Winzerwald Winery
Winzerwald Winery opened in June, 2002 on a picturesque hill in the Hoosier National Forest. Winzerwald is German for “winemakers of the forest”. Nutcrackers, originally from southern Germany like the winery owner’s ancestors, were chosen as the winery’s logo and label design.
Two new vineyards are located along I-64 at the winery and the 30-year old vineyard is nestled along the Ohio River on the family’s fifth generation farm. Gold Medals and Best of Show honors have been granted to Winzerwald Winery for its uniquely smooth wines that most are sure to call their favorites. Winzerwald is known for its outstanding German-inspired wines including Riesling, Pinot Meunier, Blaufränkish, Gewürztraminer, Grϋner Veltliner, Mai Wein, and Glühwein. A very popular fruit wine collection includes award winning Blueberry, Cherry, Cranberry, Peach & Strawberry among others. Winzerwald is also well known for its herbed and spiced wines based on traditional German seasonal wines. Winzerwald has been honored as best winery by both local & regional newspapers and magazines three years running. Plan a visit to enjoy wine flights, a weekend concert, monthly food & wine pairing events, flatbreads & huge Bavarian pretzels or a relaxing afternoon Weingarten visit overlooking the vineyard valley. Prost!
