About
Spencer Farm Winery pours its wine in a farmhouse from about 1883, on the same land as the Spencer family's fruit farm. You can sit inside, on the covered porch or out on the grass, and look over the vineyard.
The list runs from reds and dry whites to sweet fruit wines, including a strawberry wine made with Spencer Farm berries. There are sparkling wines and a non-alcoholic wine too. Beer comes from Bier Brewery. Charcuterie boards use Smoking Goose meats and Amish country cheese, and you can bring your own food.
History
Kyle Spencer opened a pick-your-own strawberry patch here in 1982 and added other crops over the years, with a market and gift shop following in 2008. His son Mark joined in 2014 and proposed a winery. Table grapes went in during 2015 and wine grapes in 2016, with advice from Purdue. The farmhouse was renovated over the winter of 2018-19, and the tasting room opened in the summer of 2019.
County records name John Crosley as the earliest known owner of this land. An 1880 valuation put his 80 acres at $2,100.
When to go
Open Wednesday and Thursday 3 pm to 9 pm, Friday 3 pm to 10 pm, Saturday noon to 10 pm and Sunday 1 pm to 6 pm. Closed Monday and Tuesday.
Live music is free on Saturdays from 7 to 9 pm, and moves indoors for the winter. November 2026 also has cookie decorating classes on the 14th and 21st and a sushi rolling class on the 18th, which are booked through their own hosts.
Good to know
The winery says families and pets are welcome.
Outside food and non-alcoholic drinks are fine. Outside alcohol of any kind is not, and coolers may be searched. Wine stays in the patio and lawn areas, so don't carry it into the vineyard.
For you-pick fruit and the farm market, use spencerberryfarm.com or (317) 776-1560. Small private events can book the tasting room, and a larger venue called The Vineyard handles weddings.
