This winery is located along the Ohio River in Vevay, Indiana. It has a deck in the back that overlooks the Ohio River as you enjoy a glass of wine or a plate of cheese and crackers.

This is a winery located in place with a beautiful herb garden where you can by flowers and has a sanctuary garden that is very pretty. You can go to eat at their restaurant that has great food cooked with their herbs and spices. They also have wonderful wines from their winery. I liked Horsefeathers (a crisp dry white), Thunderhoof (a dry Shiraz), Fancy Filly (a semi-sweet traminette), Kentucky Stud (a semi-sweet black currant wine), Old Bo (a chambourchin), and Spotted Horse (a semi-dry Riesling) They also have some very sweet fruit wines as well. All of the wines are named after horses because this is on a farm with a historic background.

This is a very good place to go to taste wine and get a plate of cheese and salami with a glass of wine. I liked some of their wines, in particular the Riesling, the Cabernet Syrah, and the Savignon Blanc. They also have several kinds of Gale's Hard Cider. I really like the original as well as the Cheiftan's Blend (this has an earthy kick to it). This place also has unique cheeses that you can buy
