Spencer Farm, a you-pick family farm in Hamilton County offering seasonal produce as well as locally produced pre-made food, has expanded its footprint with the opening of a winery and tasting room.
The small batch winery will occupy a historic place on Spencer Farm’s 40 acres in a newly renovated farmhouse originally built in 1883.
“We are thrilled to build on our successful history of sharing quality products and experiences in Central Indiana with the launch of our winery and tasting room,” said Mark Spencer, founder of Spencer Farm Winery and son of Spencer Farm’s founders Kyle and Lori Spencer.
The winery opened to the public on Tuesday.
Spencer Farm selected 10 varieties of wine-grapes to ensure a high quality, cold-hardy, and disease-resistant vineyard that will thrive in Indiana’s climate. Test batches of wine began production last year while renovation of the farmhouse was underway, ensuring the tasting room would launch this fall.
“It was my love of wine and viticulture that sparked my desire to launch a winery and tasting room on our family farm,” said Mark Spencer. “We look forward to sharing our wines, as well as a beautiful new tasting room with our loyal customers and friends in Indiana.”
