The Indiana Wine Trail

101

The Indiana Wine Trail is part of the country’s oldest and largest designated wine region, and the portion near Madison links the area’s six wineries. Start the 110-mile tour at Lanthier Winery (Madison’s oldest) with a glass of their most popular wine—the sweet, grapey Mill Street red. Loop around to Stream Cliff Farm Winery and Tearoom to grab a table in their outdoor gardens for a lunch featuring their fresh-grown herbs, like the dill and rosemary chicken salad. Finish up at the Ridge Winery tasting room for their award-winning blackberry-apple fruit wine, BlackJack. If you find you’ve sampled a bit too much vino, there are plenty of quaint bed-and-breakfasts nearby, many of which offer lush (pun intended) discounts for wine trail followers.
