Connecting People Through Wine — Visit Oliver Winery, Bloomington's Original Winery

We believe wine is at its best when it brings people together. Whether it's your first visit (welcome!) or you're back again (great to see you!), you're in for a treat. As Indiana's oldest and largest winery, just outside Bloomington, we've spent decades creating a place where friends gather, families reconnect, and new memories are made over a glass of wine. Travel + Leisure has named Oliver Winery one of the top wineries to visit in the U.S.

A smiling guest raises a glass of rosé at an outdoor table at Oliver Winery.

Oliver Winery has the best local wine in Indiana. I truly believe they have a wine for everybody. My personal favorites are the Cosmoberry and the Strawberry Hibiscus Spritz. We love visiting in the spring and summer and enjoying a flight or a glass in their beautiful and maintained outdoor area. Walking by the pond is fun and relaxing. 

A smiling shopper holds up a bottle of Oliver Blood Orange Spritz in the tasting room.

"Absolutely beautiful and would highly recommend. Very friendly staff and the grounds are beautiful even if you don't drink wine. But the wine is amazing" 

A guest smiles as he tilts a glass of red wine at the Oliver Winery tasting bar.

"Oliver Winery is the best! I planned my proposal there and they were amazing with coordinating and making our day amazing. 100% recommend no bad notes"
