Have you ever wondered if that old axiom is true, do wines get better with age?  Well, find out this weekend at Turtle Run Winery as we are set to host our annual "Blast from the Past".  With 25 years of winemaking, we have a section in the winery reserved for older wines, dry, sweet, red and white. This is your opportunity to sample and savor older Turtle Run Winery wines and purchase some too!  The "wine list" will constantly change over the course of Saturday and it will reset again on Sunday, so literally both days will have different offerings.  And yes, we will sell out of wines constantly.  There will be a limit on how many of an individual wine we will sell to an individual or family.  Please share and don't be selfish. We want to see how our wines are aging, that's part of it.  And sometimes we age wine just because we knew the wine was great and wanted to try it years later.  We do know, or have a very solid hypothesis that wines with minimal intervention (fining agents, added tannins, liquid oak, things like that) will age the best.

With Chocolate and Wine, everything's fine. Join us for our annual Chocolate Lover's Weekend, an Indiana Uplands Wine Trail event in which you can sample chocolates with wine! What could be better?

This Saturday, we will have another one of our little ol' "Out Front Ring Fires." We'll open up an older vintage or two, because wine not, right? It's a relaxing day for enjoyable conversations around something that creates a lot of mental peace -- fire. I love the snapping and crackling and the smell. Just the entire sensation of controlled fires.... We call these our "Fireside Chats."  A relaxing time, indeed. This Sunday, with rain in the forecast, no fire, oh well.  But here's a great idea!!!  Ever hear there are red wine glasses and white wine glasses?  Of course you have!  But if you haven't, there is an entire industry built around this concept.  What if, through physics and physiologics I can explain very scientifically how we receive perceptive differences in flavor from different shaped wine glasses, but I will also be able to explain through your personal experience, with science, that the notion that there are red wine glasses and white wine glasses, down to the individual variety of grape is all based upon innuendo.  Should be fun.  Come on by -- something fun to do on a rainy Sunday.  

We just eclipsed the 24th year in business!  So many memories.  Thank you customers and good friends!  This weekend, we'll pull from the past and have a lighter "Blast from the Past" in which we'll sample 15 or so older wines, and those wines will be available for purchase too. Come on by and share your favorite Turtle Run memory, either at the winery or with the wine!  

Hi Folks, Between forever snow and constant rains it's been hard as heck to have these weekend fires with the fire rings out in front of Turtle Run Winery.  And closing in on mid-April, we are running out of time.  But this weekend looks like a gem, so come on by for great wine, great conversations and a nice cozy, conversation building fire

You've seen Eric Kerr out here with The Rigby's and other bands.  Remember Brutally Handsome?  Eric and the Iconics drift us back into some good time "classic music." From Pop, Rock, Motown, R&B favorites and "seldom heard" gems of the '60s and '70s. From The Temptations to Al Green to ELO; From Etta James to Dusty Springfield to The Staples Singers. They'll take you back one song at a time.  You'll be able to relax and dance.  Fabulous vocals, male and female, great musicians throughout.  You'll be truly impressed with the ranges of the song and the tightness of the talent.
