Wine country in east central Illinois? Sure, why not! At least that's what Joe and Dawn Taylor said when starting second careers in the Illinois wine industry. Joe, having been self-employed most of his life, wanted to start something new and Dawn, having always worked for someone else was ready to try something new too. The result? Sleepy Creek Vineyards!
Joe and Dawn started the vineyard about eight years ago and opened the winery in 2007. Growing 10 acres of grapes is hard but rewarding work, especially when the efforts result in a enjoyable glass of wine.
There is no better
way to experience wine than right here from the source. You will often find Joe or Dawn behind the bar or one of the friendly staff pouring
complimentary wine tastings. After your tasting, you can enjoy a glass or bottle of wine or a Goose Island craft beers while browsing the gift shop, the upstairs art gallery or relaxing inside or out. Bring a picnic or purchase some of our cheese and crackers here. If we
aren't too busy, we'd be happy to show you the winery and talk about the
wine making process.
Located just 25 minutes from Champaign
and a few minutes from Danville, just take exit 206 off of I-74 and go
south 3.5 miles. Sleepy Creek is a great destination to meet friends and socialize. We offer periodic live music by original singers and songwriters, as well as other great entertainment. Click here for the latest news and
