Blue Heron Vineyards

Great sweet wines and one of the best views of any winery we have been to in the Midwest.

We sampled several wines & both sangrias & we brought several home! The owner served us & was very friendly & kind. The views are fantastic overlooking the water & the whole place is very relaxing & laid back.

Amongst the wine options in the Hoosier state, these Indiana options have always been a nice flavorful experience. The outdoor decks are so relaxing and the knowledge that the owners have is helpful in picking out your wines. Warning, the road is tightly packed gravel and they only take cash or checks still.Our favorite for sipping ambiance in Indiana. Open on Sundays and offer free samples to find your favorite vino.

The winery sits high on a hill with a spectacular view of the Ohio River. Lots of outdoor seating with a beautiful view. Very enjoyable to grab a bottle and sit and relax. Cash only! They will have music on occasion. Great place for small gatherings.

What a beautiful little winery and only about an hour from evansville. The drive is beautiful. We tasted several wines and they were all very tasty. We really enjoyed talking with the owners and hearing about the wines and the history of how they started the business. The winery has Such a great setting high on a hill with beautiful views of the Ohio river. We had a hard time picking our bottle of wine but decided on the Catawba and it did not disappoint. We brought a picnic basket and enjoyed our treats with our wine on their patio deck. We can't wait to go back especially when the weather warms up a bit.

I really wish that Blue Heron Vineyards was closer, because I could see myself sitting on the deck, drinking a bottle of wine and watching the barges float down the Ohio River. Make it a rainy day and I think I would be in heaven.On a recent trip with 11 of my closest friends, we made the journey to Blue Heron. I had never heard of it, and the only real reason we stopped was because I saw it on the map when plotting our trip of southern Indiana wineries, and I knew we would be close to it. Out of 10 wineries, this ended up being our favorite by far.First, the directions on their website say the road to the winery "becomes rustic". I believe what they meant to say was "our road is gravel. it's steep, and if you have a small car, you'd better pray you make it up". Thankfully my SUV climbed to the top like a champ, but it's steep and rough. We parked in front of a shed-like building and were immediately met by the winemakers. They introduced themselves and asked our names while shaking our hands, and were invited into their wonderful winery. I really can't say I've meet anyone nicer than this lovely couple, both retired educators along any wine trail.After gasping at the beautiful view of the Ohio River through the woods, we were led inside the tiny two room winery.Both rooms had items for sale that seemed out of place for a winery: save, 60's cookbooks, walking sticks, etc., but that's just how this place is. In the middle of one of the rooms is a dining room table that we did our tasting at. Seriously! A dining room table in a winery.. it was awesome! Oh yeah, no wine glasses here either. Just small juice glasses with the most wonderful celtic etchings on the side. Wines; french varietals, slightly dryer than what you normally find in Indiana, which made the place even better. A few of my friends aren't dry wine drinkers, and I will admit their review of the place is probably different than mine, but I'm a dry wine drinker and they aren't writing this review, so I say it's great!I can't wait to get back to Blue Heron, if nothing else, just to see the view and chat with the owners again.. but I bet there will be wine purchased too!Oh, very important: they DO NOT take credit cards!

I stopped in at the Blue Heron Winery while on a road trip. The location is beautiful with a great view of the Ohio River. We were quickly greeted by Lynn, co-owner with her husband Gary. She gave us a tour and showed us the different beautiful pieces of artwork around the winery and told us about the music they have during the summer.After the tour we went inside for a tasting Lynn asked what style I like and she picked the perfect wines for me to try. Each wine has a different taste and story behind it. I bought two bottle including the 4 Blue Stars which honors their four relatives in the military. A great winery and great people. Just a note they only take cash but it is really worth it.

Our visit to Blue Heron Vineyards was a strange, but lovely experience. It's quite a hike from Indy, but the weather was beautiful and we were in the mood for a mini-trip, so fast forward about three-ish hours from our departure time last Friday afternoon and we found ourselves driving up a very steep, narrow road through some pretty dense woods towards Blue Heron Vineyards. Once we arrived, we made our way to the small tasting room, passing all sorts of outdoor odds and ends. It was about this time that I started to feel like I was entering the Land of the Limberlost...The tasting area is a tiny little room with walls covered in pictures, maps, and various knickknacks. It was kooky and strange, but also homey and nice. The owners are an older couple who immediately treated us like neighbors...and I guess some of the other guests actually were. There was Mrs. So-and-so from the next county over and Mr. Someone-else who grows grapes out yonder way standing around, listening to the gentleman owner tell an old story while his wife poured us our various samples. It's definitely a literal mom and pop operation.After taking in a few samples, we bought a bottle (with our cash, of course, as we'd left our checkbooks in 1995) and made our way outside. Their grounds are super expansive and there were several isolated little nooks and crannies to choose from where we could look out on the river and sit among the trees, enjoying our wine.It was pretty other-worldly, but definitely enjoyable. I can see us making our way back one of these days and spending more time exploring the grounds, enjoying the wine, and taking in another story or two.

This little gem...I almost don't want to write a review because I want to keep it all to myself. The views are gorgeous, the wine is delicious, the owners are some of the most awesome people we've ever met.

Blue Heron Vineyards is a beautiful venue for any event. Whether for a special occasion, to listen to one of the outstanding musical groups or just enjoy the scenery with a bottle of their outstanding wine. The owners always make their guests feel special. Highly recommended.
