Bikers and hikers will be happy to know that Indian Creek Vineyard is located only 1.5 miles west of the Rock Island Trail State Park trailhead in nearby Toulon. Among the vineyard's more notable grapes are varieties such as Marachel, Frontenac, LaCrosse, St. Croix, and St. Pepin. The wine shop also offers all of the fi nest local Illinois labels.
