Fork Vine At Feather Hills Vineyard

300 miles away and I’m still thinking about the awesome cheeseburger I had there. Probably the best winery in southern Illinois for its food, wine, atmosphere and service.

What happened.??? Found myself using bathroom napkins and no to poor service. Winter blues i guess??? Hate to see it go downhill so fast. Have had good experience here in the past.

I have been there twice recently, to listen to live music. Both times the musician was place on the deck in a plastic bubble surrounding. He should have been in the front room by the bar where people want to sit. I'm not the only one who noticed this so I thought I would make this suggestion.

We were going to be in the area from another state around Thanksgiving at a rental to celebrate a family engagement. I had trouble finding the perfect spot during the week for the engagement celebration meal. Fork Vine was my first choice but they didn't serve full meals during the week. After booking elsewhere I could not get this location out of my head as the perfect spot to celebrate. I contacted the manager Jenna, to see what, if anything they could do for us two days before Thanksgiving on a weekday. Jenna happily offered to host us after a short internal conversation. She went above and beyond to make this a special time for our family and it was a memory we will cherish. She, the kitchen manager and others served us a beauitful and delicious meal for our party of 8. The table was thoughtfully decorated as well. Everyone was kind and cheerful that we encountered there helping us that day. The building was beauitufully decorated for the holidays and the ambiance was perfect whether decorated or not. The grounds were very peaceful also. We had some amazing wine, desserts and appetizers on top of our entrees. All of that was phenomial but the kind people making all this happen made it even more wonderful. If in the area again, we will definitely return. Thank you Jenna and to all at Fork Vine who had a hand in making this a fantastic celebration!

Plenty of indoor and outdoor seating. The brunch menu is full of options for everyone. There was live music outside and very nice from our table in the upper covered deck.
