About
Immerse yourself in the rich tapestry of American winemaking at Illinois' oldest winery, a quaint family-run jewel nestled in the heart of the historic town of Nauvoo. Established in 1857 by the pioneering duo, Emile and Annette Baxter, this winery has aged as gracefully as the fine wines it produces. Today, under the meticulous care of Kelly and Brenda Logan, direct descendants of the Baxters, the winery continues a time-honored tradition of grape growing and wine crafting, steeped in historical significance. RV camping enthusiasts with a palate for exquisite wines will find themselves at the perfect stopover. Imagine settling into a serene spot, surrounded by the lush vistas of Nauvoo, where the storytelling landscape is as compelling as the wines themselves. This charming locale doesn't just offer a taste of delectable wines but also a slice of history, making it a unique experience for RV campers. A stone's throw away, adventurers can explore the scenic trails of a nearby state park, inviting you to connect with nature's untouched beauty. Moreover, if your travels bring you here around Labor Day weekend, you're in for a treat as the town buzzes with the excitement of the Nauvoo Grape Festival. This local festivity pairs community spirit with the town's rich viticulture heritage, promising fun-filled activities and, of course, excellent wine tasting opportunities. Whether you're a wine connoisseur or a history buff, RV camping near Illinois' oldest winery offers an unparalleled opportunity to engage with the echoes of the past while indulging in the present's fruits. Revel in the warm hospitality of a family legacy that has flourished through generations, and make your RV adventure one for the books.
