| Comments: | We enjoyed our visit to your winery in September, and brought several bottles of your delicious wine home with us. They are awesome!!! We are planning to see you again next September, and we plan to purchase more. We just finished a bottle of Chambourcin, and it was great. It's almost worth the 250-mile drive down there just to buy the wine---not to mention your hospitality during our visit. |

My husband Scott and I were married there and have enjoyed going back for Sunday music and for gifts for the holidays. I have been to other Central Illinois wineries and none compare to Hill Prairie. When we go we are treated like family. Keep doing what you do you are GREAT!!! |

| Comments: | In response to the message from Jerry Redpath: It is unfortunate that you had such a negative experience at our Murder Mystery dinner theater on Friday night. We have been doing this style of entertainment for 4 years now and the guests have enjoyed it so much, that they continue to come and many are repeat customers. With the exception of you, everybody else seems to have had a good time. The standing ovation the actors received and the numerous times that this particular caterer is here, is proof enough for us that this is working regardless of your experience. I hope that in the future, you will visit again and it is more positive. Sincerely, Connie Lounsberry at Hill Prairie Winery |

| Comments: | I was at the diner theater on June 26, I thought the show was good and funny, I got to play Doc, the prime rib was good, got a large tender cut, but the 3 berry desert was a two thumbs down. We were a party of four and all had fun. The couple that went with us was their first time and is planning to return for another show and more wine. Thanks for a good time Hill Prairie! |

| Comments: | My wife and I were in a party of 13 for the June 26th Mystery Diner Show. The show was fair but the food was TERRIBLE. We all paid $45 for tickets to get prime rib that was so well done you could hardly eat it, rolls that were old and crumbled when you cut them to put butter on them and the desert was a very very stale peice of white colored cake with a few bitter peices of fruit on it. I sure as heck am not going bach there again for such terrible food and a so-so show for $45 each. Hopefully any of you that go there won't have the same rotten experience that we had. |

| Comments: | Please contact me if anyone who might own a dog called Mike decides to sell him because I'd love to buy/adopt him. I rescued him from getting hit on the road there in Oakford today and I'd love to get a dog like him. If anyone really knows who his owner is can you please contact me at 309-369-5480. I returned him to the winery and it seemed as though he is known as the town dog and I'm afraid he's going to be a dead dog after getting hit on the road. THANKS! |

Sally Weisenburg and Robert Sampson both have recommended I stop in. Well, I'll finally get the opportunity today as my good friends Kilborn Alley get to play there. As a nationally recognized blues songwriter and journalist, its great to see that a place like yours keeps live music going. I'll see you this afternoon! |

| Comments: | My friend(who was visiting from Maine)and I came out to see Black Magic Johnson last Sunday.(Reggie and the guys are the happiest, enthusiastic bunch. Positively addictive!!!)Your venues are always impressive, hospitable, accomodating and truly the kindest folks are helping out there. We tried your new spice wine-incredible! Matter of fact-your whole wine list is outstanding, I seem to come out just often enough for the music and to replace my stock. Just wondering out loud here- Have you considered a farmer's market of sorts on your festival days and summer concerts? Just seems like the most beautiful of venues-music, wine, local produce and artisan products...(Although, with your growing business, this may seem like one more thing on top of your already mountain of obligations- though I can't help but wonder if even more people would come and partake with this added venture.) Anyway- the joy you have created there and shared with so many, thanks so much for doing what you do, cheers! Take care- Terry Starks Beauregards Farm Williamsville, Illinois |

Not only is the wine and ambiance amazing, but so are all of you. It's nice to meet the owners and actually get to chat with you about your wonderful winery. And I have to mention Mark's sister. I believe her name is Barb - love her!! She gave Jim and I a tour of the wine-making factory. Very cool!! I also, heard Mark one yet another award - congratulations!! Can't wait to get out there and get some more table grapes. BEST EVER!!! |
