Winzerwald Winery

Exceptional selection of sweet wines and nice new restaurant. The giant Bavarian pretzel is a must try.

The charcuterie tray has a couple of meats, 4 cheeses, spicy mustard, pickles, olives, pecans, cranberries & crackers. Nice & compliments the wine choices well. The service was excellent & they explained everything about the wine flight arrangements well. It's nice & quiet & has nice views outside.I would have never thought of serving wine "warm" but the Spiced Apple & Gluhwein (red & cinnamony) were great warmed up. We left here with these & a couple of fruity wines as well.

Our first visit to the winery was a bit of a disappointment. We had the tasting flight and found none of the wines were to our liking and not worthy of purchasing a bottle.The ambiance was nice and the staff was friendly, but we will not be back.

A friend and I planned a Sunday Funday centered around visiting this winery. This is one of our faves from Vintage Indiana. Since one of my resolutions is to stop creating "must visit" lists that are years old...well, here we are.The setting is lovely. The whole area is beautiful. I would like to see their vines with leaves in early summer. The winery is taking Covid precautions with clear barriers between tables and the counter. The tastings are 8 for $7 with a slight upcharge if you include a fortified wine. Those were 3 for $3. We chose our wines and chose a window table and contemplated food.The tasting is done in plastic cups and are numbered matching your selection. While I appreciate this precaution, I prefer tastings where the wines are described and poured into a glass-although a plastic cup is ok as a Covid precaution. I just like that interaction and after having it at a previous winery it seemed a bit cold. Especially for a winery with the interesting wines offered by Winzerwald!We ordered the pretzel and shared charcuterie board. The charcuterie is basic but included an interesting summer sausuage with cranberries and was ample. The pretzel is a must have here. It has that perfect brown exterior that's not crunchy but hard and soft interior. The jalapeño cheese is not spicy but good. We had the mustard on the charcuterie plate and really liked it. Our visit was a really good one and we enjoyed talking with the guy working. Not having a more interactive tasting with him is the only disappointment here. I plan to return; there's a lot of great hiking in the area-and hope they can return to that level of interaction.

STOP!!!!! Listen you need to get off 64 and stop at the Winzerwald Winery this place has great wines and ports. The food selection is simple with flatbreads and the most amazing pretzel you could get. Stop do a sampler get a pretzel or flatbread enjoy then grab bottles of wine to go.

Absolutely fell in love with this little winery and the hospitality. We passed here on our way to Evansville and were kicking ourselves for not stopping. On way home we made sure to allow time to stop and boy am I glad we did. Would love to go back when it's warm and they do outdoor gatherings with music. The vibe was contagious. We did an 8 taster and had the pretzel with the mustard and jalapeño cheese. Loved everything about this experience!

AWESOMENESS‼‼‼Go Go Go I have nothing negative to say about the Winery. Excellent in every way. Thank You, once Again Amanda!! We Love Tim TOO so Sorry it Rained Saturday

We visited this winery after a wonderful visit to St. Benedict's Brew Works, on our way back to Louisville. Stop number two on this #YelpLouINvasion.This winery has been recommended to me several times from several different people, so I had fairly high expectations. And these expectations were well met!First, a bit of advice. Map this before you get lost. Because...if you get lost, there is a big chance that you won't be in an area with reliable service to get un-lost.That said...the winery is fairly close to the highway. In fact you can see the highway from the winery. But where we assumed there would be a sign where we needed to turn...there was none.Winzerwald is a small winery, one of those not-much-bigger-than-a-house wineries, that has a small parking lot, a charming outdoor space, and a decent sized indoor tasting room. The tasting bar isn't huge. Our group of 4 took up about half of the available space. Just make friends and get cozy, you'll be fine!The tasting is free. You can choose the wines you taste. I prefer sweeter wines, and Winzerwald has plenty of those to go around! In fact, they might have the best blueberry wine I've ever had! Not too sweet and not too tart. Much like Goldilocks prefers, I thought it was just right! Our group ended up sharing a bottle of the blueberry wine before we hit the road back to Louisville.The ladies working the tastings were very genial and fun to talk to. The wine was tasty. And it was on our way (aside from the getting lost part...)If you like wine, I would absolutely put them on your list as worth a visit!

Great tasting wines and service is awesome - thank you pretzels are really good too!!Cranberry wine is a must try!!

Great vineyard winery. Went back recently after 10 years. They've expanded the tasting room. Wines are very good. Highly recommend.
