As far as wineries go, there are much better wines and places with a larger selection. However, on principle alone, I will NEVER financially support this business again. The owner does not require staff or patrons to wear masks, even when inside, even within 6' of others, even when serving wine, EVEN WHEN SOMEONE POLITELY ASKS for an employee to wear one.
To have such a self-serving attitude in light of a health crisis is so despicable. I will never, ever, EVER support this business again.

Never in my life have I been to a winery or any establishment and was treated so rudely. I was here recently for a small vendor show as a vendor and the lady at the counter named Karen treated us like garbage. First, I asked politely if they have a WiFi password we could use for online order and so on. She scoffed at me and told me no. Okay that's fine. I then asked if they had strawberry wine because my husband and I purchased a bottle from what I thought was them at Wine on the Fox. She states, "nope wasn't us" and rudely rolled her eyes and stated "never have we ever

Have bought the wines many times before for gifts and for my own use. Also have taken advantage of the Groupons whenever they are offered. The wine is fantastic and it's a plus that they are local. Took the tour with a friend, also a Groupon. We learned so much about their process and about the botttling and corking process. Everyone is very helpful and the store is stocked with not only wine but all kinds of gift items. They will even design a gift basket to your specifications.

Always a great and relaxing time when my wife and I want some wine. Great atmosphere and the staff is always helpful. Events throughout the year adds new knowledge about various wines and the way they are made. We have had cheese, chocolate and have been present for numerous events such as new barrel wine tasting.
I will be there soon as I heard they are looking at having micro-brewed beers for local areas on the weekends and the tail end of the week.
Great time and so many choices, you are guaranteed to find something you like.
I read the low scoring reviews....I would disagree with those

Love the wine of the month club! I'm on the ever-other-month plan getting dry wines. I've not been disappointed. The wine is typically good. I have my favorites for sure! The variety is incredible for such a small-town winery. They do free tastings every day. The wine makes great hostess gifts and I love how local everything is. They have their own vineyard nearby.

Right down the street from my parent's house, I thought this would be a good trip. Though it's in an odd-looking area, it's a cute building that changed business hands for a while, until the winery moved in.
The biggest problem, is the hours. 6pm? That's so early! Not late enough to enjoy after dinner, and too early to likely make it before you're home from work.
All that aside, the wine is good, and the store is cute. Just not ideal timing!

I'm not sure why the mixed reviews on here but I promised myself I wouldn't let them get in my way or my opinion of this place.
I bought a groupon for a winery tour/tasting and I wasn't sure what to expect for the tour as it was raining most of the day yesterday. I called in advance and they let me know what the upcoming tours/tastings were for the upcoming weekends so I got in for a 3:00 yesterday. The vineyard is a few miles down the road from the actual location so the tour was indoors. I've been to MANY winery tours all over the place and if you've heard one...you

This was my first winery / wine tasting, so I really don't have much to compare it to. But overall it was a good experience. $8 for a flight of wine tasting glasses I felt was a good value and the wine was pretty good.
We ended up leaving with 2 bottles to take home.
Overall if you are down town Naperville and are looking for something , give it a try.

If you know anything at all about wine please don't go here. I don't know what I was thinking. Groupon just sucks me in sometimes. I wasn't expecting to find a favorite wine here, but I was expecting friendly service.
This place doesn't even deserve a review, so I will just make a few points.
1. The wine is awful. I make wine (from Napa grapes shipped in) and my worst bottle is 100 times better than the "best" offered here.
2. The owner (not the man- he was alright) but the woman. Please. Get over yourself. You own a winery in Northern Illinois. She ignored us

Ever since my brother moved to Plano, I've been driving past Fox Valley Winery on my way to visit him. A few weeks ago, I finally stopped to check the place out - and I'm so glad that I did!
My friend and I enjoyed three complimentary samples at the tasting bar. My wine preference veers toward the dry and the winemaker himself made three excellent recommendations. I wound up purchasing two bottles of wine and making a mental note to come back before the holidays to pick up a few bottles of Spice Wine, which tastes like Christmas in a bottle.
I was also impressed that they had wines
