I'm an east coast girl living in a west coast world. I've worked in the entertainment industry for much of my adult life and I love photography, writing, and traveling around the U.S. as well as to far-flung locations around the world! Travel is my life and writing about it is a dream.
What better way to cool off during the hot summer months than a wine slushy at an Illinois vineyard? Found along the famed Shawnee Hills Wine Trail, Kite Hill Vineyards makes these refreshing summertime drinks that combine one of your favorite childhood treats (slushies) with wine. If you’ve never had a frozen wine slushy from Kite Hill Vineyards, you’re missing out!
Kite Hill Vineyard is located in Carbondale and can be found along the Shawnee Hills Wine Trail.
This vineyard has created several award-winning wines over the years, which is reason enough to stop in and do a wine tasting. But there's another great reason to visit...
Wine slushies can be ordered by the glass or carafe. Regular flavors include blueberry pomegranate and the popular peach bellini, but additional flavors like lemon drop may also be available. You can even get creative and mix two wine slushy flavors together!
Small snacks to pair with either a glass of wine or wine slushy are available for purchase, or take a picnic basket and enjoy the beautiful views on the vineyard.
Two flavors of take-home slushies, usually blueberry pomegranate and peach bellini, are offered and come in 32-ounce quart-sized containers or 16-ounce pints. Just keep in your freezer and pull out when you're ready to enjoy at home on a hot day!
