The
French Lick Winery was established in 1995 and since that time has become one
of Indiana's premier wineries. The winery is located in the former Kimball
Piano Factory in West Baden, Indiana.
Our award-winning wines are produced on site. Visitors can observe our production facility via observation windows in our tasting room. Owner and vintner, John Doty, takes great pride in the wines made with the expert assistance of Kim Doty, owner and cellarmaster. French Lick wines have received over 250 medals in state, national and international competitions.
Our Heaven's View Vineyard planted in the spring of 1998
is located approximately 20 miles west of the winery on Kim's family
Hoosier Homestead Farm in Martin County overlooking the White River valley.
The vineyard's 3 1/2 acres is comprised of the first planting of Norton
grapes in Indiana, as well as Chambourcin, Traminette, Vidal, and Vincent
varietals. These varietals are new to
many consumers but they thrive in Indiana where traditional varieties often
struggle due to harsh weather to make beautiful wines ranging from dry to
sweet come in and give them a try!
