Wednesday Day Trip: Frankfort, IL to Blairstown, IA

Day 1: Winery, Adult Arcade & Chicago‑Style Pizza

Morning: Depart Frankfort early and drive north‑west to Prairie Creek Vineyards in St. Charles, IL. Enjoy a relaxed tasting of their award‑winning wines while strolling through the scenic vineyard, then grab a light brunch at the on‑site café.

Afternoon: Continue west on I‑80 toward Iowa and stop at Dave & Buster’s in Davenport, IA. This adult‑focused arcade offers a mix of classic pinball, modern VR games, and a full bar—perfect for a few hours of fun competition and drinks.

Evening: Satisfy your craving for authentic Chicago pizza at Chicago Pizza in Davenport, IA, just a short drive from the arcade. After a hearty slice (or two), head back toward Frankfort, making a brief stop in the town of Galena, IL, for a scenic sunset view before concluding the day.
