YOU CAN DO IT!

Thank you so much for your support as we continue to figure out new ways to get your favorite wines to you! We are going to focus on what you can do and how we can get your favorite wines to you. Watch for future emails and this page as things can always change as we explore new ideas. Bookmark this page as it is is where you can find the most up-to-date info on our operations.

YOU CAN – ENJOY OUTDOOR SEATING FROM 11AM-6PM DAILY

We have limited outdoor seating in front of our Tasting Room and on our heated outdoor patio. Enjoy a glass or a flight, or share a bottle of your favorite August Hill & ISC wines. Feel free to bring a blanket to keep yourself extra cozy.

What to Expect:

• Seating is on a first-come, first-serve basis.
• Check-in with our greeter when you arrive. If a table is available, we will seat you. If seating is not available, the greeter will give you an approximate wait time.
• Per Illinois guidelines, the maximum number of people in a group is 6 people.
• Because our seating is limited, we ask that guests limit their stay to 90 minutes or less.
• The seating area is spread out to allow for greater social distancing. Please do not move any of the tables or chairs.
• Please maintain social distancing (6 ft. minimum) at all times.
• Staff will be wearing masks while serving you. We ask that guests wear a mask at all times while inside the Tasting Room, except for when you are enjoying wine at your table. Customers are now required to wear a mask during all interactions with staff. When visiting the Tasting Room, please put your mask on when a server approaches you.
• You can view our online menu on your mobile device. Disposable menus are also available if needed. A staff member will stop by your table to take your order.
• Wine will be available by the glass, flight, and bottle. We will also offer chocolate and light snacks. We are not offering wine tastings or additional food items at this time. Water will only be available for sale in single-use bottles. Our flights are a nice alternative to a tasting as you receive 3 pours of the wines of your choice. Wine Club members currently receive $5 off flights (for up to 2 people/day).
• If you would like to purchase additional wine to take home, let our staff know, and they will pack up your items for you and bring it to your table.
• Hand sanitizer is available for staff and guests.
• Seating areas will be sanitized between guests.
• We ask that you please stay home if you are not feeling well.
