Winery & Facilities
With a tasting room set in a renovated 1886 farmhouse decorated with elegant woodwork, antique fixtures and furniture, a modern processing facility, and a beautiful banquet room, Whyte Horse Winery is the result of vision and a passion for fine wines.
The charming lakes resort community of Monticello, Indiana, is home to Whyte Horse Winery.
The farmhouse was part of a large land-holding on the south side of Monticello. At first I wanted to tear it down but, my wife put her gift of decorating and vision to work. She made the right decision. We have large porches that surround much of the house and the winery, furnished with rocking chairs and bistro sets for your enjoyment. We have added a music-filled garden for relaxing with friends. A vineyard at the back of the property complements a 12-foot gazebo, surrounded by a grassy area that will seat around 200 people facing the west, capturing awesome sunsets. In the spring, summer, and autumn months, this is a beautiful setting for weddings and other special events, or just for strolling through while enjoying a glass of wine.
The farmhouse tasting room has a handmade cherry bar. Our gift shop is decorated with antiques and offers wine accessories and gifts for sale. Specialized baskets can be made to order, and we also have an assortment of wine dip mixes, mulling spices, and Fair Oak cheeses. The upstairs has a small conference room for business meetings, restrooms and our offices.
The winery and processing facility is adjacent to our banquet facility which can seat up to 75 for a catered lunch, dinner, or other event. It has a 20-foot hand-made tasting bar with an antique mirrored back-bar that was built in 1890. The processing area is visible from the banquet room and is equipped with stainless steel tanks made in Italy and oak barrels made in France. Call for a taste and tour.
Don't forget about our beautiful grounds, vineyard and gazebo, which are available (weather permitting) for weddings, art fairs, music events, meetings, or any special celebrations. Call the winery or email events@whytehorsewinery.com for rental details.
