VIN312 Winery
When I first discovered the winemaking process, I was hooked. My imagination took off and I was inspired to learn more. Soon I began sharing my wine with family and friends and it wasn't long before I outgrew my small, basement operation in Chicago. Our wine is the product of hard work, passion, and knowledge shared between many different people.

That's what makes wine so interesting to me-there's always more to learn, knowledge to share, and experiences to enjoy. Sharing is at the core of everything we do, and it is our hope that sharing this bottle inspires moments of conversation, friendship, love, and learning. We make wine with grapes sourced from unique grape-growing regions in California and Washington State.

What a gem! We wandered in here and discovered delicious and reasonably priced wines with a knowledgeable guide who shared lighthearted and pleasant commentary on each wine.
We are not getting out of here without purchasing a half case--this wine is a keeper!

Such a pleasant wine tasting experience. It was a chill place with a nice host. All the wines were great but the cab was the best.

Warner is a terrific host. He really knows his stuff and the wines are enjoyable. I recommend the Viognier and the Tannat.

A fun little place to have a glass of wine! You're literally just a few feet away from where they make, blend, and bottle the wine.

We did a Groupon here the other night for a wine tasting and had an amazing time. Madeline, the bartender, thoughtfully explained all of the wines and was very attentive. She couldn't have been nicer or more interesting, a world class bartender.

We got lucky and Warner, the wine maker, was there working during our visit and he walked us through some of the process and answered all of our questions. What an unexpected and cool delight!

Loved this place! I found it out via Groupon. I was looking for a local winery and I was pleasantly surprised to find VIN312. The bartender Roy was very welcoming.
I enjoyed all our tastings and I joined the wine club, of course! I can't wait to go back.

Had a wine tasting for a Bachelorette party and it was great. The owner is very kind and a great conversationalist. He took the time to not only tell us about the wine but about the wine tasting process. The wine was fantastic and we ended up buying a couple bottles. Overall it was a very relaxing and positive experience. If you plan to go with a big group, expect to spend a lot of time there.

I bought 2 groupons for this place and booked it. Got there just before 2 on 8/14 and they were closed. According to the note on the door they've been closed since July (before I booked our event) and are working on getting their liquor license. Why are you still selling groupons and allowing bookings? Very disappointing. Of course Groupon hasn't refunded me for this because since I booked it, it shows used.

Your sign was out front. The store was empty. There were other people waiting outside.

Great wine and atmosphere. I love small wineries where there are stories behind the bar and everything isn't mass produced. Interesting varietals and a great bar staff. Small and intimate. We signed up for the wine club and suggest it 100%

Our tasting consisted of 2 reds, a white, and a cider. The wines were made with grapes from California and the cider from local apples. I dont' usually go to tasting where I enjoy all of the wines that I try but this was one of them. I enjoyed the overall set of wines better than those of any tasting in California. The server, Sabrina, was delightful and did an excellent job taking care of us as well as explaining all of the wines. Food is not served here so I would recommend bring your own met and cheese platter.

Fun local gem! Hidden away, a bit of a speakeasy vibe. Chill. Definitely something to try out, nice variety of ciders and wines.

Sabrina is the best Sommelier expert we could have had during today's wine tasting experience. She was well-informed, insightful and very intelligent. During me and my friends experience she was able to keep us interested but not overwhelmed. The overall experience is definitely a memorable one. Thank you Sabrina for everything. It was the BEST time ever. See you soon. PROMISE.......

Great the lady. Was nice and knowledgeable. They had a Groupon option so check that out if it's still available when you read this. The wine is dry so if that's not your type of wine don't go. I'm not a dry wine drinker so it was interesting but it's worth a visit

We had a great time at VIN312. The staff is lovely and very knowledgeable. The wine is delightful!

I've been hunting for a good local winery and I've found it! Joined the club and can't wait to see what they do next.

This local treasure is a must visit. It has a feel of being in a speakeasy type of place. The wine was exquisite and well balanced. Warner and Sabrina were awesome, they made us feel right at home and gave us the history of how it all started. If you haven't been here, put it on your list!

Love this hidden gem! I've been so curious about trying a Chicago based wine and found it in ravens wood. The owner is amazing and the have tastings every weekend. When I entered I felt very welcome and I learned more about wine in the short time that I was there. My favorite wine so far is the super Tuscan blend. Took some to go. Will definitely be back!

Have wanted to go to this winery as soon as they opened. Finally bought the bundle today and tried the Super Tuscan Blend tonight. I like it so much I can hardly wait to open the Cab and the Merlot. Warner is a really great guy and I look forward to going back and trying out the tasting room.

If you want delicious wine personally served to you by the winemaker over lovely conversation, this is the place for you. Warner, you and your Dad are going to do great things! Thanks for being so nice to our group of friends. And the Rose-ay was delicious. I will certainly be back!

FREE LOCAL DELIVERY during the zombie apocalypse!

This is a wonderful, unpretentious, locally-owned winery that deserves your love in good times -- and definitely needs it in these crazy times.

I happened to need a gift for a co-worker in Chicago, and Warner -- the winemaker himself -- literally brought it to her door. (And hopefully no further than her door, 'cuz viruses.)

We're all stuck inside anyway, so drink up, friends. And when the mayhem ends, go enjoy some good conversations and great wine in Ravenswood.

This is a cute spot next to Band of Bohemia. We saw it while visiting there and have wanted to try it out. We finally made it in today and were pleasantly surprised with the quality of the wine.

The space is "urban rustic" and has a nice vibe to it. We tasted 4 wines and ended up buying 2 bottles. I imagine at some point we will end up joining the wine club, as it is more cost effective and tastings are included. If you would prefer to hang out at the space, you can buy a bottle and sit at the bar area or in one of their areas with couches.

I am looking forward to returning and trying

The winery is a hidden gem in Ravenswood. Walking in you get a very homey feel. The winemaker does an amazing job at explaining the process of winemaking and he seems very passionate in his craft. If you are looking fora new place to unwind and have some great quality wine with some friends, this is the place for you.

Small winery and taste room "hidden" next to Band of Bohemia. Owner is friendly and easy going and it shows in his wines. It feels like this is one of the businesses that starts as a hobby but continues to grow past the tipping point. My wife and I really enjoyed the tasting and went home with a bottle of each (4 different at the time of this review).

Tasting room has a few couches and chairs, so bring some company. Currently only open on weekend nights.

Such a great "speakeasy" type of spot! We had to ask the restaurant next door how to find it, but it is worth the search! This wine bar is cozy and intimate, with twinkle lights and candles at every table. There are couches and comfy velvet chairs all around, plus plenty of seating at the bar where you can chat with the owner, Warner, who will teach you all about the wine he makes. He was kind enough to give us a tour and show us how he produces his wine while we tasted all of the varietals he has to offer. My partner doesn't usually like whites, but absolutely loved the Viognier
