About Us
Our Story
Nestled among the hills of the Shawnee Wine Trail of Southern Illinois lies Feather Hills Vineyard. A family-owned, boutique winery, our roots date back thirty years to when Gary Orlandini planted his first rows of Chambourcin grapevines. Slowly, as Southern Illinois began to make its mark as a nationally recognized wine growing region, so did the winery. After the unfortunate passing of the original owner, the Feathers’ purchased the property in 2017. Although the vineyard and winery has undergone several changes, the quality and consistency of our wines remain the same. Our passion is hand crafting complex, high-quality wines that all of Illinois can be proud of.
Lodging
Farmhouse Cellars
A truly unique winery experience, our Farmhouse Cellars Winery Suite offers a prime location for the Shawnee Hills wine trail. The suite offers all the luxury of a high end hotel while being centered within the winery itself. For your stay, you will get a behind the scenes look at the wine making process while enjoying your own private tasting. In the evenings, you can relax down by the water or look out over the vines and enjoy a beautiful sunset from the front porch.
