence description on the tasting sheet (I can read I was looking for additional info). I think Tasting Devine may have fallen victim to its own success. read more

I was really looking forward to a wine tasting here with a group of friends. I love going to wine tastings and being able to sample different wines and compare notes to see who liked what and just hopefully fall in love with a new-to-me wine. Sadly this was not the case at Tasting Devine. First, I hated all of the wines we got to sample. Am I the only one who thinks Lynfred wines are over-rated? Because I hated every sample, I was hoping to purchase a glass of their sparkling wine--because that is usually harder to mess up. Sorry, they weren't offering any sparkling wine. Probably the first tasting room I've ever visited where there's no sparkling wine on the menu. Also, our hostess was just odd. There was no excitement for the wine, she didn't try to engage us at all. And I didn't appreciate how she looked right at me and told me that this Sauvignon Blanc pairs perfectly with Asian food. Why did you look at me? what if I hated Asian food? Redeeming factor? Cute place and really good cheese tray. I've enjoyed better wine tasting events at Whole Foods where the wines are more diverse and the marketing folks love to talk to you and know a lot more about wine. read more

A nice place to sample, drink, and buy wine; but the employees are not as pleasant and helpful as the Naperville or Roselle locations. Strangely, they also draw a completely different crowd of customers. The ones that were there when I stopped by were loud and boisterous. At Naperville and Roselle, I am used to seing a more reserved, refined, and upscale clientele. read more

I just got home from a wonderful afternoon at Tasting Devine. My man and I went there hoping to relax, chat, and try some new wines. The service was great, friendly, and helpful with all of our questions. The deal is 7 wines for 9 dollars. It was quite a bit of wine and a little over an hour and a half. The wines were good, the place was clean, and we felt comfortable to talk and enjoy our time there. When we arrived, the place was a little empty and we got a nice spot at a round table by the window. Despite the snow storm, it was a bright sunny day. Perfect for sitting beside a big clean window. It was such a positive experience that we are considering becoming members, but if not, at least going back very soon for another tasting! What a great, easy, and relaxing way to spend an afternoon. read more

A friend had recommended this place so we stopped here for a drink before going to see a performance at the theater down the block. I am so glad we did! While the space itself is not that big they way everything is laid out leaves plenty of room to get around and sit and enjoy your wine. There were two people working while we were there, both of them were super friendly and the gentleman who helped us figure out what to drink was very nice and knew what he was talking about. Plus unlike some tasting bars I have been to there was no pressure to buy a higher priced bottle of wine or a second one. I absolutely loved this place and will be going back without a doubt! read more

This place is alright. I used to go here quite often with friends for tastings, but we all stopped going when they nearly doubled the prices of their tastings and cut the quality of their service in half. I highly recommend the Blackberry, Blueberry, and Strawberry Rhubarb wines. Meh, I'll be back to show my beautiful face here again, but only because my friends host wine tastings here. read more

It is a new thing for my friends and I to come here for a tasting once a month, since my friend joined the wine of the month club. I enjoy sitting in a quiet, comfortable place and trying wines with my wine lover friends. They even have me trying the red wines! They are very generous with their samples and very informative. We really like the gentleman that works there with the glasses, one day I will catch his name. He's very fast at getting us the next sample and he will answer our questions. read more

Came here with a group of friends after one of them won a free wine tasting for 10. I was pleasantly surprised to find how small, but cozy, the place was. I have to admit though, the place was a bit crowded, but luckily, my friends and I were able to be seated in one of only 2 areas to sit. If I got stuck standing in front of the counter, like allot of the people, I don't know what I would have done, probably peed my pants from standing all day. I do a good amount of wine drinking, usually with my dinners, but wine tasting still gives me a buzz. Good thing my friends and I were sitting down throughout the whole wine tasting. My friends and I were there for a good 2 hours and it was a nice change from your ordinary dinner and movie. I thought the staff was very friendly and accommodating. At the time, there were only 3 people working on a busy Friday night and they still took the time to greet you with a smile. For only $5 you can order a small plate of grapes, sausages and cheese, perfect enough for one person and to compliment the different wines. Or for $10, you can get the large plate sample with a large bowl of assorted nuts, fresh grapes, sausages and assorted cheeses. I thought the $10 plate was a great deal as I shared this with four or five of the people I sat closest too (see pictures). It was honestly a perfect compliment to our wine tasting. My friends and I thoroughly enjoyed our night out at this place. Although the place was crowded and there were limited seating, especially at the bar, if you and your friends are lucky enough to seats, then you and your friends will have a good time. Make sure you order the $10 assorted plates if you come here on an empty stomach. read more

Went with a group of 10 for a girl's night out. We sat at a table in the back and were given a platter of cheeses, raisins, chocolate, and everything that you crave with a glass of wine! All of the wines are from Lynfred Winery in Roselle, and were all very delicious. It was a great experience, the service was fantastic, and we learned a lot about wine and the different grapes used to make each one. Perfect girl's night out! read more

This is a great non-intimidating atmosphere to learn about and sample Lynfred wines. Walked in for their $9 wine tasting that included 7 wines (3 whites, 3 reds, and one dessert) and a small plate of bread. For $5 you can get a plate of cheese and fruits. We sat at one of the tiny barrel top tables which I thought were cute but the grapes paraphernalia was a bit overboard (from bunches of grapes lit up to the grape booth backboard to the stain glass grape lamps). It's definitely a small town feel. The man that helped us was more than patient, informative, and hilarious all at the same time. He even helped us out with our weekend plans by telling us about an Oktoberfest that Lynfred Winery hosts during the last weekend of September (pig roast + grape stomping=fall fun!). read more

This place is great! I wish that they had more seating! The pours for the monthly tastings are always very genrous and the staff is wonderful. I love getting a better understanding of what I am tasting and they are always very informative. They also have a lot of wine merchandise that is perfect for both yourself and housewarming or party gifts. I would highly recommend going! read more

I really want to like Tasting Devine- but there's really nothing devine about the place. The atmosphere is cold, nothing very inviting. They have a lot of gifts, which is nice, but I wouldn't make the trip to just for that.. They do wine tasting of their Lynfred Wines - it's about $7 for about 7 pours. You stand at the bar while tasting- which is very uncomfortable, especially if you plan on hanging around for a while. And - to be honest, there is nothing special about their wines. I drink wine a lot, I'm not a wine snob by any means..but, unfortunately, I have never found a wine that I like at Tasting Devine. Service: meh.. nothing special. There hasn't been a time when someone has actually gone out of their way to make the experience more enjoyable. Also, you can order snacks while you sip a glass .. but you'd be better off having a drink/appetizer at Cellar Bistro down the street. I would recommend taking the trip to Roselle and visiting the winery though..again, not for the wine, but it's a pretty good tour. read more

We love this place and we are members. The wine selection is good from moderately serious reds to sweet wines. this is great place for people trying to find what they really like. the grapes aren't local but the wine is. we come in a least once month with our 5 year old who likes the cheese platter and the staff is great with him. most of the staff know the wines well and the ones that don't are always will to go find out for you. read more

Tasting Devine - Enjoying a nice tasting and cheese plate - Wine Tasting Room Near Me - Wheaton, Illinois

Chose this place because it was convenient to pick up my wine club from Lynnfred winery. Went on a Saturday. It is situated near several like places. Wow, Wheaton has certainly changed since when I was growing up! It was a dry town and now there are all kinds of places like this to enjoy a glass of wine. Both people working knew what they were pouring and were quite familiar with it. We need to go back and do a better tasting but a great selection and nice service. read more

3 stars for an underwhelming experience without anything terribly offensive happening. This is a perfectly nice little suburban wine shop, complete with wine- and grape-themed kitsch and a vast collection of non-grape wines. The wines including in the tasting were on par with the atmosphere - not terribly impressive but suitable enough for a casual outing. The most egregious mistakes of this place are in its tasting accompaniments. I ordered the cheese & fruit plate, expecting a few artisan cheeses (goat, brie, sharp irish cheddar); what I was given was a plastic to-go container with cubes of Kraft-y cheddar, colby jack, and pepper jack cheese with a few pathetic grapes tucked in the corner. Pepper jack cheese at a tasting? That hardly makes sense. Not to mention the lack of a real plate. Beyond that, the complimentary bread was a multigrain sandwich bread you might find on the shelves at Target, cut up into bite-size pieces. It was both confounding and embarrassing. read more

Great wine, great atmosphere, great service. Had a business meeting nearby and thought I'd stop by. I felt very welcome and like I was being treated as a long-time customer. And the wines are fantastic! read more

This location is connected with Lynfred Winery. So wines are the same as other locations and I have said how I feel about them there (I like most of them, especially the fruit and dessert wines). This location has some great employees who are extremely nice. A small outside seating area only food is small cheese plates but what more do you need with wine right. The part that makes this location awesome is no "experience" limit and bottle service it's a great spot to sit and spend time with friends. read more

We been members here for many years and always had a great experience. Every so often I will come across a wine that I'm not to fond of but overall I enjoy most of their wine. The staff is excellent, great customer service and they know a lot about the wine they serve. They are always running members events which we enjoy. Like the wine and chocolate tasting near Valentine's day. Also you can go to any of their other locations and receive the same member discounts. read more

I got a wine tasting certificate at an auction for my school. I thought it would be fun. I was right. I went with my daughter, Yvonne, her friend Melinda, and every body's friend Scott. The certificate was for up to 10 people. I had invited more, but some couldn't make it. Their loss. Tasting DeVine is a storefront tasting room for the local winery Lynnfred Winery. They import grapes from all over the country to produce fine wines. We tasted 6 wines and a Cherry Sherry. There were three white wines, which were good, especially if white wine is what you prefer. I preferred the reds. The Cherry Sherry was really good. A wonderful desert in itself. The staff served us promptly and efficiently. We never had to wait long for the next variety to taste. Yvonne was feeling a little ill, so I had to finish her wine often. I am thankful that I was not driving. By the end Yvonne was feeling a little better and everyone was fairly happy. Melinda purchased a bottle of the Cherry Sherry, and was shocked at the price, especially compared to the size of the bottle. It was a little expensive. Good thing it tastes so good. Tasting DeVine is a fun experience for a small group of people. It is a little expensive, but the wines are top notch. read more

Wine tasting at it's finest. I love going here every month! Tasting Devine is connected to the Lynfred Winery in Roselle, IL. Every month they have a new tasting sheet - 7 wines for $7. And the tastings are more like a half glass of wine then a small tasting. The staff has worked there for years and is very knowledgeable about wine and is very friendly. I recommend it to anyone who wants to explore wine in a friendly atmosphere. read more

Great place to enjoy a tasting of really good Lynfred wines. Beverly and her staff are always smiling, friendly and knowledgeable. Wouldn't you be smiling if you worked in a wine shop? You can taste 7 wines for $9 ($7 for club members). The wines change every month. They now have 4 different wine clubs you can join. There is no pressure, you can stop at any time. The available cheese and fruit plate is a nice addition. read more

I love Lynfred wines!!! It has become my new obsession. When I found out that they had a tasting room (that stayed open longer than their winery) I knew I needed to stop by. The tasting room is really cute with some small tables set up as well as a gift shop. We were able to snag a table and a hostess came up to us right away and started our tasting. She didn't mention swapping any of the wines out (you can do this at the winery) so I am not sure if it was an option. Since we didn't ask, we just ended up skipping one of the reds altogether. We were also given a few cubes of bread which was nice to soak up the alcohol. We visited right after Christmas so all of their ornaments were also on sale. I picked up a cute rhinestone wine glass ornament...hopefully I remember where I put it come Christmas time! read more
