IWVA hosts multiple events each year to keep our membership up to date on new legislative and regulatory requirements and to create opportunities for networking with other winemakers and growers in Indiana.  

We generally host a Winter Meeting in February/March to provide updates during the legislative session of the Indiana General Assembly, and a Summer Meeting in July to address other industry issues and foster strong connections between existing and new wineries and growers. 

Information and registration links for specific events are added below as they are scheduled.

    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.
