Stopped by here after visiting veals Ice tree and so glad I did!! They have 6 tasting for $10. The lady at the counter was very nice and the pours were generous. I came on a full stomach but the wines had me feeling good. The pinot noir, yee yee (bourbon barreled), and raising were my fav. Yes all diff but I prefer my wine dry and red. If I go for a white it's usually a resting that's a little sweet. But the yee yee was different and since I like bourbon this was nice. They have a few tables to sit at. Pretty small in here. In the sumer they have concerns outside. Nice stop if you're in the area here or the ice tree! read more

Love the small, family-feel at Buck Creek that all the staff maintain with their greeting. There's plenty of outdoor seating and space to bring blankets. Whether you're coming for summertime live music or a wine tasting, this is a great spot for a chill day. read more

Buck Creek Winery - Road Rouse Red is a top fave! - Wineries Near Me - Indianapolis, Indiana

Buck Creek is near and dear to me. I grew up across the field in the neighboring county, so I have been able to proudly support this family owned and operated business for many years. I've been seeing some comments about rude service, and I have to say I can't speak to that. My family and I have always been treated with the utmost respect and hospitality when we visit. I would still highly encourage a visit. They offer a large variety of wines. During the summer, pretty much every Saturday, they host a concert and then in the Fall usually have a wine run on the local county roads. Nice parking lot and areas to sit inside or out to enjoy a glass or bottle. They also serve wine slushies which are perfect for a hot summer day. At times they can be a little too sweet for me so I do limit how often I splurge on them. But still nice to have as an option. Cheers! read more

I had such an amazing time at Buck Creek with my sister-in-law. They had a variety of cheese, crackers, and meats available to create your own charcuterie board. They also had bottles that were cold and ready to drink on site. The owner was so fun and easy to speak to. They made sure we had everything we need to enjoy our wine and snacks. Outside of their delicious wine that they offer. They also have wine wine slushy. It was $10 to do a Tasting, but we went ahead and purchased a bottle that we had tried from their visit to the Indianapolis home show. They have seating both indoors and outdoors. The outdoor seating outlook towards the vines. We decided to sit indoors. There's also a parking lot for easy access to the building. You can also order items online for carry out. We will be back! read more

We made a quick stop after seeing the billboard along 74 while driving through Indiana. It was a small family owned winery with quite a few bottles and varieties made in house. They do small batch barrels. If you want a tasting flight (very affordable at $10 for six) you have to stand at the bar. Very odd. We felt very hurried and didn't really get to savor the experience. The owner was there but frankly a little rude and acted like we were stupid and he was the "expert"...as we do actually know a lot about wine this was insulting and I got the feeling if my husband had been with us it would have been different... We left without buying anything and a bad taste in our mouths from the rude service and hurried experience. I wouldn't recommend. read more

Great tasting experience at Buck Creek Winery. I'm a Hoosier now living in Sonoma, California, and I work part time in the wine industry and I am a former wine writer for various Northern California and nation wine publications. Suffice to say, growing up in Indiana I despised the sweet wines we are known for making and I was a bit nervous about what I'd expect - especially given that the label looks like something you'd find at a hunting cabin wall versus a hip winery and they make a lot of fruit wine. But, we aren't in California anymore Dorothy. I came into this tasting with an open mind and a goal to only taste wines using Indiana grown grapes (no fruit wine or wine using imported grapes from CA, OR, WA, etc). Our tasting associate was down to earth, informative and friendly. He answered all my geeky questions. I was very pleased with his knowledge about the wines and winemakng process, as past experiences with Indiana wine tastings have often been less than informative. I felt very overwhelmed looking at the two page wine list - 37 wines! I selected six (it's $10 for 6 tastings) and I chose estate and Indiana grown wines and one cider: -William Loyd Reserve (red blend) -Seyval Blanc (white semi-dry) -Forget Me Not (Traminette) -Grady's Hard Cider (heirloom apples from a few blocks away) -Pink Ribbon Rose -Autumn Blush (Catawba) I was tasted the William Lloyd first, which was very confusing, as I would generally taste a guest on a dry white wine first, but, whatever. It was the only wine I chose on the official "dry" list, so that's what my first wine was. Overall, I enjoyed the William Loyd, Forget Me Not and the Hard Cider. Those are the three I left with. The Seyval Blanc was really interesting (acidic with a strange bite to it like a Granny Smith apple) and I look forward to trying more of those at other wineries. The Pink Ribbon Rose was bearable and the Autumn Blush smelled like it was corked upon opening and pouring, but, I was told that was "just how it always smelled." I could not get past the scent of that wine when I tasted it. The rose-orange tinted wine is their most popular, which I cannot comprehend. The wines I took home are dry. The red reminded me of a slightly tannic, but comforting and warm full-bodied Merlot or Syrah-based red blend I'd find back home. A good easy drinking, week night red. The Traminette is Indiana's state grape and this was my first taste of it since I left the state. I really enjoyed it. Its parent grape is Gewürz and it's got delicate floral and fruity notes, but nothing over the top. Really nice wine. The cider was semi-dry and just plain tasty. I noticed glasses of wine were being served in plastic cups, so I opted out of that. They were also selling wine slushies to go in big stryofoam containers, which was hilarious and very Hoosier. Overall, I was pleased to find some wines I enjoyed and look forward to returning to the future to try Buck Creek's other wines. Cheers. read more

Finally made it out to Buck creek! Before the pandemic, concerts at this cool winery were on our radar and we wanted to check out the outdoor festivities. It never happened and Concerts were put on hold. As we were sampling wine here on Sunday, our server informed us of all the exciting concerts coming this summer. It seems the focus of this winery is giving fans lots of reasons to come back. They have wine slushies to help cool you down and great deals on wine. On this day we sampled 4 white wines and 2 reds. I believe it was $8 for 6 tastings, with each "taste" big enough to share. They also offer quantity discounts for those wanting to buy more than one bottle. We'll be back to this fun location this summer! read more

Unfriendly staff. I gave them a pass the last time I visited their winery. I was returning a bottle with a leaky cork. If wine is leaking out, that means oxygen is leaking in, compromising the quality of the wine. The guy (owner, I believe) gave me a hard time about it, saying it's no big deal and that it happens with 10% of their bottles. I buy A LOT of wine, and I can count on one hand the number of leaky corks I've encountered. If this happens to 10% of your bottles, you have a serious problem. Fast forward to today at the Art of Wine event in Carmel. After waiting in line for 20 minutes, we were given the smallest pours of any of the 12 wineries here, then told after a few pours that we needed to make a decision on what we want to buy or leave the table. All of the other tables poured as many tastes as you wanted with no cutoff, but we were told, "You already had 5-6 pours, and there's a long line." First of all, we had only had 3-4 pours, and secondly, we were waiting in that long line expecting to sample whatever we wanted when we got to the front -- like we did at every other table. If you're participating in a wine sampling event that people have paid for, you should let people sample your wines without basically saying, "Buy something or leave." I did buy several bottles of wine at this event from places with friendlier staff and better wines (Mallow Run & Winzerwald for the win!). But I will never give another dime to the stingy, rude people at Buck Creek. read more

Came here for a tasting after lunch on a Saturday, only had to wait 2mins to get on their tasting area Great wines, just hope they talked during the wine tasting about the different wines we were trying instead of just reading it on the menu Cost of 6 tastings is $10 they have dry and sweet wines for all the palates and even got ice wines to try for $4 each sample It's just a little small winery but they have outdoor seating when the weather is warmer read more

We stopped at Buck Creek returning from some shopping in Bloomington. The staff was friendly and welcoming. My friend and I were able to get a small booth to do some wine tasting-the counter isn't open for this yet. We were provided paper menus that described the wines well and a paper to write in our selections. I liked the efficiency and it's easy to see what you're drinking but for those new to wine tastings, an explanation or caution to write in selections from dry to sweet, as the menu listed them, is a must. It would be easy to start writing and realize you want a drier wine for that 6th pick. They got busy during our tastings with a couple of large groups coming in. The staff did a good job keeping up and were race walking through the place in an effort to ensure everyone was taken care of. Tastings are 6 for $8; you will have no problem finding 6 with the wide selection offered. You will also have no problem choosing that glass to enjoy or bottle(s) to take home. We didn't LOVE all of our picks but liked most of them. We were also offered a free taste of the warmed spiced apple wine which was nice for a chilly afternoon. read more

Got the opportunity to go taste the wines here on the last day of my trip. They were very kind and welcoming. There are cheese and crackers and local chocolate to purchase for your pairing and wine. It isn't big but when weather is permitting there is patio seating. They also opened up an area in the back where they places more tables and chairs to accommodate more patrons. My favorite was the big buck red. It was a nice experience and they have a lot of awards on their wines. And they are more than happy to share information to any questions that you have. read more

Winery Stop #2: 6 Tastings for $10! The wait staff were friendly and they made great recommendations. This is family owned and operated and they have one various awards for their Stellar tastings. The venue is cute and quaint with about 5 high top tables, I saw some ladies reading books.. and a mom with her husband and baby enjoying themselves. I wish there was a bit of music playing .. other than that, Id absolutely return. I ended up purchasing a bottle of the Rhubarb wine read more

cool spot to catch some music, drink some wine and hang out with friends. We got a little lucky and managed to pick a day where the weather could have gone either way. It sprinkled just a little, so there wasn't a huge crowd. The wine is well priced and drinkable.. I'm not a wine snob, but know what I like and don't like. They have wine slushies, which are super sweet but give you an opportunity to mix it up a bit. They have some food on site in a concession truck... didn't get any of it, but it's nice to have it available. The music was fairly good.. leaned a little more (on whenever we were there) towards older music, but overall a nice way to spend an evening. read more

First time here, we came here on a whim while driving back from Ohio. Great service the host had a fun presence. I tried the syrah, the Cabernet, the seyval Blanc, amore, dew drop, and the rocio. My favorite was the Seyval. I'm not a huge sweet wine drinker anymore, but I did like the rocio. That is the only sparkling on the list but it is sweet. They are releasing their concert schedule on Facebook. It was $5 for 6 tastings is not a bad deal. read more

I had a great time here! The wine was great! But the wine slushees were even better! Soo good! And the staff absolutely lovely and very friendly people. It had a beautiful sitting area outside I'd say the only downside would be the view of the highway. I'd like if the outdoor area gave off more of a beautiful, seclusion feeling but as it is family owned I 100% support this place and the wine is great. read more

Traveling from Cincy to Indy; we caught site of this place along the highway. Great advertising, easy to find. Buck Creek is our 84th winery that we've visited and it was a great stop. Very nice variety of wines. We were lucky enough to be here when the owner/wine maker was working the front. Very personable. Even offered us a tour of where the magic happens. I always enjoy a winery with a 'gift shop' area- lots to look at here at Buck Creek. Purchased a jar of a Robert Rothschild product. So good and thanks to Buck Creek, I'm not a Rothschild future customer. I reviewed Buck Creek with 4 stars; had the sausage and cheese been a little more reasonable or a ready cheese tray been available we would have stayed longer & spent more money. We'll be in the area again and we'll stop by again. read more

Honestly a sad moment for me. It has so much potential but I felt like it was dirty inside, even the glass was dirty. He didn't give me clean glasses between tastings, and only rinsed out my glass sometimes. His focus was on a business man who kept interrupting me and because of this I was ignored. It feels very pretentious at times due to this. I would come back with friends, but this is literally half a mile from me and I don't think I'll return alone. Big opportunity missed with not having charcuterie for sale! With this being said the slushees saved the day, and the strawberry wine tastes like straight up strawberry juice. over all, not good or bad. Just room to grow! read more

I stop by here when I can. They have a decent selection of wines. They get their grapes from all over the U.S. I am not a fan of dry wines but I am starting to branch out a little bit and try some semi-dry wines. I tried some on this trip as they have a tasting of six wines for $5. You also get a discount the more bottles that you buy. Nice little place and they have some room out back where they do music in the spring and summer. I would recommend you stopping by and checking it out. read more

Great little winery, and they have the best wines. Very good wine, love there wine slushies.

We enjoy the outdoor music. Ample room to pull your chairs out. You can bring your own cooler with food or they have a food truck on hand. The food truck tends to run out of food so plan to eat early. Also the first hour or so there is not a lot of shade so plan accordingly. The service os friendly inside the winery and clean. I enjoy dry wines usually a Cabernet but with it being summer I get the strawberry rhubarb Sadly this past outdoor music event was dampered by several Smokers who sat near the front but various locations. A couple cigar smokers. We noticed several people leave because you couldn't get away from it. We move twice. New people we invited ended up leaving sick. Talked to owner afterwards and he shared smoking is allowed because it's open air and he does not intend to change his policy. Although open air with the tree line and maybe lack of movement of air it did not make for a pleasurable environment. read more

So i come to Buck Creek winery all the time even have told people about the winery. We are at wine festival and owner is working the event. There were several ladies in front of us who were black, they had been there for a while. They walked away and we walked up the owner told us he couldn't serve us anymore because we had been there for awhile. We all had to correct him and let him know that we weren't those ladies. Due to his comment we decided not to buy the bottles we were going purchased there. Not to me the other guy had been there for awhile and he said else to him. I will no longer be visiting Buck Creek winery due to his actions. read more

Have visited Buck Creek several times and have had the chance to try "the list" from dry's to sweet's. I can honestly say I genuinely like most of them. My range from like to don't care for is more a matter of my personal preference and not due to the winery's style or process of making the product. The staff/owners are very friendly, helpful, and hospitable. At times, they host events such as live music on the premises. read more

This is just off I74 going east just outside of Indy I think it is exit 99, I have seen signs but never stopped so today I was with my 2 cousins and we decided to stop. Walking in everyone seemed friendly and greeted us with a hello. Found out my cousin had been here and knew exactly what she wanted but the other two of us decided on a wine tasting. My cousin and I decided to split one because neither of us are big drinkers. It was like $16 for the tasting and we each had 3 tastings which was not bad. The ladies told us about the #1 seller and what was in the different wines, found it to be very interesting. Another thing I found interesting which I had never seen each time the poured wine out of the bottom they used this pump thing to pump the air out of the bottle. We tasted our wine,purchased a few items and was on our way, nice place to grab a glass of wine, sit back and relax...I go that way all the time so will stop back for a visit. read more

I stumbled upon Buck Creek about 12 years ago on my way back from Cincinnati and decided to make a stop. I go back often. I don't live in IN anymore but thankfully they ship out of state and my family always has bottles on hand when I visit. I've never tried a wine I didn't like here. I'm not a fan of dry reds, but they have some very good ones. I'm more of a white wine drinker and the Der Champion Riesling is a favorite. I also really enjoy their ice wine. If you like sweet wines the fruit wines and wine slushees are great. The Sunset Blush is delicious and not too sweet. The hard part is picking what you'd like to taste with such a large variety. Take a buddy so you can share. read more

Went here yesterday with a group of ladies and had a great time ! The wine samples are $5 for six samples and the bottled wine is relatively inexpensive. There were only a handful of bottles above $20 (before tax). I tried three whites and three reds and was only disappointed with about two. The rest were really good and their Syrah was quite smooth and relaxed. The staff was really nice and helpful and joked and laughed with us as we stood at the bar sipping and talking and dancing to the music we were playing. If I"m not mistaken, they let us hook up one of our phones and play our own Pandora station. We were also given a short tour of the back part of the building where they make the wine. The young man that gave us the tour was very knowledgeable and didn't seem to be throwing out the 'same old spill' for a different group. In other words, he didn't seem bored and over his job. That is always a plus. They have a lot of cute little wine trinkets from magnets to glasses and cork holders. I believe walk ins are welcome and I will more than likely return. read more

We went to Buck Creek Winery after a slushy day of sledding. I had never been before and I will probably be back again to check out some of the summer events they have going on. When we first entered the tasting room, we were greeted and everyone was nice. The area itself is pretty small, so I imagine it can get a little packed during busy times. We did the tasting, six samples for $5. The service was friendly, but a little on the slower side. I did end up purchasing a bottle of Dry Riesling. It was very good! read more

Love this winery! The strawberry and rubarb is my favorite. Service was wonderful very friendly great atmosphere.

This would be a great date place if I lived in Indy. Fun out of the way place, yet only 20 minutes from downtown. Great deals on a good selection of wine made on the spot. They can handle meetings of up to 150 people. Consider them for a a very different business meeting in the late afternoon. Bus your people out, do some team building and have a unique but great time for a song compared to a hotel downtown. read more

Great local family run winery. My only criticism would be their hours, I wish they were open later. Their wines have won many awards and are reasonably priced. Tastings are inexpensive and they have a small indoor area if you just want to go in for a glass of wine. They also have a patio and pavilion with outdoor seating. Being family run, they have to do everything from making the wine to bottling and retail. They have great wine slushies that you really should try. I highly recommend going in for a drink and picking up a few bottles for home. read more

A very charming little winery. Family owned and it shows. Every was very knowledge and very helpful. They were bottling some reds and invited to learn about the process! The wines are yummy!
