Clarks Run Antiques, Gifts & Wine

We were told to swing by after receiving a free wine tasting card from their sister location down the street! After being extremely pleased we followed pursuit to continued happiness and bliss and enjoyed more than a few glasses and samples! The staff is uncanny and we had better luck with our guy the second day (first day was a little rough but she may have been having a tough day!) But the moral is we came back the next day! We loved the antique vibe mixed with the town vibe mixed with the wines and apple pie shots!! What wonderful blend Utica all together as one!! See you back for a third time this winter!!

My wife and I found this cozy little shop tucked away in Utica, IL. Clark's Run is a very nice antique, gift and specialty shop. This was a our second time here. We accidentally found it when we were walking around the Burgoo festival for the first time. Clark's has a really good selection of antiques and gifts, there is something for everyone. Before you leave please don't forget to stop in at their bar. At the bar you will find a fine assortment of some very good wines. If you are not sure what you might like, no problem. They offer a wine taste. There's a very good chance that you will find a wine that you really like. This was our second time here and yes, we did take two bottles home with us.
So if you find yourself traveling through the area or through Illinois and you see the sign for Utica take the short detour. It will be worth the visit. Life is much to short not to stop off somewhere and enjoy life. You never know what you might find.
As always, please be safe in your travels.

Wine, antiques, and a great patio that’s dog friendly? What’s more to love? The antique and wine selection is great. They have a lot of Illinois featured wines.

Nice people, nice front porch area, nice all around. Definitely worth a visit. It is at a dead end road..u can get a drink and sit on the front porch area and listen to live music.

Great little antique shop with a winery attached...who could ask for more. The owners are wonderful people. A short 1/4 mile into the center of town and many restaurants and a small museum.
