DISCOVER A MAGICAL EXPERIENCE…
Take a drive down a winding gravel road, the path less traveled, and spot the vineyard on the hillside. Once you turn into the driveway you will see a Tuscan style tasting room with a gorgeous patio, pond, and an adjacent tent-covered deck that overlooks the vineyard. When you step into the tasting room you will feel like you went back in time to an old Tuscan villag

e. The Fergedaboudit family will welcome you with a big smile and offer you some details to begin your experience. They will take you through the history of how Fergedaboudit (and its name) came to be, and a description of the wines to help guide you to your tasting selections. If you are planning a visit for a birthday celebration, bachelorette or special occasion, please call ahead to discuss details and expectations. Whether you are looking for a venue for a special event, a quiet afternoon of wine tasting paired with carefully selected imported chesses, or an afternoon of wine flights, homemade pizza and live music, we have it all. Discover this timeless space for a magical experience, leaving you wanting more. We have a broad selection of wines for everyone’s palate. From dry reds to sweet white wines, made from grapes grown on our property, as well as imported grapes from California and Chili. We take pride in growing, nurturing and harvesting our French hybrid grapes created specifically for the Illinois climate. However, we are equally proud of processing imported grapes that bring the flavors from many different wine regions.

September arrives and the vineyard starts to change. The air gets a little cooler, the sunsets glow a little deeper, and afternoons stretch into beautiful fall evenings. If you love vineyard season, this is one of the best months of the year.

Harvest is officially upon us!

Thanks to our amazing team and awesome volunteers, we were up and moving early, getting this year’s harvest underway.

While the late frost unfortunately impacted our production and reduced the amount of grapes from our own vineyards, we’re still incredibly excited about the quality of what we’re bringing in! We’re also so thankful for the collaboration and support of our local vineyard friends who are helping us supplement this year’s harvest so we can continue producing the wines you love.

There’s a lot of hard work, teamwork and passion that goes into every bottle of Fergedaboudit wine. From the vineyard to the crush pad and eventually to your glass.

Here’s to harvest season, great grapes and another vintage of amazing local wines made with a lot of LOVE! 🍇🍷❤️
