From the very old to the very new! Some of the orchards located in
our region are well over one-hundred years old.
Immigrants came
to this area to start orchards because the climate and
terrain were
perfect for growing fruit. In recent years, grapes have
been added
to the apples and peaches, as the every-growing Shawnee
Hills Wine
Trail emerged as one of the top tourism attractions in
Southernr Illinois.
"So, "take to the hills" ... the Shawnee Hills ...
and visit our wineries and
their neighboring orchard retail shops as
you enjoy the incredible views
of the Shawnee National Forest. Click
