I’ve been meaning to stop by and check out Tres Rojas Winery for some time now. It sounds like a unique place and I’ve heard good things about it.
Well, when I heard that my friend, Kathy was part of a Songwriters in the Round show hosted by James Herr last Sunday, I decided that would be the perfect day to stop on out there and take a look around.
And so that’s exactly what I did. See how these things fall into place here? Okay, off we go to Tres Rojas Winery!

Bar Number 65: Tres Rojas Winery, Sunday, March 15, 2026
Here we are at Tres Rojas Winery in Washington, Illinois. Wow, that’s a nice looking bar they have in here. Let’s go up and see what’s going on over there!
Chetna was working behind the bar and she happily helped me pick out a type of wine to sample, since I know nothing about wine!
And there it is, ladies and gentlemen, the first glass of wine of this 365 bar tour! Thanks to Chetna for helping out with the selection, it was delicious!
As you can see, they have quite the selection of wine in here and you can see the entire list by clicking here.
They also have craft beers and other drink selections available here.
Lisa is the co-owner of Tres Rojas Winery along with her husband, Bob. She said things are going great out here and they’re looking forward to the spring and summer season happening soon. You can read all about the story of Tres Rojas right here.
Wonderful to meet and chat with Lisa!
There’s a large room with tables opposite the bar to relax at and enjoy your drinks.
And of course they have a large selection of bottles of wine to purchase in here.
There’s also fresh candy, Butch’s pizza and various crackers and dips to munch on in here while enjoying your wine.
I was very impressed with the bar and the service in here and there’s the room where today’s show is happening. Let’s go in and check it out.
There’s my friends Steve and Kathy!
As I mentioned at the start of this, Kathy is part of the show today. Her stage name is Kathy Folkulele and you can follow her on facecrack and here she is talking about today’s show and singing a song on 25 News!
There’s the room and some of the people attending today’s show. The mixer is all set up and the stage is ready to go with everyone’s instruments in their respective places.
Looks like it’s showtime at Tres Rojas Winery!
Here’s the host of the monthly Songwriters in the Round Show, James Herr, opening the show up.
James is hosting his birthday show here on April 12, so you should try and make it out for that show! He’s sounding fabulous today!
The singing songwriters for this performance include, from the top: Kathy Folkulele, Bruce Moon and Nicole Montgomery.
It was an enjoyable afternoon of music and hearing these songwriters tell the stories behind their songs and their personal ways of crafting stories and feelings into a piece of music.
Everyone sounded fabulous and it was such an enjoyable afternoon!
Thanks to all four musicians for a wonderful show and the fantastic music!
After the show I had one last stop at the bar. This was a fun afternoon at Tres Rojas Winery!

The Drinks
I had a glass of wine and a Busch Light Tallboy. Yeah, I know it’s a little tacky to drink a tallboy in a winery, but, as Walter once said, “That’s the way it is.”
