Von Jakob Vineyard (Alto Pass)

Von Jakob Vineyard welcomes you and yours. We are "Little Germany" located on the Shawnee National Forest hills in the Illinois Ozarks. Owners Dr. Paul and Rhoda Jacobs have planted their ideal grape growing ground and incorporated the winery buildings around our family’s Tudor home to give a warm, welcome feeling. Located on the Shawnee Hills Wine Trail, Von Jakob offers an enjoyable atmosphere at our two beautiful locations. Our spacious decks (covered and uncovered) and cozy fireplaces provide an opportunity to relax and unwind any time of the year. With over 20 varieties of wine and a growing craft brewery, there is sure to be something for everyone. And when hunger strikes, we have a delicious menu that will satisfy your taste buds. Enjoy everything from snacks like our antipasti platter and cheese trays to our famous German Beef Brisket and Grapevine Smoked Barbecue sandwiches which are available throughout the week year round. Also, don’t forget to check out our gift shop which has a little something for everyone.
