French Lick Winery & The Vintage Cafe will be open Friday, July 4th  11:00 a.m. to 9:00 p.m.

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!

Customers can sample our wines in our wine tasting room. Enjoy a glass of wine on our patio or take a cold bottle with you for a picnic or party. Wines may be purchased by the glass, bottle or case. Wine purchases of six or more bottles receive a quantity discount. Our sales staff will be happy to assist you with your purchases. Call toll free 1-888-494-6380.

Local artist, Harold Brown’s photographs are available for sale in our tasting room too. Enjoy sampling our gourmet coffees of the day. More than a dozen varieties of Panache gourmet coffees are available and can be custom ground to your specifications. Tea lovers will enjoy our selection of Republic of Tea. Teas are available in loose leaf or tea bag.
