When I prepared the itinerary for my annual girls’ weekend this year, I included a stop at two of Indiana’s beautiful wineries.
After driving three hours from Cincinnati and getting lost a few times on the back country roads, we were ready for a glass of wine! I had Google map directions and my friends had smart phones, but some of the streets didn’t have signs and we lost signal with the phones. Butler Winery, located just five minutes from the Vacation Rental By Owner, was a convenient and fun stop! They offer six complimentary tastings.
Notice the reflected vineyards in the window…
Lisa, our tasting attendant, was very nice and knowledgeable about the wines.
I bought a bottle of the blackberry wine. So tasty!
It’s such a homey and cute shop with unique “all things wine” gifts and a beautiful mural painted on the wall.
We were the only people there when we arrived around 1:30pm. This is a view from sitting on the outdoor patio looking at the small pond. It was very peaceful and relaxing and the day was beautiful!
What better way to unwind than sipping a glass of wine, breathing in the fresh country air, and socializing with friends!

It was cute! Actually, we had trouble finding almost everything that weekend. It’s normally not like that. Thanks for stopping by!

I should try that. The longest I’ve gone is about 10 days. There’s always a party or function to go to. Hope it goes quickly!

You are making me miss my girlfriends up north so much. They used to call me the cruise director, because I was always the one planning the girls weekends. So fun to follow you and your friends.

You and your girlfriends look that you could have been sisters … *smile … very attractive ladies. And winery visit is perfect for a girly weekend, we have some wineries in my county, but not in a big scale, but their sparkling is doing very well, something I have to put on my bucket list to visit Åkesson’s winery. They say … less alcohol and more taste.
