Huber Winery; Fond Memories

As I sit in front of my computer for my second on-call Labor Day Weekend dreading the call I pray will never come, pleasant memories keep me looking forward to my next trip to Huber Winery.

If not for the signs along I-64 and side roads you probably wouldn't expect such an outstanding attraction as Huber Winery in a place as small as Starlight, IN.  The Huber Winery, which started 7 generations ago as a simple 80 acre vineyard and orchard, is a nearly 600 acre agricultural and entertainment delight.  The winery features a farmers market, cheese and ice cream shop, a family fun park, restaurant, and of course wine.

The family fun park, complete with mazes, slides, and go-carts, is sure to be an adventure for your young ones but if you plan on leaving the curtain climbers at home you may want to consider a DD.  Huber produces over 30 different wines and brandies in their winery, and with tastings ranging in cost from free to a few bucks, finding one you like shouldn't be a problem.  Once you've decided on your favorite wine, head down to the wine shop and get a few bottles to go or take a bottle and some glasses to the patio for spirits and entertainment.  The Huber's patio is featuring live music every Saturday and Sunday from 1pm to 5pm through October.  I can attest that the live music coaxes the wine down very well so be careful.  Be especially careful of the Sangria, it tastes great and packs a punch.

Enjoy your trips and safe travel.
