Goshen Gourmet: Grafton Winery

I've been to the Grafton Winery myself, and it has an amazing view.  You should stop by and check them out.  (Okay, maybe when it gets warmer...)

Via Nancy Milton, REALTOR/GRI, JustDuckyHomes.com (Coldwell Banker Brown Realtors in St.Louis' Illinois suburbs):

My brother flew in from Georgia today for a brief surprise visit for our mother's birthday. 

It was such a magnificent day, with temperatures reaching well into the 60s, that we decided to take a drive up the Meeting of the Great Rivers Scenic Byway (the River Road to us locals) to check out the new Grafton Winery.

It did not disappoint. The winery opened in early December and is attracting and delighting new customers daily.

The well-designed facility offers expansive decks overlooking the Mississippi River. Glass doors on garage-style openers can be raised to create an open-air atmosphere throughout the building. 

We sampled a variety of wines at the tasting bar before settling on Harbor Red, a terrific blend of Syrah, Cabernet and Zinfandel that tasted of dark fruits and raisins as it opened up in the fresh air.

As a bonus, the wintering American Bald Eagles soared overhead around the bluffs and perched in trees, looking for fresh fish snacks from the river.

The winery is adding a Brewhaus later this year, so the beer drinkers in your group will be just as happy as the wine lovers.  Learn more by visiting the Grafton Winery's web site.

Winter Delights at Pere Marquette State Park

Via Nancy Milton, REALTOR/GRI, JustDuckyHomes.com (Coldwell Banker Brown Realtors in St.Louis' Illinois suburbs):

Pere Marquette LodgeA visit to Pere Marquette State Park along the Illinois River is another great winter activity in our part of Southwestern Illinois. 

Named after the French Jesuit missionary -- Pere Jacques Marquette who traveled down the Mississippi with mapmaker Louis Joliet in 1673 to look for a passage to the Pacific Ocean -- the lodge was built as part of the government's Civilian Conservation Corps projects in the 1930s.

Its massive wooden beams and gorgeous native stonework are a delight for lodge design lovers.

Surrounding the structure are 8,000 acres of beautiful, forested land rolling with hiking trails and a driving route that climbs high over the lodge.

Pere Marquette Lodge Chess GameYou can visit for the day or stay overnight in the lodge's hotel rooms or in one of 22 individual cabins. (If you're planning a weekend visit, make reservations early.)

Hearty types can stay in the campground. (Just so you know, my idea of camping is a hotel without room service, so I can't attest to the quality of the grounds. However, I have it on good authority that the camp area is both lovely and clean.)

The lodge offers a grand Sunday Brunch or meals off the menu throughout the week. 

A massive stone fireplace is the focal point of the lobby and a huge chess set invites visitors to stage a battle of wits on the lodge's stone floor. 

Illinois River SunsetThose looking for modern amenities will enjoy the lodge's pool or a variety of board games offered for free in the lobby. A stone patio faces the Illinois River. Bundle up and it's a wonderful place to watch a vibrant winter sunset like the one on this page.

To get to Pere Marquette, head north from Alton along the Great River Road. Continue through historic Elsah and Grafton. North of Grafton, the Illinois River joins the Mississippi and flows in front of the lodge's rolling lawn.

Whatever you choose to do with your free time this winter, I hope you'll take time to get out and enjoy this beautiful region.

Winter can be unexpectedly beautiful in Illinois.
