| How to buy | Illinois MarketMaker, the find-a-farm directory the Illinois Department of Agriculture points to, lists these ways to buy direct: on-farm sales, a farm market, online ordering, retail. Products as published in that directory: Beverage Products, Blends & Generic Wines, Fruit Wine, Red Wine, White Wine, Wine. The farm describes itself this way in its directory profile: After coming home from wine country, our founder sought out prime hilltop acreage in the rolling Shawnee Hills of Southern Illinois. He found just that at what is now Kite Hill Vineyards and purchased the land with the intention of planting wine grapes - all without consulting his wife. Upon hearing his plan she told him to "go fly a kite" and that name ended up sticking to the property. Ever since its start in the late 1990s, Kite Hill has been committed to producing wines of the highest quality possible from Shawnee Hills grapes. The first vintages were produced under contract at another local winery using grapes grown on our property. |
