To learn more about Owl Creek Vineyard visit www.owlcreekvineyard.com.
Owl Creek Vineyard, Inc. is a small winery and vineyard operation opened in December of 1995. For the 2001 vintage season approximately 51,000 lbs of grapes were crushed at Owl Creek producing about 3200 gallons of wine.
Presently, there are four acres of established vineyard at Owl Creek growing several varities including Chambourcin, Seyval Blanc, Norton, Vignoles, and Niagara. All Owl Creek wines are made exclusively from grapes grown in Southern Illinois. They are natural wines that receive as little processing as possible in order to express the "gout de terroir" or taste of the soil and climate of our region. We do not attempt to imitate European or Californian wines. Our wines are truly rare and unique and can be found nowhere else.
Owl Creek Vineyard is a great stop for visitors, and is located within 10 miles of several B&B's, numerous hiking and biking trails (including Giant City Park) and lots of antique shops.
 The Story of Zengeist:
The Zengeist wine is named after two Barn Owls, Zen and Geist. They are two owls that were injured in seperate incidents. As young birds, they were brought to the Illinois Raptor Center in Decatur, Illinois for rehabilitation. Contributions from the sale of each bottle of Zengeist go to the Illinois Raptor Center to help fund the 'Owls of Illinois' and other educational programs offered by the IRC. Zen and Geist are integral elements of the program which features seven species of owls found in Illinois. By purchasing Zengeist, you are helping to promote the IRC and their educational activities. Barn Owls are an endangered species in Illinois.
