Lincoln Heritage Winery

Open: Year-Round

Our History

Lincoln Heritage Winery, located in the Shawnee Hills AVA, grew out of the vision and teamwork of Homer and Bonnie Cissell.

Bonnie worked with one of the leading German wine companies in the U. S. which led to a lifelong interest, not just in German wines, but with all wines. She was the first Executive Director of the Illinois Grape and Wine Resources Council at Southern Illinois University in Carbondale and has taught wine appreciation classes in California.
