Geneva Lake Distilling + Winery

5 Best Day Trips from Chicago | Condé Nast Traveler

"Exposed steel beams, warm wood wine racks, and art made by Studio Winery's artist owners create a warm, convivial atmosphere for wine drinking. The large room features many high-top tables for groups to sit and enjoy, plus a small stage for visiting music acts. The wines aren't technically fine wines, but they're fine wines—get it? The Musician series wines take their name from famous musicians, using local varietals and range from dry to sweet. Meanwhile, the premier tasting wines feature more elegant, classic European varietals, like viognier, syrah, and cabernet sauvignon." - Jessi Roti, Joseph Hernandez
