August Hill Winery operates a beverage manufacturing business centered on crafting hand-made wines at its location atop a bluff overlooking the Illinois River in Peru, Illinois. The winery, which also runs the Illinois Sparkling Co. Tasting Room, emphasizes careful, hands-on winemaking practices from harvest through bottling, with a vineyard established in 2003 and expanded facilities built in 2004. Its offerings extend beyond wine to include artwork, gourmet chocolates, artisan cheeses, and other locally themed items in the tasting room, supporting a broader experience for visitors and local customers. The company serves guests in the Utica and surrounding Illinois region, positioning itself within the regional wine industry by combining production with a venue that showcases regional art and food products. August Hill Winery is owned by Mark and Teri Wenzel, rooted in a family-driven cultivation ethic tied to a long-standing interest in growing premium crops, and it maintains a small-to-medium scale operation with a focus on regional engagement and experiential tastings. A recent development highlights its recognition of events such as Wine on the Hill and Music on the Hill, reflecting ongoing community engagement at its tasting room.
