Mackinaw Valley Winery

Mackinaw Valley Winery Visit and enjoy…2026 is our 23nd year and we welcome you to visit and enjoy our wine and experience the vineyard!
(2993)

The beautiful countryside, the 86 acre property has about 15 acres of grapes and many outdoor deck areas and paths. The concept of a “staycation” is the heart and soul of Mackinaw Valley Vineyard’s mission. In 1998, when owner Paul Hahn attended a seminar about growing wine grapes in the Midwest, it was the beginning of what 17 years later is now the oldest winery and vineyard in Central Illinois.

The month of May 2003 saw the opening to the public of the original wine tasting room. Through the years improvements and additions have been made to the property and buildings meeting the need for increased winemaking and customer spaces to support the concerts, festivals, business and social events and weddings and receptions hosted annually at the vineyard. In January 2015, an extensive remodeling project was completed doubling the tasting room size with a new bar area and hardwood flooring. The Gift Shop space has been enlarged and a new private party room is available to host smaller groups. But with all these upgrades, the “million dollar” panoramic view remains constant. Customers enjoy looking out over the valley in any season; watching the beauty of the changing landscape and sky is relaxing and memorable. Every Saturday, from June through September, there are evening concerts and the four annual festivals will take place again in 2015. A favorite is the International Music, Wine and Craft Beer Festival to be held on Memorial weekend. Other festivals include the Art and Wine Festival on April 30, the Prairie Traveling Vintage Festival on August 9, and the family-friendly Grape Stomp & Harvest Festival on Labor day Sunday. An excellent wine tasting experience and a variety of fun experiences for guests in a family-friendly atmosphere are priorities for the Hahn family. They invite you to bring your friends and family to enjoy “wine country in your own backyard” at Mackinaw Valley Vineyard.

WineRun is coming up on June 14th. Use the link provided below and a $10 donation goes to the Heller Center for Kids with Cancer in Peoria. https://cutt.ly/2026mackinaw5k . What is the Heller Center for Kids with Cancer. The Heller Center for Kids with Cancer at OSF Children’s Hospital of Illinois in Peoria is a specialized program providing critical, non-medical support for pediatric cancer patients and their families. It is not a physical building, but rather a comprehensive collection of services funded entirely by donations, meaning families are never charged for its programs.

Key services and resources provided by the center include:

Mental and Emotional Health: Counseling and therapy to help patients, parents, and siblings process the stress, anxiety, and trauma of a diagnosis.

School and Career Support: Assistance ensuring kids stay caught up on schoolwork, along with college and career planning.

Survivor Clinics: Long-term monitoring and health screenings for cancer survivors to manage the late effects of treatments.

Adolescent & Young Adult Programs: Specialized resources for older patients transitioning into independence and adult life.

Family Navigation: Dedicated navigators and educators to guide families through the complexities of the medical and care environment.

The program was established in 2016 through a generous endowment to ensure that, alongside medical treatment, children have the holistic support needed to "thrive beyond cancer".
