Our Wines

A Difference You Can Taste

Each wine we offer at Native Trails Winery in Lewistown, IL has a distinctive style. The grapes grown on our vineyard are not only rich with Native American history and known as a site for artifacts; they are what makes our wines so unique! We make sweet and dry, red and white wines. In addition to some traditional varieties, we also offer unique blends created from our own recipes.

Made With Care

No matter your preferences, we encourage you to come in and experience every wine for yourself. In addition to our tours, we offer wine tastings so you can find out what you like before you make a purchase from our wine selection. Our tasting room is open Saturday and Sunday from noon until 5 PM.

We have planted, grown, and harvested the fruit from our vineyards and then we have used the fruits to create blends you won’t find anywhere else. Our staff has tried many different combinations and, over time, we have come up with blends that are mellow, unique, and very satisfying.

If you are new to wine, we encourage you to come in and to talk to our owner or a member of our team. When it comes to wine, we love to be part of the experience. Every bottle, every glass, and every drop is important to us!

Chardonel

 Dry White-Chardonel is a French American hybrid of Seyval and Chardonnay varietals. We harvest only the best grapes from our vineyard. Our Chardonel is aged on oak for six months to improve the mouth feel and aroma.

Corot Noir

 A dry red released in 2006, Corot Noir is the result of a cross between hybrid Seyve Villard and Steuben. The wine has berry aromas and high tannins provide a drier mouth feel.

Frontenac

 Dry Red-Frontenac is a hybrid grape that is a result of cross-breeding hybrid Landot 4511 and a cold hardy selection of Vitis Riparia. Lightly aged on French oak, the wine imparts flavors of cherry and cedar.

Indian Summer

 Indian Summer is a sweet version of Frontenac. The sugar balances the acidity to provide a perfectly chilled summer wine.  Enjoy a glass and relax.

Red Sunset

 Red Sunset is a blend of Corot Noir, Frontenac, and Chambourcin. Enjoy by itself or with food. The wine pairs well with red meat, pasta, and cheese.

Sundance

 Sundance is a blush wine that provides the best a sweet wine can provide. Sundance is fruity on the nose and imparts flavors of jelly, ripe plum, and pear.

Vignoles

 A complex hybrid wine grape variety that was originally named Ravat 51. Enjoy the hints of melon, banana, and bubblegum in the aroma. The taste is crisp and refreshing.
