1st Annual Wine & Jazz Festival

Wines provided by award winning wineries.

Bishops Hill of Joliet

A group of friends started making wine in Chicago over ten years ago. We all have roots with parents or grandparents that made homemade wine for family gatherings as far back as our Eastern European relatives. Carrying on family traditions and our love of wine has been our driving force. As time went on we continued to fine tune our wine making skills and decided to slowly evolve our hobby into artisanal wine making. It is truly a labor of love and we look forward to sharing with you, your family and friends.

We set our sights on finding the perfect location in the Chicago area that brought together the classic feel of old French and Italian wineries. We were fortunate to find a hidden gem property in Joliet that was the former headquarters for the Joliet Catholic Diocese. A really unique picturesque property on a bluff overlooking the Des Plaines River Valley. The property included a castle-like residence built by a former German Brew master. It has been completely restored to its former glory. The castle is now available for wine tastings and events.
