Steeped in a rich tradition, heritage, and history, the Indian Creak Vineyard is nestled in Stark County 1.5 miles north of Toulon, Illinois.
Named after the creek bordering the vineyard, a vista of beauty and elegance has been created. Near the same land once occupied by the last settlement of the Pottawattomie Indians in Stark County, now lies a 12 acre Illinois vineyard.
Marachel Foch, Fronenac, Lacrosse, St. Pepin and Leon Melot are among the varieties of grapes grown for producing fine Illinois wines.
Indian Creek Vineyard is located on our family farm, which has been in the family since 1836. The original house was completed in 1840 with an addition in 1853. The remodeling project included removing the 1840 structure and blending the new with the addition of 1853 to make the present Chateau. The Chateau serves as a bed and breakfast with four bedrooms. The Chateau also has a great room available for parties up to 60 people.
The Old Red Barn, once used for milking cows and storing hay now serves as a wine shop and a wine tasting room. In addition to the wines from Indian Creek Vineyard, wines from several other Illinois wineries are available.
My name is Fred J. Sams, and I was born and raised on this farm. I would like to cordially invite you to sample my wines, walk around the vineyard and enjoy a glass of wine on the deck overlooking picturesque Indian Creek Vineyard and pond and have a "grape" experience.

Unquenchable by Natalie MacLean

Natalie MacLean is a new force in the wine writing world ‐ a feisty North American answer to Hugh Johnson and Jancis Robinson. She can write beautifully about wine.

The Financial Times of London

There are very few people in the wine world who "get it" and Natalie is one of those who brings more fun to a buttoned-up and stodgy game.
