Ertel Cellars Winery

Great little out of the way spot in Indiana. Food was well prepared and pork chop was grilled to perfection. The cheese tray was MASSIVE and it paired well with the Cabernet Sauvignon. Service was a bit slow but always very friendly.

Okay I didn't have food this trip, but I was greeted and made to feel at home. Was told about their offerings and had a few wine samples, the. Purchase several bottles of wine to take home. They mentioned that jungle Jim's sells their wine, but glad I bought here as the selection at JJ's was very limited. I can't wait to come back to eat a meal and just enjoy the drive here. It was worth the trip from Cincinnati over. The place was super clean and very inviting. I highly recommend them.

What a great find in this small town.Ertel Cellars is not only beautiful but also great quality food and wine. We got a table right by the windows where you can see into their production. Very cool! I enjoyed the Cabernet Sauvignon. My glass was full all the way to the top.We started with a cheese plate. Which was overwhelming in size, but underwhelming in quality unfortunately. It was your normal grocery store cheese cubes and crackers. But we certainly got our moneys worth in cheese.My husband got the grouper which he very much enjoyed. I wanted something light, because I was full of cheese (ha-ha). I got the burger with a side of potato soup. I was happy with my meal.We would like to come back in warmer weather and enjoy some drinks outside!

I have been seeing signs on I-74 for years for Ertel Cellars Winery and finally, with my BFF, I took a detour to find the winery! It isn't too far off of 74 and it is so beautiful!!! The staff was very welcoming. A woman came out to offer us wine samples and she gave us a history of the winery, a small tour as well as talked about the samples she was giving us. I didn't realize this was also a restaurant, with beautiful seating outdoors as well as inside. We had already eaten elsewhere but the food smelled and looked heavenly so we will be back for lunch!!! We bought 4 bottles of wine thanks to the samples!!!! I can't wait to come again soon!

7 ladies enjoyed a picturesque drive through the countryside to Ertel's restaurant.Our hostess, Terri, was delightful and had our table ready for us. Our server, Michael, was awesome. Took our orders and delivered them to the kitchen from memory, which is quite a feat.I started with the soup d'jour, which was a creamy seafood chowder with a hint of garlic. The macadamia nut encrusted sea bass was excellent, served over creamed spinach with baked potato and green beans. More praise for the salmon with rice pilaf, and the barbecued ribs. Dining area is one large room, so with a rehearsal dinner party across from us it was rather noisy. But we were still able to chat and I'm sure there's probably not a party going on every night.Friendly service and a pleasant atmosphere.

Last minute call for a table on Father's Day was no problem. Excellent food; excellent service! Thank you!

The folks who live in this area are so lucky to have such a great restaurant and winery to support by spending locally. If this restaurant was in the Napa Valley or in Oregon wine country, the prices would be over the top expensive My husband and I enjoyed the burger, fresh green salad, chardonnay wine. Our waitress was pleasant and friendly. The deck has a great view of the vineyards. My compliments to the chef. He does an outstanding job.Such a peaceful and quiet corner of the world.

Food and environment are good. No more Sunday brunch available now. Enjoy their own wine here. I guess portion is smaller due to inflation like anyone else. The service is great.

We had a wonderful lunch. My husband had the fresh grouper, grilled and I had a special Shrimp dish, Shrimp Capperrelli. These both came with choice of potato, and fresh green beans. I had a glass of pinot grigio. Delicious, the entire meal was so good. Quite a meal then to top it off with Creme Brulee. Highly recommend, well worth the drive.

The food was very good and tasty. The waiter was very polite and informative on the menu and wine list. The setting is a beautiful country view and the restaurant was decorated nicely. Will definitely be going back to experience the enjoyable time again.
