Villa Marie marries the perfect wine climate of Illinois with the fabulous grapes of the world to create new Illinois wines for the 21st Century while still embodying tradition. Villa Marie is a story of a family, a love, and a land. John Drost married Mary Grizio and created a romance and a legacy.
Their daughter founded Villa Marie to honor the cherished memory of Mary; whose love and guiding hand instilled a respect for hard work, dedication, and perseverance. John Drost, a local boy, was a successful semi-pro baseball player, who came home to marry a local girl and serve 13 years as the Mayor of Maryville until his death. They would be extremely proud to see the Grizio - Drost family's heritage enshrined in the gorgeous Villa Marie vineyard, winery and banquet complex.
