Small Memories Winery and Meadery

Small Memories Winery & Meadery is a family-owned craft winery and meadery nestled in Ottawa, Illinois — the heart of Starved Rock Country. What began as a family passion for winemaking has grown into a welcoming tasting room and event destination that invites everyone to pull up a chair and stay awhile. We handcraft 30+ wines and meads in small batches, from approachable reds, whites, and fruit wines to an adventurous mead selection — think Bourbon Barrel Aged Mead, Lavender Mead, Wimsey & Spice, and more. Our patio is open in season, dogs are welcome, and we regularly host live music and artisan events. Just minutes from Starved Rock State Park. Open Friday through Sunday. Walk-ins always welcome.
