Fifty years of Indiana wine.

One unforgettable summer event.

Join us July 27–28 at the Brown County Inn in Nashville, Indiana to celebrate half a century of Indiana's Farm Wineries — our people, our roots, and our future.

Since IWVA’s inception in 1975, Indiana Farm Wineries have come together each summer to connect with each other and share ideas. We’re continuing that tradition in our 50th year. Whether you are an industry veteran or a brand new winery, we invite you to join us.
