Amazing staff!!! Super friendly and informative!!! 3 tasting for $5, we had 9 tasting and still only tried a 1/3 of what they have to offer. The pours are generous and you can share, hard part is deciding which cider or wine to try ! Loved the dry red wines, not dry like a typical wine but very favorable. Wasn't a fan of the mojito cider but the bon bon caramel would taste great with a shot of whiskey I bet. They have homemade apple pies, and cinnamon rolls that looked delicious! read more

We stopped here on our way north with some family and the staff was incredibly helpful and kind (offering the kids treats to feed the cats and opening the barn for us), and we had some fresh pie that was amazing. We also recommend the apple slushees, which are like frozen cider but nothing but pressed apples with no added sugar and were incredible. The animals in the barn (cats, pigs, goats, donkey, chickens, rabbits) were super cute, especially the kittens! The kids also loved the playground and the whole property was well maintained. Would definitely recommend as a road trip stop for anyone heading north! read more

McClure's Orchard - Kittens! - Wineries Near Me - Peru, Indiana

Our most recent visit today was pretty disappointing. TLDR; hours online are NOT accurate and service is poor. We have stopped at McClure's for the past four or so years every time we take a trip to Michigan heading up 31. Today, we planned the same and verified the opening times on Google, Apple, and Yelp. However, it is not correct on any of these websites apparently and they were closed. We arrived, and walked in, as the building was unlocked and appeared to be opened, and were instantly asked if we could be helped. We mentioned we were just hoping to get some apple sauce, and the worker replied that they were closed. We expressed our confusion at the sign and at all of the 3 websites indicating that they were open, to which the worker rolled her eyes and said "Google does what Google does and you have to always check the website directly," while walking us to the door in a condescending and rude manner. We understand now that the hours were not accurate and we should have called; however, how aggressive and defensive this worker was at a simple mistake was quite off putting. We have never had awesome customer service here, and quite frankly the wine and cider is the worst we have ever tasted so we typically avoid, but we do enjoy the applesauce and their souvenir shop, but this experience really disappointed us. You're much better off to visit Harvest Moon Foods just down the road - their applesauce and baked goods and ciders are way better anyway and their customer service is great! read more

As a fourth stage cancer patient I don't get out much. So when the "manager" mocked my visible handicap, I was shocked and embarrassed. The service was lousy (at best) probably because said manager was also belittling her employee wich made it hard for her to do her Job. Overpriced, underwhelming, and the manager needs a good kick in the..... Jason McClure if you are reading this I hope it lights a fire because neither myself, anyone I know, or anyone I come across (if I have anything to say about it) will ever visit your establishment.​ read more

Super cute pit stop on US31 outside of Peru, Indiana. McClure's is not only an orchard with u-pick offerings but also a mini petting farm, hard cidery and winery. In the front store as you enter the property, you'll find full meal offerings, knock knacks and tastings of both the wine and cider. The first two cider samples are complimentary. We tried a few of the ciders and the honey infused lavender (in gin barrels) and Happy Holidays cider (clove, Orange, cinnamon- great served warm like wassail) stood out the most. Both were ideal as crowd pleasers- not overly sweet or dry. They had at least a dozen hard ciders to choose from and full bottles were for sale starting out at $6. They also offered growler fills. In both the front tasting shop and the apple barn, you'll find baked goods available like apple dumplings, apple pie and bourbon apple pies. They also have other treats like apple butter, apple salsa, apple butter syrup, honey and maple syrup. We purchased an apple dumpling and caramel sauce for $5. The farm is very kid-friendly with a petting barn (donkeys, potbelly hogs, Heritage geese, goats, etc) and a play ground between the two key shopping buildings. Highly recommend popping in! read more

Food truck, cider, wine tasting, orchard upick or pumpkin patch... you name it, they have it . This place has really expanded! I love just picking my own apples and did I mention the more than 150 varieties? Check out their corn maze new this year. read more

Lots of delicious juicy semi sweet ciders. Multiple wine and pies. Cute shop for this or that, but the bar area is where they have purchased samples. Some nice tart cherry cider, sweeter peach cider and frozen slushies are just like drinking a perfect apple You can even pick your own apples from the orchard during season on weekends. This is a perfect stop on Route 31. read more

We stopped here after seeing the sign on US 31. It is a very cute place. There is a store, bar, barn animal viewing, and the orchards. The restrooms here were nice and clean. We stopped in to get a couple bottles of hard cider and leave quickly. It took a long time to get a person to tell us about the cider options and then to check out. read more

Over all the property is beautiful, I went with my husband and daughter and son in law. We had a nice time on a beautiful day and got great pictures. That being said, we ordered a bbq pork sandwich, a tortilla with a tablespoon of chicken salad lost inside, a snack sized walking taco, and 4 5$ hard cider drinks. No sides. The total with tip was 53.67. Unreal. Everything was so over priced it really soured an otherwise nice experience. read more

Went there yesterday got daughter and I apple dumplings $7 each (didn't know after I paid) and brought them home. We decided to eat them. They were old the apples inside were grey and mushy. I called and complained and lady didn't say sorry or didn't even apologize. So they are not getting my business anymore! Yuck read more

We had a decent time until an employee was rude to us in the apple barn. Overall the place is nice, the food was decent, but the one rude staff member was a turn off. Not sure if we'll be back. read more

We enjoyed our stop at McClure's Tate Orchard. . It's a nice place to visit in the fall. They offer a nice big selection of Apples and other treats. We were disappointed at the lack of support for mask wearing. Looked on their ears but not on their face and there was no signage asking for customers to wear masks either. read more

If you're COVID aware, I'd avoid going inside as the staff were not wearing masks. The animals are great and the play equipment is very cool. read more

Their Apple pie is awesome. Whether it's bourbon or plain. It's scrumptious. I made a mistake and held the pie in the bag without securing it stayed flat and tons of goodness slide out the pie and into the bag so gentle warning handle with care. And the staff are kind and gracious. They made my thanksgiving meal complete with their homemade apple pie. read more

Go here during apple season (Sept-Oct) and prepare for some delicious goodies. Hard apple cider, apple pie, 30+ varieties of apples, and a cute pink tractor. Restaurant? More like old-persons home food or cafeteria, stick with the apple dessert. Great for kids, lots of friendly animals and horse rides! Plus a playground? Yep. read more

Not my favorite but we came on a busy weekend. It was their fall kick off. Wine samples were limited to 2 free samples. The price after that was 2 for $5. Ouch... after you bought your drink you could walk around the orchard. Staff was attentive but could have explained the wines better. Not that big of selection of wines to choose from. read more

This place is Paradise! An incredibly beautiful family-owned property with something for everyone! Food, fun, cider, cute things, and a super relaxing and charming atmosphere. I am eating their apples as I write this and wish my wife and I had spent more time there and left with more cider. I cannot wait to return. read more

Went on a warm sunny fall day and it was busy. The staff in the tasting room were very friendly. The petting zoo seemed fine for the children. They had places to take pictures and picnic tables to eat at. The only thing needing an update were the bathrooms. Over all I'd recommend it. read more

No doubt they have delicious apples here in a beautiful setting, but they also have wonderful people who helped us for an hour with a stubbornly dead car battery!! Cannot thank them enough. This will now be a must stop every time we pass by on 31 (with a new car battery of course!). read more

We used to stop here years ago. The food was wonderful and service superb. TIMES change our menu was on writing paper with two choices for adults and one for kids. Which by the way save your money buy Kraft Mac and cheese at least you would get better serving size. And no clums of powdered cheese. I got a chicken salad that tasted terrible. But threw all that the service was goofing around with what I guess was a cook. I was going to stock up on wine. I love their blueberry wine. Oh well this is off my list! read more

McClure's is much more than just an orchard - they are also a winery and restaurant. The typical orchard stuff is all up by the Apple Barn, where you can buy pecks of apples, cider, preserves, apple butter/sauce/etc., as well as cute knick-knacks. When I was there, I picked up 1/2 a peck of tart apples and forced myself to buy an apple pie...really had to twist my arm on that one. Closer to the road from the Apple Barn is the restaurant (adorably named The Apple Dumplin), and the wine tasting area. This place does a fine assortment of hard ciders - both draft and bottled. They run the full gambit, from sweet to dry, and have some interesting flavors as well (the jalapeno cider is muy excellente). They also have a spiced holiday cider that I'm looking forward to enjoying once the weather gets cooler. I didn't have any food from the restaurant, but I can tell you the piece of pie I ate for breakfast today was delicious. read more

I stumbled upon this place by chance during a solo road trip up to South Bend. There isn't much on US-31 between Indy and South Bend and...well, to be honest...after a lot of pre-trip hydration I was reaching emergency restroom break level. I saw a billboard for McClure's and quickly pulled into their parking lot. I entered a building with a cafe sign posted outside, and walked in to find a quaint country store. I sheepishly asked the first employee I saw if they had a restroom. I'm sure she knew I was some random person just in off the street, but she graciously pointed the way. So I didn't want to be "that person". Ya know, the person who just uses a business's restroom and leaves without buying anything. So even though I was in a hurry, I resolved to buy something - anything! - even just a few dollars as I was on my way out the door. I walked back into the store and saw so many cute little gifts! Everything from jewelry to home decor to lots of jams, jellies, and baked goods made right on the property. After debating for a few minutes on what to get, I bought a jar of honey from McClure's hives. By the time I left, I was disappointed that I didn't have time to explore the place more! This would be a fun Saturday or Sunday adventure to take sometime. I hope to go back to McClure's! read more

This review is about the food at the Apple Dumplin' Inn (a part of McClure's Orchard). While the pulled pork sandwich was tasty it was a bit expensive considering the chips on the plate clearly were just poured out of a discount grocery bag. The BBQ sauce infused with Apple Butter was delicious although it was a bit disappointing not to be able to buy a jar in the attached gift shop. All of that said the side of applesauce was legitimately tasty (which one would expect form the orchard). Moving on to dessert you have your choice of apple pie (microwaved), apple dumpling (microwaved), or apple crisp (microwaved). Microwaving day+ old desserts is something I would do at home, not necessarily something I expect for a $7 dessert menu. You get three stars because anything with apples in it is well made and tasty, but it's a bit expensive for what essentially amounts to average food when taken as a full meal. read more

Great food good selection of wines and ciders. Neat place. The blueberry wine is excellent. Very good place to stop on your way to Indianapolis read more

This place is simply amazing! Jerry is truly the most nicest person , we had a flat tire and not only did he give u a place to park the camper while we went to get a new tire but he also gave my granddaughter and I fresh warm chocolate chip cookies right out of the oven! The apple cider is worth the trip!! We will be back for sure ,love the orchard. read more

This was a little surprise in a long stretch of highway. We stopped in hoping to get a few fresh picked apples but unfortunately they are not in season yet. They had 2 cute shops that we actually purchased a couple hard ciders, fresh salsa and homemade blueberry applesauce. I'm excited to try it all. We decided to stay for lunch and we were so happy we did! There homemade cinnamon applesauce that came with each meal was seriously amazing. I had a cheeseburger and chips. Doesn't sound like much excitement but it was amazing. Also, flights of hard ciders (which I have never seen). Only a couple hours from home and going to try and visit again once they have fresh apples. read more

As a winery I was very disappointed. 2 free tastings & 2 more for $5.00 is pretty ridiculous if you ask me. I guess it was a good thing though because I did not enjoy their wine at all. As an orchard & pumpkin patch it looked great. The little shop was cute but very over priced as well. read more

Usually this place is very enjoyable. Today, not so much. We waited about ten minutes in the restaurant before anyone even acknowledged us (it was not full at all). We ate, food was okay. Restrooms were not stocked. Lots of the normal items were not running. read more

We stopped in for an apple dumpling and ended up tasting a bunch and buying 6 bottles of cider/wine. Jason spent some time with us explaining they many many ciders and wines they've made with apples. Ranging from dry to sweet, there is something for everyone. Inspiring people making delicious things with their apples. We will definitely be back! read more

It was our first time to the orchard. We went into the apple barn to ask about picking apples. I grabbed a bag and asked the lady working if I used this bag to pick apples. She stated the guy out there has bags and she went on with her business. So without knowing what to do we assumed we could use that bag and pick apples. When we went to pay the owner was extremely rude saying we should've asked first (which we did). She stated that we think we were taking advantage of the orchard and that we thought we were entitled to the apples. All far from the truth. We we to have a good day with our kids. Due to her, we will not be going back. read more

We were traveling and had always wanted to stop here because it looked so fun. We finally did on a nice fall sunny day and we had our dog with us. We thought we would let our dog stretch when out from the barn came running some other dogs at our dog. The owner of this establishment came out and told us to leave, no pets allowed. So needless to say, was not a good experience so I recommend anyone traveling with a pet not to stop and those who do, I would think twice. These people are not nice! read more

Great stop on 31 for real food (that is also very good) and great cider. Helpful and knowledgeable staff. Clean bathrooms and a kid friendly dining room with separate kids tables for coloring while waiting for food. read more

Can't say nice enough stuff about this place. I almost missed it on the internet state. It was cold and raining and I just wanted a hot meal. The food was delicious and they had a cup of hot apple cider for me. The apple cider is made on the property. They also had wines made on the property. I left with two bottles and was not disappointed at all. The little shop was nice as well. I will be going back thru and plan on stopping again as there was much that I didn't get to see. They have tours thru the orchards and wine making facility. Free wine tasting. read more

Food was good service was good but I can't rate any restaurant in Peru Indiana of all places, higher than a 1star that charges $.50 for a glass of water when you order a full meal! Maybe in New York City, LA, or some large metropolitan area, but Peru Indiana! read more
