This Perfect Illinois Vineyard Has Amazing Wine And Even Lets You Spend The Night

Von Jakob Vineyard in Alto Pass offers a bed and breakfast experience with scenic views and award-winning wines.

Do you enjoy relaxing at a vineyard as you sip on wine and look at the gorgeous scenery all around you? Part of you may wish you could stay at the vineyard overnight. Luckily, Von Jakob Vineyard in Alto Pass has a bed and breakfast where you can do just that. Let's have a look at this beautiful vineyard and its charming accommodations.

Von Jakob Winery & Brewery is located along the famous Shawnee Hills Wine Trail in Alto Pass. Known for its scenic views of both the vineyard and Shawnee National Forest, as well as its award-winning wine, this vineyard is a destination.

You can come here for a relaxing day of views as you sip on wine, craft beers, and crisp hard apple cider while also enjoying delicious food. Or you can spend the night by booking a stay at the Von Jakob Bed & Breakfast!

With a stay at the bed and breakfast, you will be given a welcome basket filled with goodies, your choice of a complimentary bottle of wine, and breakfast, which is served at 9:30 a.m. each morning at the winery.

With two cottages and five suites, each with its own bathroom, a stay on the property of Von Jakob Winery provides the perfect getaway.

The Wine House (pictured here) has three guest suites and features a common space with a gas fireplace, a dining room, and a full kitchen. The rooms can be booked separately or together if you have a large group.

Located in the charming Wine House is the Canyon Gold Suite with decor inspired by the vineyard's Little Grand Canyon Gold wine.

The Cab Sav Suite is elegantly decorated and named after the Cabernet Sauvignon which was the first of its kind produced in the state.

The third suite is called the Chateau Suite, named after the Chateau Red Wine and the most romantic of the three Wine House Suites.

Moving on to The Port House, here you'll find just two suites; and, just like The Wine House, there's a common space with a dining room and kitchen.

If you happen to book the entire Port House, there is a sleeper sofa for any additional guests.

One of the two rooms at the The Port House is called the White Port Suite. This bright and cheerful space is named after the White Oak Port produced at Von Jakob, the first winery in the state to produce this particular wine.

The second room at the Port House is known as the Red Port Suite, also named after a wine produced on the property.
