Grundy Chamber welcomes Gilted Edge Winery as new member

NEWARK – The Grundy County Chamber is thrilled to celebrate its new member Gilted Edge Winery, a winery, tasting room, and event space.

Gilted Edge is located at 9396 Plattville Road in Newark, just 15 minutes from Morris north on Route 47. Owned by Ken and Laura Loos, the winery has been open 2 years and employs six people.

“We specialize in Bourbon-barrel aged wines and true to fruit flavors- creating California flavors right here in the Midwest,” said Ken Loos, who is also the winemaker, in a news release.

Family-owned and operated, Gilted Edge is a boutique winery located on beautiful farm property offering a quant and peaceful environment. Throughout the year Gilted Edge also offers live music, candle making events, food trucks, themed events and more.

“We are forever creating and there is no limit to what can be done. We offer a venue space and rental options for any gathering or event,” Laura Loos said. “We look forward to welcoming you to the farm setting and enjoying the rustic charm along with fantastic wine.”

The Grundy County Chamber of Commerce & Industry held a celebratory ribbon cutting for the new member with the Gilted Edge team, Chamber representatives and ambassadors, and Kendall County Board Chairman Matt Kellogg.

In addition to future wine releases in the fall and their annual Reserve Line Bottles and Bourbon Barrel Aged Bottles, the Loos are looking forward to expanding the winery to offer weddings starting in 2026.

“Gilted Edge is a beautiful place for a date night, an outing with friends, and for special occasions. We hope to help our Grundy County businesses and residents discover this unique small business right up the road from our county seat,” said Christina Van Yperen, Grundy Chamber President & CEO.

The winery is open Thursday from 4-8 p.m., Friday 2-8 p.m., Saturday 12-9 p.m. and Sunday 12-5 p.m.
