Butler Winery, established in 1983, is the fourth oldest operating winery in Indiana. The winery and vineyard are located just 10 minutes from the NE side of Bloomington. Our philosophy has always been to use Indiana-grown grapes in the belief that wine is a reflection of the climate, the soil, and the people who grow the grapes. Our vineyard is located within the northern boundaries of the proposed Indiana Uplands viticultural area. This region in south central Indiana produces wines of distinctive character.

The grape varieties we grow include: Chambourcin, Chardonel, Vignoles, Cabernet Franc and Vidal. We make our wine in small batches using stainless steel tanks for the fermentation and bulk aging of the majority of our wines. In addition, we use small American Oak barrels for the fermentation of our Chardonel & aging of our Ruby Port and the dry Chambourcin wines. Our friendly staff will be happy to give you a tour of our wine cellar and production area, just ask! During your visit, enjoy the vineyard experience to the fullest. Sample our wonderful award winning wines and take a relaxing stroll through our vineyard. Be sure to save time for a picnic in the vineyard or on our spacious deck. We offer a variety of crackers, both domestic & imported cheeses, and also summer sausage & salami. Feel free to bring a picnic lunch with you & if you do, get a bottle of yummy Butler wine to go with it!

Call or email email us! for more information.

Sunday Sales

We sell wine on Sundays! Some people may not realize that Indiana wineries are allowed to sell bottled wine on Sundays for carry out. So don't get caught without wine on Sundays when friends show up. Remember us the next time Sunday turns up dry. All 3 locations are open on Sundays until 6pm.
