Main Tasting Room and Gardens
Wander through our scenic gardens on your way to the Main Tasting Room, one of the most beloved spots on our property. Stop and take a photo in front of our iconic garden waterfall, home to Jeremiah, the unofficial Oliver Winery mascot. Built in 1997, the Main Tasting Room is home to more than 45 wines, Service is available by the bottle, by the glass, or as part of a tasting.

Picnic Grounds
Find a quiet corner of the property to call your own for the afternoon. Bring your own picnic, pick up a bottle from our Main Tasting Room, and settle in without a schedule to keep, there's no rush and no reservation required. Wander down toward the pond to feed the fish, keep an eye out for the wildlife that calls our undeveloped acres home, or simply find a patch of shade and watch the afternoon drift by. Claim a picnic table or sink into one of our Adirondack chairs, pour a glass, and let the kids run while the grown-ups catch up. It's the kind of place that turns a quick visit into an all-afternoon memory — perfect for a family reunion, a birthday, or just an ordinary Sunday made a little more special with good wine and good company. Picnic tables are first come first serve.

It's silly, it's delicious, and it only sticks around for a little while each fall — so grab your spot before the candy (and the seats) run out.

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.

"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"

"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"
