History
Established in 2005.
Welcome! Hidden Lake Winery and Banquet Center, located in rural Aviston, IL, is situated in «Silent Forest,» a wooded parcel of land abounding in local lore.
Our winemaking began in 2004 and is influenced by the German heritage of the farming families who settled this part of Illinois. We have been told of several wineries that flourished here prior to the Prohibition. Zuckerbach vineyard supplies grapes to Hidden Lake Winery and is located on property once farmed by the owner’s father. Zuckerbach («Sugar Creek» in German) is named for a local creek that passes through the county.
At Hidden Lake Winery, our goal is to offer a variety of wines that will satisfy many different palates. Our wines are produced with locally-grown fruit and bottled here in our cellar. Guests can enjoy a glass of wine (or other beverage if desired) in a tranquil setting with old friends, or perhaps with new ones.
Meet the Manager
Ashley L.
Manager
Hello! I have been with Hidden Lake Winery since 2007 and worked my way up. I started at Hidden Lake as a banquet server serving weddings and quickly moved to a bartending position. While bartending I would also act as receptionist during the week. In 2011 I was promoted to Event Coordinator, which was such fun position. I was able to help couples on one of the most important days of their life and absolutely enjoyed seeing them so happy at the end of the night. Along with Event Coordinating I have my hands in quite a bit of other areas– I am part of the marketing and advertising team and control all avenues of social media. In 2015 I have been promoted to General Manger and am thrilled to receive this position. I enjoy working at Hidden Lake Winery and want to give every customer who enters Hidden Lake Winery a positive and enjoyable experience.
