Pomona Winery was the first stop during our trip to Southern Illinois Wine Country. What separates Pomona from the rest of the wineries on the Shawnee Hills Wine Train is that all of their wines are made with local fruit, but not grapes. Most of the wines at Pomona are made with apples, while some of their desert wines being made with berries and other fruits.

The staff at Pomona Winery was very informative and they led us through their entire wine list. As they poured, they would teach us a bit, talking a lot about the types of food that would complement each wine. All of the wines at Pomona were delicious and it was a great way to start our day on the Shawnee Hills Wine Trail.

With their unique variety of fruit and desert wines, knowledgeable staff and friendly atmosphere, Pomona Winery is one of the sure-fire stops on your trip to Southern Illinois Wine Country.
