We had the honor to shoot a wedding at Mackinaw Valley Vineyard and it went really smooth.The on site staff was really friendly and helpful. The only glitch was rehearsal, whomever it was onsite struggled to keep it moving in a positive direction. We got through it though.Wedding day went off without a hitch. The staff was on point with anything the couple or my team needed.Great property to shoot at - amazing angles every which way you turn! I hope to come back down in the future!

Picked up 3 bottled as gifts for different Thanksgiving meals. The lone staff was extremely helpful and the wines have been excellent, as described, as tasted. The place looked like a wonderful place to hang out with friends or visit for an event

We where here for a craft show. As a vendor it was not bad. They ran out of a wine I wanted to try. I would recommend this winery if you are in the area

Stopped this afternoon after driving quite a distance. Private wedding and unable to even get into the tasting room. Really should post about a private party.

Beautiful property! Great dry wines! You don't find that very often in Illinois. I will definitely be back.

Wonderful service, knowledgeable staff and an excellent ambiance! The wine is delicious and the chocolate is a great extra bonus! I mean who doesn’t love wine and chocolate?! Great date night or family outing spot!

My friends and I stopped here on our bachelorette weekend trip and absolutely loved it! The winery has such beautiful landscape for miles. There’s plenty of seating both in and outside. We loved the wine tasting and having the opportunity to try as many wines as we would like. We also shared a cheese spread with crackers, which we thought was delicious. The staff were so fun and friendly. It was such a great experience and peaceful atmosphere! Highly recommend visiting!

We got married at Mackinaw Valley Vineyard several years ago and had the most beautiful experience. It was a perfect day and our pictures by the lake are gorgeous. Diane was so pleasant to work with. We love going back now to visit for date nights!

Two tries and we're out! The scenery and grounds are beautiful , hence the one-star, but everything else is unimpressive. Our overall statement is; If you aren't part of an event, this isn't the winery you want. It is NOT conducive to relaxing with a glass or bottle of wine. Our first experience here wasn't great. Weekend afternoon and there were kids from an event allowed to run around, absolutely everywhere, with no supervision--and they were loud. Really unpleasant atmosphere for a winery. Even though the operating hours were posted as later, we felt unwelcome after 5 pm. We left. Today, we arrived at 4:00, only to feel displaced by people who had reserved tables for 5:00 being allowed to consume the entire porch flitting around with set up. It was hard to know where we could sit with the wine we had already purchased because all of the tables had reserved tickets on them. You had to go around and check each one to see if it had a name in it or not to know if it was open. There was a band set to start at 7:00 pm. They were setting up, which was understandable, but then started blaring Ac/DC and similar pre-recorded music from their speakers for the rest of the afternoon. Oh, and add to that, the owners were using the leaf blower and revving a 4-wheeler made for a pretty annoying and unpleasant afternoon. Nothing about this winery says, "Come, relax and enjoy." Once again, a most unwelcoming experience.Add to that that most of the wines are undrinkable. Won't be back and can't recommend. We're out!

Met up with some friends and none of us had been here before. We really enjoyed the view and all the options you had to sit outside with cover, or even tables/chairs inside in the air conditioning which was a great option for a hot and humid day. The woman working on the 4th of July was really personable and helpful as we got the lay of the land and our wine options. We knew in advance we could bring our own food so we enjoyed a simple charcuterie spread. One thing to make sure you note is how you can't bring in any type of beverages, including water. Make sure you purchase that when you order your wine. So we liked the ambiance and service. but the wine wasn't the highlight for us. We tried both white and red bottles and found the Alexander's Conquest and Eric's Red to be our group's favorites. A great place to get away from the usual, enjoy the views, and have some fun with friends!
