SHALE LAKE

 Offering a unique venue for event & wedding celebrations. The 2500 sq.ft. Insulated barn space can be converted between an air conditioned indoor event room and a covered outdoor expandable space. The renovated horse barn has 8 stall doors to combine the indoor area with the 2080 sq.ft. Covered outdoor deck. There are two ceremony choices; the pasture serves as a beautiful setting with a rustic board walk leading up to an aged cottonwood tree, or use the tree lined grove with its permanent stage (coming soon).

On Dec 15, 2023, we will be closing the Winery.  JUST THE WINERY.  We will continue to operate the Wedding Venue and the Cabins.  We never dreamed the Winery would be as successful as it has been.  We are proud of what we have accomplished.  We have sold over 45,000 bottles of wine in the last 13 years.  100% made in a tiny little room in Williamson, IL! We have met so many good people and made so many friends.  We have shared the work load with Wine Servers who mean the world to us.  We have travelers who come back year after year.  We have had some crazy events, always roping in half of our family and friends. There has been laughter, tears and exhaustion but we have always had fun!It has truly been an honor to “own the Winery” within this community that embraced us and built us up!  We are grateful and we are looking forward to reclaiming our weekends.    David and Susan
