Amazing place, can't wait to be back in the summer! But even at this time of year the restaurant area is gorgeous, the food is excellent and the wine is outstanding! Definitely worth the drive there!

The wine was delicious. Much to choose from. The host was caring and kind and very attentive. There is some seating outside, overlooking the vines and cornfields. Very peaceful. Will definitely go back!

My wife and went there for the first time. Food was delicious and piping hot. We could see the steam coming off the plates at other tables too. Ambiance was great, and our server, Gina, was outstanding. Prices were very reasonable. We will b going back.

My friends and I had a wonderful experience at Acquaviva Winery! We started with a $16 Sip & Tour which included a glass of wine of your choice while touring the facility to learn about the wine making process. After our tour, we had a delicious lunch of various Italian culinary delights. Some of our faves were the Don Giuseppe (red) wine, the Brianna (white) wine, tiramisu, cannoli, coconut, sorbetto, the most delicious cappuccino I've ever had, Paculo salad, pollo saltimbucco, white fish, Italian sausage w/ pasta, bruschetta, and caprese appetizer. It was pretty rainy on the day we visited but I believe they also will allow you to see/visit a portion of one of their vineyards for a photo opp. Vito, our tour guide and waiter, was a phenomenal host!!! All of the ladies in my group thoroughly enjoyed the spectacular hospitality he showed us throughout our 3.5 hour visit. Vito's parents were born in the southern region of Italy near a town called Acquaviva delle Fonti which is located near the "heel" of the boot-shaped country. They own the winery, vineyards, restaurant, market, and a 6-bedroom house which can be rented for bridal parties for wedding weekends, couples' retreats, or ladies' weekend getaways. I highly recommend a visit to this fabulous venue located in the remote town of Maple Park, IL about 15 minutes east of Northern Illinois University.

Everybody once come here , must fall in love with everything here! Romantic, nature, wonderful taste on the top of tongue! My hubby and I have really enjoyed the food and beautiful view there.

Had a great lunch with a tasting and a tour. Made reservations in advance, they were very accommodating. A wedding was rescheduled to the day of our reservation but because it was later in the day we were still able to come. The food and wine were great, Vito was a great host. His help with the tasting was much appreciated and I found a new favorite wine. The tour was short but full of history, I highly recommend doing the tour with Vito. He and his family are great and I look forward to their winery's future endeavors!
