We're thrilled to share our delightful pitstop at Tuscan Hills Winery in Effingham, Illinois as we made our way back to Texas.

So, fasten your seatbelts (or unbuckle them, if you prefer) as we take you on a virtual tour of our memorable visit to Tuscan Hills!
Finding a Gem
One of the joys of RV travel is stumbling upon hidden gems, and Tuscan Hills Winery was no exception. Nestled in the heart of Effingham, this winery welcomed us with open arms. The large gravel lot provided ample space for RVs of all shapes and sizes, and the fact that they allowed generator use was the cherry on top. We were ready to kick back, relax, and savor the experience.
Wine, Wine, and More Wine
Now, let's get to the good stuff – the wine! As we stepped inside the Tuscan Hills Winery, we were greeted by a friendly staff eager to guide us through a tasting adventure. We sampled several of their top-selling wines, each one a delight in its own right. The variety was impressive, catering to every palate. From crisp whites to robust reds, Tuscan Hills had something for everyone.
The Culinary Surprise
While the wine was undoubtedly the star of the show, there was one culinary surprise that had our taste buds dancing – whipped goat cheese and fig dip. Yes, you read that right! This unexpected delight was an explosion of flavors. The creamy, tangy goat cheese paired perfectly with the sweet and slightly nutty fig dip. We couldn't get enough of it! In fact, we loved it so much that we couldn't resist taking some to go, ensuring we could savor the magic of Tuscan Hills even after we hit the open road again. Too bad we forgot to take a picture of it. :)
Our visit to Tuscan Hills Winery was a testament to the hidden treasures you can discover while RVing. From the welcoming atmosphere to the outstanding wine selection and that unforgettable goat cheese and fig dip, this Harvest Hosts stop was a winner in every sense.
