Geneva Winery & Tasting Room

A New Chapter Begins for a Beloved Geneva Landmark: The Geneva Wine Cellars &amp; Tasting Room Becomes a Family-Owned Wine Bar 
Geneva, IL — The Geneva Wine Cellar &amp; Tasting Room, a cherished piece of Geneva’s history, is entering an exciting new era as the long-standing wine cellar at 227 S. 3rd Street reopens under new, family ownership. A staple of Third Street since the 1980s and located within the historic Berry House—dating back to the late 1800s—the wine cellar has been thoughtfully reimagined while preserving the charm and community spirit that made it a local favorite for decades.
Now owned and operated by Angela and Jordan Moore, alongside both of their parents—Dale and Lynn Engebretson, and Fatima and Tim Moore—this new chapter is truly a family dream brought to life. Since acquiring the business, the family has spent countless evenings restoring and revitalizing the space, blending its rich history with a fresh, welcoming experience for both longtime patrons and new guests.
“We never imagined this opportunity would come at this point in our lives,” said the owners. “This place already means so much to the Geneva community, and it’s been incredibly special to pour ourselves into bringing it back to life as a family.”
The wine bar continues its legacy as a destination for wine lovers, featuring a curated tasting room experience. Guests can enjoy a rotating menu of 16+ wines by the glass, as well as interactive wine machines offering 1 oz., 3 oz., and 5 oz. pours—perfect for sampling and exploration. Enhancing the experience, the tasting room is proud to have two sommeliers on staff who are passionate about wine education and creating meaningful guest experiences as well as a dedicated event planner.
In addition to its signature tasting offerings, the refreshed space now includes a cozy lounge designed for reservations, small private events and group gatherings. Guests can also enjoy a thoughtfully selected lineup of local beers and simple snacks.
The outdoor patio—now open year-round—serves as a vibrant extension of the space, featuring live music on select days and providing a relaxed atmosphere to gather and unwind in every season.
Looking ahead, the wine bar will also introduce a wine club, offering members exclusive pricing, events, and curated experiences.
With its loyal following, dedicated staff, and renewed vision, the Geneva Wine Cellar &amp; Tasting Room is poised to remain a cornerstone of Geneva’s Third Street for years to come—honoring its past while creating new memories for the future.
The grand opening is set for Mother’s Day weekend, featuring a ribbon cutting with the Chamber of Commerce on Friday, May 8th at 2:30 p.m., along with live music throughout the weekend!

From Trench Warfare to Master-Crafted Steel: The Ultimate Firearms &amp; Blades Showcase

The catalog is anchored by a heavy-hitting selection of military surplus and precision rifles, including the matching-number Yugoslavian Zastava M48A, FN Commercial Sporterized Mausers, and the classic M1 Carbine. Shotgun collectors will find everything from the rare, recoil-reducing Browning Japan 12-gauge to 1920s-era American Gun Company "Trade Brand" single-shots. For the blade enthusiast, we are proud to offer a spectacular collection of mint Randall Made knives—true legends of American craftsmanship. This lineup features the formidable Model 12-11 Confederate Bowie, the specialized Model 17 Astro Survival knife, and the classic Model 14 Attack, many featuring pristine stag handles and original sheaths. Those focused on modern utility will also find an impressive array for the concealed carry collector, including Sig Romeo red dot optics and a massive inventory of specialty defense rounds like .45 ACP +P Underwood and .38 Special LRN. Whether you are hunting for a Birmingham-made Parker-Hale Enfield or a high-capacity magazine grouping for a tactical sidearm, the breadth of gear available here is unmatched.
These items represent a time when tools were built to last lifetimes. There is a visceral thrill in Chasing History—finding a 1918 Amberg GEW 98 that still bears the flaming bomb of the U.S. Army Ordnance Department, or feeling the perfect balance of a hand-fitted Randall Arkansas Toothpick. As Auctioneers of antiques. Collectors of cool. Veterans of vintage, we understand that these aren’t just lots; they are tangible connections to the marksmen, soldiers, and craftsmen who came before us.

We are always seeking quality consignments for our upcoming sales. Please send photos of your items to consign@donleyauctions.com. Then we'll make your collection "fit in your wallet."
Preview is Friday before the auction - noon-7pm, and doors open at 8am the day of the auction.&nbsp;
Pickup is immediately following the auction or by appointment. Please call 815-923-7000 to schedule. All purchasers of firearms that will be picking up at the auction hall, must fill out a Form 4473 and wait the allotted time before their firearm is eligible for pick up.

United Methodist Church of Geneva

The United Methodist Church of Geneva is presenting a worship series exploring faith, mental health, and emotional well-being through stories from scripture and the wisdom of local care-centered leaders.
The series is designed to create space for honest reflection on burnout, anxiety, depression, life transitions, grief, addiction and the healing power of community. Rather than offering simplistic answers or suggesting that people should “just pray harder,” the series will affirm the value of counseling, medication when appropriate, grief support, social-emotional learning, trusted relationships, and other healthy practices that support mental and emotional wellbeing.Special Sermon Series:&nbsp; Honest Faith, Honest Feelings<h4>Sunday May 10 - Burnout: “When We Can’t Go On” </h4>
<h4>Elijah reaches the end of his strength, collapsing under exhaustion and despair. God&nbsp;doesn’t&nbsp;shame him for burning out but offers food, rest, and presence. We learn that restoration begins not with more effort, but with God’s care for our bodies and souls.&nbsp;&nbsp;</h4>Community members are invited to participate in person or online. Worship is open to all, including those who are active in church, returning after time away, supporting someone they love, or simply looking for a compassionate place to reflect on faith and mental health.
