Reviews for Monte Alegre Vineyard/Cellars in Carbondale, IL
Delicious wines especially the Chambourcin and Fond de Cave for me personally. Wonderful atmosphere. Our wine guide was super... knowledgeable and fun! Family-owned. Must go. Read more
We found this lovely vineyard by accident while visiting family. I loved everything about it. The music on the background, the... service, the wine and the view. So small, cozy and romantic. Now we'll have to stop by every time we visit. Read more
This was our first time here and it is super quaint with a great location. The staff is super nice and personable. Robin was... great and took time to walk us through all of the wines, you can even see where they make the wines through a window in thelobby. All of the wines were fantastic and I would definitely recommend stopping in here if you haven't before! Read more
My husband and I visited Monte Alegre and enjoyed it! With COVID restrictions, we were not able to do a tasting but the staff... was very welcoming and informative on the bottles for sale. We bought a bottle of rosé and walked the grounds, a quiet, lovelyafternoon. Read more
I have been in many vineyards and never have such a good experience as in this one. Owner was very friendly, easy to talk to and... knowledgeable. We only bought one bottle because we already had few bottles of wine from others winerys in our trunk. Highlyrecommed Monte Alegre Vineyard Read more
The wine and experience were both amazing! We got served by the owner and maker himself for our wine tasting and he didn't just... pour us some wine and walk away, he explained what each wine went best with for food or snacks and a bit about the wine itself.If you want a relaxing experience for wine tasting, I highly recommend here!

This was actually my first visit to a winery where I got to have a wine tasting, but I thought this place was so amazing. My mom... and I went there today, as part of our weekend trip of Southern Illinois wineries (I call it Paradise Lush), and we wereimmediately greeted by the sweetest dog and the most cordial owner, David. He was extremely welcoming and friendly the entiretime we were there, he gave us very in-depth information on the wines we were tasting and how they were prepared, and the wineitself was better than anything I'd ever had. I'm not a big wine person and I don't care for dry reds just yet, but all of thereds we tasted had such amazing flavors and the complementary foods he served brought each flavor out perfectly. We left a wholecase of wine and new friends, so I would highly recommend this to anyone who is enthusiastic about wine, or even learning moreabout it! Read more
Quite casual atmosphere with some really good wine. Great place for a relaxing afternoon.
