HCS is thrilled to celebrate another upgrade with The Kelley's Island Wine Co.!🍷☀️

They’ve been part of the HCS family for over 15 years and recently upgraded their system to SpotOn.

If you’ve ever been to Kelley's Island, there’s a good chance someone has told you to stop at the winery. Between the house-made wines, live music, outdoor patio, pizzas, salads, frozen drinks, and laid-back island atmosphere, it’s become one of the island’s must-visit spots. The goats and chickens on the property just add to the fun, unforgettable experience guests talk about long after their visit.

With KI Cantina right next door serving margaritas, tequila, and Mexican food, it’s the kind of place people plan to stop at for an hour and end up staying all afternoon.

We’re incredibly grateful for their continued trust over the years and proud to keep supporting such an iconic Kelley's Island destination! If you’re heading to the island this season, definitely stop by and show them some love! 🍕🍷🐐
