A couple weeks ago I went to the 5 Trails winery in Paxton. Paxton has been known for their Ole’s Cafe restaurant, but I believe 5 Trails is carving their name into the town. Not only does the winery make some of their own wine, but they also brew three different kinds of beer. Similar to other wineries they have a few of the same wines such as Edelweiss and Briana. However, my choice of wine to bring home is their dessert wine called Smooch.

One thing that is unique about this winery are their three Artistian wines they carry. 5 Trails has three wines they make that feature art on the labels. I think it’s great when small businesses showcase and support other local or small businesses, or in this case an emerging artist.

Another unique thing about 5 Trails is the pizza they serve every first and third Saturday of the month. I had the chicken pizza; I enjoyed it so much, I had to take some home so I could enjoy the leftovers the next day.

5 Trails Winery is a great place in a small town to meet up with some friends and spend a few hours enjoying each others company. The owner is very friendly and can definitely get a smile out of his guests. I plan to go back soon, especially for another bottle of wine and delicious pizza.
