Von Jakob Winery & Brewery

We stumbled across Von Jakob after doing a few wineries along the trail. We were excited because this place also was a brewery too! WE WISH WE WENT HERE FIRST BECAUSE WE WOULD HAVE STATED ALL DAY!! Angie and Eric were absolutely amazing. The place was so clean. They had an amazing sitting room where the wine and beer counters were. The large banquet hall was so nice and the outside area will be so cool when the weather gets better. Of the 4 stops we made, this place had my favorite wines AND the fresh brewed beer was great. This is a great place for people who want a variety, beer and wine. They are prepping to expand and we can’t wait to go back and stay at the bed and breakfast! THIS STOP IS A MUST ON THE WINE TRAIL!!

Great place to go. Great food, great service. Slushies are the best. Thank you.

Yes, stop. This place has a fantastic view from the back deck. We bought a bottle of Canyon Gold (excellent, light) and a growler of Southern Illinois Pale Ale (you have to like Pale Ale). Both very refreshing. Lunch was the schnitzel - fantastic, came with sides of slaw and potatoes, 6.99. Well worth the value...in fact, everything we had was at a great price.nnWe got there early afternoon. The inside fills up quickly - so be prepared to wait in line. The customer service was excellent at the wine tasting bar. We ordered our food, wine, and beer at this bar. Found a place to sit outside, and they brought out our food.nnParking is easy to find and free. Bathrooms were clean.nnStop by this place - you will enjoy it.

We stayed in the Wine Port room for the weekend to celebrate a bunch of things going on in our lives. The staff at Von Jakob made us feel like family. They gave us suggestions for places to visit and told us about the other vineyards on the Wine Trail. We did get a complimentary basket and bottle of wine as well as a complimentary wine tasting for staying at the Bed and Breakfast. The food was the best we had on the trail and so was the wine! Service was exceptional and so friendly. We can’t wait to come back every year for our anniversary.

I came down to see my family and they said that we should come here and I do not regret coming. We were here last Saturday and it was absolutely fantastic! The staff was friendly and our waiter (a bubbly and sweet blonde) really knew her stuff about the the alcohol that was being served to us (which was amazing! I got the brown slushy). I will be coming again next time I go visit my family!
