Cooper’s Hawk Winery & Restaurants was born from simple idea while doing a wine tasting at a local restaurant in Illinois. Founder & CEO Tim McEnery followed his dream to create a modern-casual full-service restaurant and bar with a Napa-Style Tasting Room, featuring wines of his own creation. Through years of research, partnerships and hard work, the first Cooper’s Hawk was born in 2005 and a growing company had formed.
