We really enjoyed the award winning wine. We also ordered the chicken dip and cheese tray, both were delicious.

I would give this place 6 stars if I could! I love everything about it - the amazing wine, the welcoming atmosphere, and the incredibly friendly and helpful staff. I wholeheartedly recommend August Hill, and I will definitely be back soon!

Great wine, disappointing service.
The wine here is genuinely excellent complex, well-crafted, and worth coming back for. Unfortunately, the tasting room experience was let down by the staff this Thursday. The team was inattentive and unwelcoming, which really took away from what should have been an enjoyable visit. It's such a shame because the wine deserves better representation. I hope they work on the hospitality side — it would make all the difference.

My group and I enjoyed the experience. We all did a 6 por asting. Many of the wines were delicious, ranging from dry to sweet.
Following the tasting purchased 2 bottles (Berlyn and Apple Fusion). Each uniquely delicious. Berlyn is a semi-dry, light bodied wine with notes of cherry and cocoa. Apple fusion is a sweet, sparkling wine with apple noted and flavors.
I will be back as I learned much about the August Hill brand. I was made aware of both Wine on the Hill and Cave tastings.

We went to the cave tasting for my friend’s bachelorette and we were with Denise and she was great!! Answered our questions and tailored our tasting to what kinds of wines we like and it was great!

Upon entering, I was almost immediately welcomed very warmly. I expressed what I was looking for, and the woman who assisted me immediately knew what to grab for me. She even offered a quick taste before purchase. WOW! I was blown away by how accurately she was able to pick something that I loved! I bought a bottle, then returned after having lunch elsewhere to purchase 2 more bottles to take home.
I felt the pricing for both the bottled wines and the tasting was very reasonable. There were many people enjoying wine at the bar, outside, inside, and on what appeared to be a back patio. I would absolutely recommend this tasting room to anyone!

Nice little place tucked away in a quiet rural downtown area. Great place to spend a weekend afternoon. Wine… excellent. Just finished my last take-home bottle, excellent quality, prices fair.
Menu is very limited but they do make a delicious hot chicken dip. It paired well with the Chambourcin Reserve I ordered.
Mini charcuterie board is very small and overpriced, not worth ordering. Might want to rethink this item.
Atmosphere is comfortable. Lounge is decent. Bar in the front, clean and inviting.
Best thing about August Hill is one of their employees, Jody… she is a superstar. Very friendly and made me feel welcome. Note to owners: give this person a raise!
Looking forward to visiting again in the Spring!

Friendly and helpful guides for the wine tasting. Cozy comfortable seating area for a glass of your choice. A nice club to join for you to receive bimonthly mailings. Fantastic roadside stop before a visit to Starved Rock (that is just up the road).

Decided to write a 5 star review to counter the lower reviews from people are snarky about not being able to bring CHILDREN into a WINERY! AH gets 5 stars from me BECAUSE they DON'T allow children in there. Common sense people, its not Denny's. We were previously wine club members, but rarely could make the trip over to pick up the bottles, so we discontinued it. But we love stopping in whenever we are in the area. The wines are delicious and the atmosphere is perfect.

Wonderful experience. We were greeted right away. The different wine tasting, flight or full glass options were explained. Friendly, professional, prompt service. Had a red wine flight and a brut flight. Also ordered the cheese plate which had two types of crackers and three soft cheeses. You can taste at the bar, relax in the large, beautiful lounge, or sit in the back patio. Highly recommend!
