8 Wine Bars in Indiana That You Shouldn't Miss
With beaches, boating, and salmon fishing in Michigan City and Gary bordering Lake Michigan, there is more to Indiana than might appear at first glance. The agricultural heartland even has cross country skiing and snowmobiling to go with the Cornball Express. Southwest Indiana near Evansville is renowned for the well-preserved Native American Angel Mounds State Historic Site. The largest city and state capital is famous worldwide for its Indianapolis 500 race. Even locals living in the suburbs often overlook the Indianapolis Museum of Art, Eiteljorg Museum, NCAA Hall of Champions, the old Union Station museum cluster, and downtown Canal Walk, to name but a few landmarks. South Bend is synonymous with the Fighting Irish of Notre Dame.
Forested Nashville’s art colony fame dates to the early 1900s when Impressionist Theodore Clement Steele overwintered in The House of the Singing Winds. It is now the T.C. Steele State Historic Site. View paintings and sculpture at the I.M. Pei-designed Indiana University Museum of Art. Attend an IU sports event or an opera, ballet, concert, or theater performance. Treat the family to The Little Nashville Opry or The Bill Monroe Bluegrass Park. For healing mineral springs, head south to Orange County, Indiana’s spa resort center.
Enjoy golf, fishing, boating, cross country skiing, snowmobiling, and ice skating in the nation’s agricultural heartland. Monticello and Rensselaer are west of Logansport and north of Lafayette. Take the family on the Cornball Express and Hoosier Hurricane at the Indiana Beach Amusement Resort in Monticello. Play boardwalk carnival games, or let the kids loose on the go-carts. Pile the family into their vehicles for an old-fashioned movie experience at Monticello’s Lake Shore Drive-In. Indulge in a weekend dinner boat cruise to hot band sounds as the Madam Carroll plies Lake Freeman.

1. Drunk Tank Winery

We stayed at the Old Jail Inn above the Drunk Tank winery. Trina who does the tastings was actually the one that checked us into the hotel. This is one funny woman! When we walked in, there were a group of people laughing at the bar, and you could tell we were not in on the jokes being thrown around at the bar. But she quickly caught us up by sarcastically picking on people at the bar. We had such a great time with people we had never even met before. The wines are from all over the country and some were even from Italy and Spain I believe. They had may of the Oliver wines from Indiana as well. They had a great selection of super sweet to super dry, depending on your taste. I was shocked at the amount of good Napa Valley wines they carried. Trina kept everyone laughing as she kept the tastings moving along or kept your glasses full if you wanted a whole glass. She was hysterical. We spent two evenings in the Drunk Tank enjoying the laughs with other patrons and making new friends. Reading the walls was fun as well. Everyone that comes signs the walls, which carries over into the Inn above as well. It's a cool underground bar type atmosphere and a really fun way to spend the evening! Thank you Trina

The property is beautiful. Even as a local I don't mind waiting in line during the busy summer months to grab a wine slushie (or two) and sitting on the patio enjoying the fresh air.
