Carpenter Creek Cellars

Visited this winery on our way back from Chicago. The owner and winemaker were there to greet us. We are normally dry red wine drinkers, but their wines, while keeping to true Midwestern culture, are very much drinkable. I was pleasantly surprised with their Traminette. It was deliciously sweet but with a light finish as well, contrary to 99% of others I’ve tasted. Their whites are quite delicious. The winemaker has really mastered how to make sweet wines for discerning tastes.
We are heavy travelers and have visited many wine regions from Oregon to Hungary. This is the best winery we have visited in Indiana. We’ll be back in the summer for wine and music!

This cellar/​winery is FANTASTIC! We went on a Saturday around 1:30p there were two other couples there and the gentlemen that was there serving the wine tasting was great. He was so knowledgable and detailed with the description of the wine and made our experience just wonderful.
Let me remind you that they offer a COMPLIMENTARY (free) wine tasting which will make you want to purchase bottles of wine to take home. I prefer more dry red wines so I enjoyed those and my husband is more a sweet/​rose type. They all different verities and I ended up purchasing 3 bottles and enjoyed 2 full glasses of wine each ($ 5 value each glass) and met a great couple of IN. The people that are there are very friendly and you most likely make conversation with them.
A definite must see when you are on 65!!! It’s a small red barn in the middle of nowhere and let me say that the bathroom was very clean and smelled nice and the entire tasting room was clean and cozy. Being from Chicago and this winery being 1hr and half drive away my husband and I will be back! GREAT LITTLE PLACE and be to honest I couldn’t wait to write this review when we got in the car haha Cheers!

Cute little winery out in the country but only a few miles off of the highway. The owner is an experienced winemaker and it definitely shows in the quality of his wines. A nice selection of dry, semi-​sweet and sweet wines. Great atmosphere and a fun place to check out.

Literally just left the winery and couldn’t wait to Unilocal about it! Not only did we love EVERY wine they have, but the best part was the owner! We learned so much about wines and could tell that he truly loves what he does. That’s rare now a days. If we lived closer we’d be there every weekend! But, I will be telling everyone that this is a must see winery. Don’t pass this winery up!

We stumbled on the quaint winery on a drive home from Turkey Run State Park in Indiana. It’s conveniently located right off of I-​65. The day we stopped was a Saturday and there was a guitarist/​singer playing outside in their nice yard. The small crowd of about 15 people were all nice, fun people enjoying the day! We bought a bottle of great wine and sat down to relax and enjoy the music. We met some nice people too! The owner made everyone feel right at home. Nice place, I will be back!
