Love this place!  It's absolutely gorgeous -- vineyards surrounded by cornfields.  They have free live music on weekends and for about $10 you can also eat dinner catered by the Marengo restaurant "Phat Daddy's" (It's usually burgers/chix sandwich/etc.)  There are two or three big fire pits with plenty of seating around them.  Take your lawn chairs and enjoy!

John's Grocery is known to have one of the best beer selections in the Midwest, and maybe in the country.  They have an incredible variety of beers and wines, and staff who are super friendly and knowledgeable about their products.  On more than one occasion, we have been there when the owner (John's grandson, I think?) was there and he's always in the beer area with a bottle opener inviting you to sample a bottle with him.  In between the amazing beers and wines, John's is very college-grocery-store feeling -- definitely a one-of-its-kind!

Great selection of craft beers and fresh baked goods. A bit more expensive than other grocers but a totally different selection of items. Also convenient location to downtown.

You can go out into the field and cut your own pumpkin here.  They also have a big "corn pit" for the kids to play in and "train" rides for $2.

A fun place to go for the day if you like to shop and find novelty items or unique wines/cheeses. 

Yummy restaurants serve family-style meals (with pie!).  We like the Colony Inn, but there are several other similar places -- everyone kind of has their favorite.  They also have delicious breakfasts!

There are a few fun wineries up there, with the regular varieties as well as a bunch of fruit wines -- raspberry, peach, dandelion, rhubarb, etc.  Definitely fun to go do a little wine tasting and sample some cheeses!

Millstream Brewery is a fun place -- have a drink and enjoy their outside patio area.

Fun for family, beautiful.

Absolutely worth the little jaunt out there to enjoy an amazing apple turnover with cinnamon ice cream... yummmm....

They also have a pumpkin patch after the apples are harvested!
