VIEWING: SUNDAY, AUGUST 17TH ~ 12-2PM
Hidden Lake Winery & Event Venue presents a rare opportunity to acquire a fully operational winery and premier event destination nestled in the rolling countryside of Aviston, Illinois. Spanning 90± acres across three contiguous parcels, the estate combines two sparkling private lakes, secluded woodlands, and meticulously manicured lawns to create a storybook setting that draws couples, corporations, and wine enthusiasts alike. At the heart of this turnkey operation stands the Main Lodge, where guests are greeted by a welcoming tasting room and bar with both upper and lower seating. Adjoining the tasting area, the champagne room accommodates up to five hundred guests beneath an elegant balcony, while the intimate barrel room hosts eighty guests at its private bar. A full commercial kitchen, a temperature-controlled wine cellar, dedicated office space, and a heavy-equipment garage with workshop complete the lodge’s versatile footprint. Outdoors, celebrations spill onto the covered screened-in porch, the adjacent covered patio, and the expansive wrap-around veranda. Just steps from the Main Lodge lies The Estate, a second event venue distinguished by a grand ballroom with floor-to-ceiling windows and dazzling chandeliers that can host 150 guests. Nearby, the oak room offers an inviting gas-burning fireplace and accommodation for forty guests, making it ideal for rehearsal dinners or smaller gatherings. On the far edge of the property, The Majestic Falls unfolds across a main ballroom for 250 guests, complete with its own private bar, bridal suite, and restrooms. A short stroll leads to a stone patio with a built-in waterfall overlooking the lake, a picture-perfect backdrop for outdoor ceremonies. Hidden Lake Winery’s ten guest cabins, each approximately 440 square feet, offer overnight accommodation for wedding parties and weekend visitors. Every cabin features a propane gas fireplace, window-mounted air-conditioning, mini-split climate control and a luxurious whirlpool tub, ensuring comfort and privacy for all guests. Beyond the event spaces and lodging, the property’s outdoor amenities are equally compelling. An expansive lakeside patio and gazebo overlook the main lake, while a secluded gazebo tucked into the surrounding woods offers an intimate retreat. These settings enhance the estate’s appeal for photo backdrops, cocktail hours, and sunset celebrations. With three distinct venues, established branding as Hidden Lake Winery and multiple revenue streams from events, lodging, wine tasting and equipment rental, this turnkey property is a true must-see for any investor, winemaker, or restaurateur.
