Agritourism

During the week, you may use the newest technologies, gadgets and apps that help the work day move quicker. When the weekend comes, it is refreshing to slow down and enjoy the simple things in life again.

Take a breather from the work week and enjoy the natural products and experiences that only Southern Indiana can offer. So, turn off your cell phone and ignore Facebook for a while. A garden, an orchard and a glass of wine is waiting just for you.

Wine Trail

The rolling hills of Southern Indiana host several wineries, each featuring quality wines, local winemakers and unique experiences for a visitor to enjoy. The Indiana Uplands Wine Trail winds through the area on a route featuring wineries with award-winning wines and complimentary tastings. Some wineries offer picnic areas and foods, cellar tours, concerts and more.

Orchards and Vines

Indiana’s largest wine grape producer is Huber’s Orchard, Winery and Vineyards. In addition to an extensive collection of award-winning wines, Huber’s offers an agritourism experience for the whole family.  Kids can feed the farm animals and enjoy the mountain slide, mini tractor rides, pedal karts and rope maze at the Family Farm Park. Grownups will also enjoy a visit to the Loft for tasting wine or a sample from Indiana’s first distillery, The Starlight Distillery. The farm produces fruits, vegetables, Christmas trees and pumpkins that can be purchased at the farm market. After picking your own apples, stop by the Starlight Café for a homemade lunch and visit the ice cream factory and cheese shoppe, all found on Huber’s beautiful grounds.

Garden Splendor

Tucked within rural Southwestern Indiana is a hidden garden paradise. The Azalea Path Arboretum & Botanical Gardens is considered a hidden gem, offering visitors over 50 colorful acres of 2,000 blooming azaleas. You’ll find a beautifully landscaped setting with two spring-fed lakes, unique chainsaw sculptures, a waterfall, a koi pond and winding pathways to enjoy it all. The best time to visit to view azalea peak bloom time is end of April through mid-May.
