  Very disappointing!  I had been looking forward to visiting this place as it's local and I heard great things. After our visit, like many businesses in Long Grove, I gather that Wine Splash is experiencing problems. No sushi as promised in the menu. No wine flights like my friend had enjoyed on a previous visit.  
  
  There was a $10 bottle charge if you purchase a bottle from their "store."  The service was inattentive -- with our $10 glass of wine -- we had to continually ask for more water which were served in tacky plastic cups.  Flatbread pizza was overpriced and lukewarm.  
  
  The place is super cute -- well appointed.  Will I be back? Maybe in the summertime when we can sit outside and enjoy our $10 glass of wine.  Don't go there with an appetite!  Such potential.

  Great addition to Long Grove being a local.  Especially enjoyable when the weather is nice and they have live music on Saturday afternoons.  We bring our 3 year old and stay for hours.

  Fantastic new venue in Long Grove. Great staff, wonderful wine selection and great setting. Nice benefits to their wine club - be sure to ask about it. Highly recommend the flat bread pizza.

  Just what Long Grove needed!   Yea!    First visit - had a very enjoyable time!    Wine selection great, service and staff very accommodating and friendly.    Will definitely come back.    Two suggestions however:     During summer season, please spray for mosquitos before opening - we were eaten up alive.     Also, don't allow patrons to smoke in patio area.  Law requires 25 feet from building.    Sipping wine, enjoying late summer garden smells and a beautiful sky - then some clown lights up a cigarette and ruins it all.   We had to pick up and move away.    Just some suggestions.   Best of luck.   You deserve it!

  I recently started getting into wine, so I have been going to different wine places to expand my palate through various tastings.  Wine Splash in Long Grove opened shortly after the Strawberry Festival.  I knew I had to check it out after the owners said hello during the fest and played with my friend's dog.  So when I returned to the Strawberry Fest the following day I went to their tent and had a glass of the Strawberry Wine.  It was a red based wine (I am usually a white wine girl) but I really enjoyed it.
  
  I went back on a date last night and the parking lot was full.  I was excited to get the last spot.  Apparently on Thursdays, they do a craft beer tasting and a wine flight.  You can also order certain wines by the glass or half glass.
  
  They have a beautiful outdoor patio area, but we took a seat inside because it was still pretty hot outside.  The interior is beautiful, you really have to explore the entire place!
  
  I ordered a glass of the white sangria.  It was a pretty heavy pour garnished with fresh fruit.  It was super yummy.  I then had some of the chilled Moscato that they were offering by the glass.  It was so good that I got a bottle to go!
  
  They offer some small bites here.  They brought us out chocolates, crackers and raw almonds to sample with our wines.  They were also offering a bacon platter to go with the beer tasting.
  
  The staff were super friendly and talkative.  They seemed to make everyone feel right at home!  I think I may become a regular here!  I just wish they were open later, but I guess they are trying to work that out with the Village of Long Grove!
