What started as a dream in the spring of 1997 has developed into a perfect getaway from the hustle and bustle of today's hectic world. Mackinaw Valley Vineyard hosts a winery, tasting room and gift shop. Choose from a selection of award winning red and white wines to savor by the glass or bottle. Complete your wine experience with a selection of cheese and crackers while taking in the panoramic view from the tasting room or veranda.
The vineyard and winery are a true family affair. The vineyard and winery were started by Paul and his three children, Alexander, Nicole and Eric who are the namesakes for three of the winery's blended wines - Alexander's Conquest, Nicole's Blush and Eric's Red. The year 2006 saw the Hahn family grow larger with Paul’s marriage to Diane in November. Diane and her three children Cole, Carly and Cody enjoy helping in the family business and Paul is happy to see his workforce doubled without adding any new payroll expenses.
Before the opening of the tasting room in May of 2003, the vineyard was awarded "Vineyard of the Year" by the Illinois Grape Grower's and Vintner's Association (IGGVA). Alexander's Conquest, a dry red wine, received "Best of Show" honors at the 2003 Illinois State Fair against more than 250 entries. Nicole's Blush and Eric's Red took home Silver Medals in their respective categories and Eric's Red took home a Silver Medal at the 2003 Indy International Wine Competition in its category. Most recently, winemaker Paul Hahn was awarded "Illinois Winemaker of the Year" by the IGGVA.
The tasting room and surrounding grounds are available to rent for business meetings, office parties, and family or social events. We have also hosted small intimate weddings, receptions, and rehearsal dinners. Catering is available or you may provide your own.

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.
