Fun and Interactive!
Sep 2022
What a great spot!! Fun for all occasions- date day, family outing, work function, etc. My only regret is that we didn't have more time to spend there! We enjoyed sampling the Seyval Blanc and Bourbon Slushy while strolling the beautiful grounds. We fed the ducks by the pond while the kids all played football on the nearby grass. We then spent the majority of our time in the Family Farm Park. Admission is very reasonably priced at $6 a person ($5 a person for groups of 6 or more) and there is so much for the kids (of all ages) to do in there! We had dinner reservations for the Family Restaurant on the grounds, otherwise we would have loved to stay longer and explore more!

As for the restaurant, it is known for Family Style dishes. We had coleslaw, Waldorf salad, green beans, honey ham and mashed potatoes. I thought these dishes were all average to good. However, the fried biscuits with apple butter were amazing. The country fried chicken was outstanding! And I found myself eating the chicken and dumplings for breakfast the next morning- so good!

We will definitely be returning and spending the whole day here! There is so much more we didn't explore like the Ice Cream Factory and picking the current season's fresh produce.

Lots to see and do, friendly place
Dec 2021
A family run business that makes you feel very at home. Our tour guide was very good and knew about all parts of the business at Huber's, which is no small feat as they make wine, bourbon, brandy, and have all kinds of you-pick produce. They have a very respectable restaurant and a home made ice cream shop on the property. I can imagine it can be extremely busy in the summer and fall, but we visited in December and really enjoyed it. Our tour guide brought us through the wine making area, the bourbon area and was very interesting. The family is working in these areas and jumped in to talk about some of it on the tour. After the tour we had the best tasting event of the bourbon trail trip we were on. As there were four of us and each person got to taste 7 items we tried lots of wines, white liquors like gin and grappa, and lots of bourbons and brandys. Our bar tender was very friendly and knew about all of the items we were trying which was no small thing as we figured we tried 25 unique items. All in all it is a very friendly and very interesting place.

Nice Outing from Louisville
Jul 2022
Just 45 minutes from downtown Louisville, a delightful journey through the countryside of south Indiana. The winery is large with gift shop, ice cream shoppe, farmer's market, wine tasting, live music and a restaurant on the grounds. The wine is pretty good but the folks are friendly and we were glad we went.

So close.. but not quite.
Jun 2020 • Family
This is a beautiful farm. It has the potential to be incredible. I have visited twice, once last summer and today, both visits were for strawberry picking, lunch, for the play area and to shop at the farm market. Both times that I have visited a member of staff decided to take it upon themself to scold my 2 year old child which was very strange and extremely uncomfortable.

1. For standing on a chair, while being held at the waist by my wife.
2. For grabbing a loaf of bread that I asked her to pick up to purchase.

I contacted Huber’s about it was told that they appreciated the feedback but suggested that I should have brought my crying child to a manager during my visit for a resolution. Strange.

The “farm market” is 90% outsourced products with a Huber’s label. The quality of ingredients in the food and most of the produce is equal to that of what you find at your local chain grocery store not actually grown or made on the farm. A lot of the labels have low quality ingredients like high fructose corn syrup, palm oil, etc. not the “farmers market” ingredients that you expect...

This is an okay place to visit to pick fruit for fun, drink wine and feed ducks. Skip the restaurant, skip the farm market and pass on the play area where they will charge you to watch your kids play.

Lots of Options for Tastings
Oct 2021 • Friends
We got there late on a Tuesday afternoon so luckily the wine tasting area did not have many people. You can choose from a spirits tasting or a wine tasting ($15 each for 7 tastes). People were super nice but seemed tired and like didn’t really want to serve us…asked about the wine club and didn’t get a ton of info on w to sign up. They said they had a busy day, which I understand, but seems silly to lose potential recurring business over this. However, they were very nice and the spirits and wine were very good. I would recommend this bid you have time to stop!

Don't bother going in the fall
Oct 2021 • Family
Visited on a Sunday around noon. We first stopped at Joe Huber's, not realizing the winery & distillery are in a different location. Granted, it's fall & the height of pumpkin & apple season. There were so many people, & so much going on that we ending up walking in & walking right back out. Drove more than an hour out of our way to stop during a trip, and we didn't get to enjoy any of it. At the winery, there was no less than 3,000 visitors at that time. There were signs on the doors indicating 3 separate businesses having company parties there, we saw people carrying balloons for a 50th birthday party, and it looked like some sort of outdoor service was about to start as well. There were families taking wagon rides to the fields & the market was bursting with people.There was so much chaos, we couldn't find a single staff member to ask questions to. I would not recommend going in the fall if you want to enjoy the wine or distillery, we felt the entire place was very commercial & they had much too many things going on in 1 small area to be enjoyable.

Hmmm
Jun 2020 • Friends
Was a beautiful place to visit. We did the wine tasting but the employee seemed preoccupied and very inattentive. We did buy wine but after the tasting the patron then has to go downstairs and find the wines and then stand in line again to purchase. Would be nice to be able to get it after the tasting in the tasting room.

Also the distance to walk from parking seems a little far especially for those with distance walking issues. And if carrying a case of wine.

fall family fun spot
Oct 2021
It's worth the short drive to spend a bit of time here. The country setting was very beautiful and it kind of felt like Switzerland or Germany with some of the hilltop views.
We rode the little tram and picked some Fuji apples and it was enjoyable. The fruit was very fresh and delicious, much better than I've bought at stores. Make sure you wash them good. I bought a no sugar apple pie that is probably the best I can remember ever eating:) Was not wild about the parmesan garlic bread, it was very surprisingly bland but they would not refund my $9:( so that was the only bummer, tried the one piece and threw it out. Live music was nice and lot of people buying wine. There was a hot dog stand available and ice cream shop.

Beautiful day in the country
Jul 2020
My husband and I visited on a Saturday and we had a great visit. We checked in at the desk when we arrived and our tour started right on time. We were in a group with two other couples so our group was small which was nice due to the whole COVID19 and social distancing. We were taken to the wine cellar below the main store where we were given a small wine glass and then visited three different rooms and each room had a variety of wines to choose from. We were offered a total of 6 samples throughout the tour.

The farm market had some of the best corn I've seen and was so green. If we had a cooler with us and not such a long drive I would have gotten some things to take back home with us. The bakery part smelled so good but we didn't wander that direction.

The grounds are beautiful and there were people in the fields doing the "pick your own" sunflowers. The farm market and ice cream store were both very busy as was the wine store/restaurant lines. The main store was a tad confusing to navigate when crowded especially if you didn't know where you were supposed to go. We got to the counter to pay for our wine and asked about buying drinks but that was a separate line and the cashier suggested we go into the cafe to order our drinks as it wasn't as busy so we did. The peach daiquiri was really good and my husband liked the bourbon slush. We also ordered a pitcher of blackberry Sangria to enjoy on the patio while we listened to the singer that was there. The patio was very crowded, there was plenty of shade though and the breeze was nice so it wasn't too hot. I noticed several people had brought lawn chairs or blankets to sit under the trees. We would like to go back and do the distillery tour another day as it's just a great place to hang out for the day and relax. They definitely have it all put together well and everything runs smoothly which is super nice.

Holy Smokes! What a Find!
Oct 2022
This review is for the winery.

These people know and love wine. I've been in wineries where they will give you a wine tasting but they don't really care about what they're serving. This is the exact opposite of that - these people love each and every one of their wines like it was their own child.

It's quite a bit off the beaten path but so worth the trip - what a find!
