The vineyard is located nine miles south of our tasting room in Sandwich, Illinois.

Fox Valley Winery specializes in creating small lots of handcrafted, award-winning wines—many made from estate grown, single-vineyard Illinois grapes. The Faltz family prides themselves on the high quality of the grapes used to produce their wine.

The Vineyard

Fall of 2007 will mark the fifth harvest of grapes from the Faltz Family Vineyards, located nine miles south of our Sandwich tasting room. The vineyard, now six years old, encompasses 26 acres and is situated on the south-facing rocky ridges of the Fox River valley. Events are held at the vineyard twice a summer.

Our full-service winery and tasting room is located on Route 34 in Oswego, Illinois and features a private tasting room, sitting area, two fireplaces a large retail store. Tours of the winemaking facility are offered on weekends. A second tasting room is located in Sandwich Illinois. Tasting is offered daily at both locations.

Our Sandwich location located at: 207 E. Church Street • Sandwich, IL 60548

The Sandwich tasting room is in a 120 year old double-walled masonry building. The building was originally used to store blocks of ice cut from the Somonauk Creek, which lies just west of town. Area residents purchased these large blocks of ice for use in their "ice box" refrigerators commonly used in homes before the turn of the 20th century. This double storefront location offers a comfortable sitting area, and a comfortable surrounding and tasting area.

Facility rentals are available. The private tasting room at the Oswego location may be rented during business hours as well as after hours. The room is perfect for parties, showers and meetings. The Sandwich store can be used to host food pairing classes, meetings, etc. We have welcomed the "Red Hat Society," a bridal shower, and much more. For details call (630) 554-0404.
