We had a delicious dinner buffet of pork roast, chicken breasts, salad, green beans, rolls, delightfully seasoned mashed potatoes, and scrumptious pies for dessert. The prices were very reasonable. It was a perfect evening. I can't say enough about Tiffany, her staff, her wines and wine cocktails. She is so professional, kind, and so on point.

They are growing their own grapes and making their own wine too, which not all wineries in Indiana do. Maybe a strong 3 star versus and actual 4, but I'm drinking wine, so let me round up. Wines are mostly sweet as is the case with Indiana wine. We were there right when they opened on a Sunday and were greeted with warmth and welcomes. We were the only ones there until we left about 40 minutes later. Wine was simply OK in my book, but combined with the ambiance of sitting outside, in the shade, amongst the sounds of nature, the rustle of a cool breeze and then add wine....really almost tranquil. I think they need a hammock! It is a beautiful property and we are glad we drove over there to see it and spend some time.

They have flights, so you can sample before you buy a bottle. There are snacks like cheese, nuts and meat, to purchase in a cooler if you are hungry. There are also plenty of beverage choices if you do not wish to have wine, and milk and juice for kiddos if you are visiting with your family. I have always felt comfortable walking in with my kids. We often stopped here on our way from Indianapolis to St. Louis and stretched our legs. It is also close to a beautiful covered bridge, so i t makes pulling off the interstate a nice experience to pair the winery and bridge together. I feel like the wines are a combination of excellent flavor and yet affordable for yourself or as a gift. This year they has a wine called "Let it Snow" with edible glitter that made a beautiful swirl.
