Tasting Devine

We love this place and we are members. The wine selection is good from moderately serious reds to sweet wines. this is great place for people trying to find what they really like. the grapes aren’t local but the wine is. we come in a least once month with our 5 year old who likes the cheese platter and the staff is great with him. most of the staff know the wines well and the ones that don’t are always will to go find out for you.

we are wine club members at lyfred (the roselle location) and have tried to visit all of the tasting rooms as well. The wines are very good and so far the service at all locations has been great. The only complaint I have is that if you take a wine club membership out at one location you can’t pick up from another, I wish they could link their systems up.

Love, love, LOVE Wheaton Tasting Devine! Been coming here for years with my best friends for some «girl time.» We love the people that have worked there in the past and whop work there now, especially Bev. Oh and of COURSE we love Lynfred Wine!

Tasting Devine, you are my favorite place to relax with wine. They have a few outdoor tables and plenty of indoor seating. I love to sit outside on a nice day, taste some wine, and enjoy a cheese plate. The service is friendly and the wines are great.
I only wish they offered other food options. Though, the large cheese plate is nice. 3 or 4 kinds of cheese, sausage, grapes, trail mix, and chocolate covered pretzels.
This place is so much more laid back than Roselle.

I have been dying to try out this place! Its right down the street from my house and office and the feelings of envy I have when I see people on the front terrace only drew me more to this location. The winery is a store inside and also has a large bar for the wine tasting. The store is quaint and charming and even their bathroom has a homely feeling. My friend and I went up to the bar to request outdoor seating from one of the ladies at the bar. She gave us a weird look after she heard our request and said that we could butttttt we would have to buy food as though we could not afford it. We asked how much the food was and what were the options and she stated that you could buy a small sized cheese and grapes plate for only 4 dollars that fed two people and we were a little unsure why she did not think we would want to eat the cheese platter. We were led to our table where our wine tasting began. It is nine dollars for seven tastings of wine. You start out with the sweeter white wines and end with the dry wines. You can even sample two sangria for what I believe was three dollars. The prices are affordable and reasonable. The same lady who we encountered at the bar was also our server and simply just poured our wine and did not explain anything to us whatsoever. She even acted as though we were just a chore to her. Halfway through our wine tastings, the other lady server started pouring us wine and she was more friendly and explained what she was pouring for us. A few seconds later though our previous server came back with the exact same wine. It was as though they were lacking in communication on who was serving us because this incident happened a few times. In terms of the flavor of the wine, some of the wine was flavorful and others were bland and not impressive, and I was expecting more. When we paid our bills, my friends was 9.00 and somehow mine became 19.00 even though we had the exact same thing, except I bought the cheese platter for four dollars, which increased it to 13.00, but not 19.00. I had to inform the second waitress who had already taken my money to return my change, and she did apologize. Overall, there are better tasting locations where you feel more welcome, it is more organized, and wine is actually explained and not just poured.

My husband and I have been coming to Tasting DeVine for the past 3 years and it is, by far, one of our favorite date night places! We both feel that the pours are VERY generous and have such a great time tasting all of the different wines offered. Every month, there is a new wine that I have never tried. We both truly enjoy studying and tasting all different wines and can appreciate the great quality that Lynfred offers. All of the staff at Tasting DeVine are WONDERFUL, very friendly, very knowledgable, and welcoming to a wide variety of wine drinkers. I cannot speak more highly of Tasting DeVine and hope you will enjoy it as much as we do!

We have such a great time grabbing drinks at this place every time we stop in! Great place to try new wines and purchase bottles to take home and enjoy. Love the atmosphere and the outstanding service!

This is hands down the best wine tasting dupage county has to offer. Staff is very knowledgeable and the price is great.

I come here once a year around Christmas with my brother and his wife. It is a great place to relax and hang out for an hour or two. The sommelier was knowledgeable about his wines, didn’t push us faster than we wanted to go, and gave a good pour. Usually I would be turned off by a $ 9 price tag for 7 tastes but they really do make it worth it. The taste of the wine is about average so if you are looking for an earth shattering wine, look elsewhere. If you are looking for a great date night, stop in. See you next year!

I love Lynfred wines!!! It has become my new obsession. When I found out that they had a tasting room (that stayed open longer than their winery) I knew I needed to stop by.
The tasting room is really cute with some small tables set up as well as a gift shop. We were able to snag a table and a hostess came up to us right away and started our tasting. She didn’t mention swapping any of the wines out (you can do this at the winery) so I am not sure if it was an option. Since we didn’t ask, we just ended up skipping one of the reds altogether. We were also given a few cubes of bread which was nice to soak up the alcohol.
We visited right after Christmas so all of their ornaments were also on sale. I picked up a cute rhinestone wine glass ornament… hopefully I remember where I put it come Christmas time!

Nice place, friendly staff, good selection of wine oriented gifts and tools. The wine selection is pretty good, and the tasting sessions are very inexpensive especially considering the generous tasting portions that they give you!

Hubby and I visited on Monday evening and had a wonderful time. Dick took great care of us and spent alot of time explaining the nuances of their wines. He was friendly, respectful and gave us an extra, complimentary taste too. Yes we had to stand the entire time but we didnt mind it and could have sat at a cozy table instead. The décor was old world and they sold lots of cute wine/​gift items.
The wines were on the dryer side which we liked. They werent amazing but several of the tastings were great. We thought they werz good enough to puchase 2 bottles.
We had a fabulous time even though the wine itself was just ok. Go for the experience, relax and you will enjoy!!!

Tasting Devine is cute. It fits right in with it’s boutique surroundings in downtown Wheaton. I would say that it’s a lot like a Starbucks. There’s a lot of wine stuff for sale, a counter for ordering, and small tables for relaxing with a nice glass.
My party of four went for a scheduled wine tasting. We sat at small table (too small for all of us, but we didn’t mind). A lady brought us pieces of paper with the descriptions of their wines and explained that the tastings begin with the white wines on top and move through to the reds. She also gave us a plate of dried bread pieces for palette cleansers.
Glasses were brought for the white wines and then were refilled three more times until the whites were finished. New glasses were brought for the reds and refilled for each tasting after that. All together we tried eight wines.
Three different employees served us, each introducing their wines as they poured and then left us to drink. They really did not do a good job of explaining wine to us. Most of our knowledge came from reading the descriptions on the paper.
The staff were friendly and a little casual. They turned off the ceiling fans when they saw that I was cold. I suppose they just weren’t very talkative about their wines. They also didn’t pressure us to buy anything whatsoever.
We paid an additional $ 3.50 each to try a special cherry wine which we all believed to be the best. In fact, we all agreed that their fruit wines were amazing. The rest of the wines had mixed reactions.
We also agreed that the wines were insanely expensive. The prices ranged from about $ 15 to $ 35. Most of them were about $ 22. There are definitely other good wines available for less, but we bought two of our favorites and a large jar of cranberry horseradish mustard.
There were many people standing at the bar and tasting wine. I felt bad for them because there weren’t any bar stools and there definitely wasn’t enough seating area for everyone.

I really want to like Tasting Devine– but there’s really nothing devine about the place. The atmosphere is cold, nothing very inviting. They have a lot of gifts, which is nice, but I wouldn’t make the trip to just for that.
They do wine tasting of their Lynfred Wines — it’s about $ 7 for about 7 pours. You stand at the bar while tasting– which is very uncomfortable, especially if you plan on hanging around for a while. And — to be honest, there is nothing special about their wines. I drink wine a lot, I’m not a wine snob by any means. but, unfortunately, I have never found a wine that I like at Tasting Devine.
Service: meh. nothing special. There hasn’t been a time when someone has actually gone out of their way to make the experience more enjoyable.
Also, you can order snacks while you sip a glass. but you’d be better off having a drink/​appetizer at Cellar Bistro down the street.
I would recommend taking the trip to Roselle and visiting the winery though. again, not for the wine, but it’s a pretty good tour.

It is a new thing for my friends and I to come here for a tasting once a month, since my friend joined the wine of the month club. I enjoy sitting in a quiet, comfortable place and trying wines with my wine lover friends. They even have me trying the red wines! They are very generous with their samples and very informative.
We really like the gentleman that works there with the glasses, one day I will catch his name. He’s very fast at getting us the next sample and he will answer our questions.

This place is alright. I used to go here quite often with friends for tastings, but we all stopped going when they nearly doubled the prices of their tastings and cut the quality of their service in half.
I highly recommend the Blackberry, Blueberry, and Strawberry Rhubarb wines.
Meh, I’ll be back to show my beautiful face here again, but only because my friends host wine tastings here.

I just got home from a wonderful afternoon at Tasting Devine.
My man and I went there hoping to relax, chat, and try some new wines. The service was great, friendly, and helpful with all of our questions.
The deal is 7 wines for 9 dollars. It was quite a bit of wine and a little over an hour and a half. The wines were good, the place was clean, and we felt comfortable to talk and enjoy our time there. When we arrived, the place was a little empty and we got a nice spot at a round table by the window. Despite the snow storm, it was a bright sunny day. Perfect for sitting beside a big clean window.
It was such a positive experience that we are considering becoming members, but if not, at least going back very soon for another tasting! What a great, easy, and relaxing way to spend an afternoon.

Let me start by saying Tasting Devine once was a 5-​star establishment all the way. Back when their tastings cost $ 5 and the staff was super knowledgeable and friendly.
I’ve been back to see the price of tastings soar to $ 9 which is fine as long as it is twice as good as the previous tastings. It’s not. The quality of Lynfred wines is unfortunately what you’d expect for Illinois winery. Some of the wines are good and some go immediately into the spit bucket.
The place is always too crowded and they could benefit from more seating and wine tchotchke. There was a time when an employee would run over to Graham’s chocolates and get dark chocolates to go with the red wine for the people in shop. The service now is curt and borders on rude. I know you’re busy but this is your job at least pretend to be happy. I asked a woman behind the bar about a wine and she directed me to the 2 sentence description on the tasting sheet (I can read I was looking for additional info).
I think Tasting Devine may have fallen victim to its own success.

A nice place to sample, drink, and buy wine; but the employees are not as pleasant and helpful as the Naperville or Roselle locations.
Strangely, they also draw a completely different crowd of customers. The ones that were there when I stopped by were loud and boisterous. At Naperville and Roselle, I am used to seing a more reserved, refined, and upscale clientele.

This is a great non-​intimidating atmosphere to learn about and sample Lynfred wines. Walked in for their $ 9 wine tasting that included 7 wines (3 whites, 3 reds, and one dessert) and a small plate of bread. For $ 5 you can get a plate of cheese and fruits.
We sat at one of the tiny barrel top tables which I thought were cute but the grapes paraphernalia was a bit overboard (from bunches of grapes lit up to the grape booth backboard to the stain glass grape lamps). It’s definitely a small town feel.
The man that helped us was more than patient, informative, and hilarious all at the same time. He even helped us out with our weekend plans by telling us about an Oktoberfest that Lynfred Winery hosts during the last weekend of September (pig roast + grape stomping=fall fun!).
