Winzerwald Winery

We stopped over here on our way to Louisville. I am willing to pull over for wine! It was a great stopping point for a leg stretch. I honestly didn’t expect much. I have wine tasted all over California and California holds top wine regions in the USA.
I was pleasantly surprised at the value and unique wines at Winzerwald. Staff was very friendly. Tasting was FREE along with pairing with some cheeses. We bought the black Riesling.
The grounds are nice too including an area for sitting outside for lunch/​picnic and having some wine.
I recommend this stop when passing through. It is a great spot for trying some new German wines, stretching your legs, and meeting friendly people!

My boyfriend and I were on our way back home to Kentucky and we decided to make a spontaneous stop at Winzerwald Winery. First, it’s less than a 10 min drive from I-​64 E. When we pulled up to the winery, we thought it was rather small; however, the myriad of award winning wines overshadowed the small but quaint tasting room. Our tasting server, Tina, was absolutely the best. She was hands down one of the friendliest and most genuine servers we’ve ever had. She was knowledgeable of all of the wines too. By the way, the tasting at the winery is also free. We sampled about 10 or 11 wines. Because of the awesome discount, great tasting wines, and wonderful service, we ended up buying 13 bottles. Our favorites were the Schweizer Spice (tastes like pumpkin pie), the Gewurtraminer, the Cherry Wine, and the Cabernet, and the Lieblich. Definitely planning to stop by again!

Headed home from Louisville we decided to go to the winery. I had tasted the wines at an event in Evansville. I don’t like a lot of wine but there are a few there that are amazing. We took home a few bottles of the Little Rhineland White and then a few of the fruit wines. We also got a bottle of the Schweizer Spice. It’s my favorite and unlike anything I’ve ever had. We can’t wait to come back. The winery is quaint and over looks the most beautiful Indiana view. Can’t wait to come back.

Winzerwald Winery is a very small winery that I visited with family and friends while vacationing on the Ohio River. Even though it is small, they have wonderful selections to choose from. I bought a couple of bottles of their blueberry and blush which were scrumptious! Everyone in my group was definately happy with their purchases.

Caveat: I have not been to the winery. I have, however, tasted their wines at Dig In, and other events, and they have something I’ve never had before: a dry, purple Riesling. I love me a good sweet Riesling (Oliver’s is like crack to me) but Winzerwald’s is a revelation. Dry, good, delicious. It’s out of the way, even with in-​laws in Corydon, but from what I’ve tasted, it will definitely be worth the trip.

Each March, I load up in the car with a group of friends, and we hit the road to Southern Indiana in search of different wineries. No matter where we go, we always end up at Winzerwald, and this year was no exception.
Located in the middle of nowhere overlooking I-​64, Winzerwald is a quaint little place that holds no more than 20 or so people at a time. The wines (to me) seem a little on the sweet side, but the Gluwein warmed on a cold day is always hit for me. During the summer, the Blueberry goes great with vanilla ice cream on the deck.
Winzerwald is a part of the Indiana Uplands Wine trail, and special events are always happening throughout the year, both on the trail and at the winery. If you’re in the neighborhood, make sure you drop by and give them a try!
