Indiana Grown Creates New Trail For Local Wine Enthusiasts

Last updated on Tuesday, July 24, 2018

(UNDATED) - Amidst rolling hills and scenic towns are some of the nation’s best-kept secrets: Indiana’s wineries. Indiana Grown teamed up with wineries from across the state to bring local enthusiasts the Indiana Grown Wine Trail.

With 30 participating locations, finding the perfect wine is an easy, entertaining and relaxing process.

"This trail provides the opportunity to experience all that Indiana's winemakers have to offer in a fun and exciting way," said Lt. Governor Suzanne Crouch, Indiana's Secretary of Agriculture and Rural Development. "We have some of the best wineries in the country, and I encourage Hoosiers to go find their new favorite wine."

Despite more than two dozen wineries participating, the trail won't get old -- each location puts its own twist on a variety of wine styles.

Free trail maps are available on the Indiana Grown website or at the participating vineyards. Each time a guest visits a location, a stamp will be added to their map. There isn't a time limit for completion, but completed maps can be mailed to Indiana Grown for a free wooden wine stopper.

"If you enjoy local wine, this trail is for you," said Bruce Kettler, Indiana State Department of Agriculture director. "This is an excellent way to support local businesses and meet Indiana winemakers, while enjoying some great Indiana-grown wines."

The trail is made possible by the following wineries:
