Dan and Donna Adams established Winzerwald
Winery in 2002 on a picturesque hill in the Hoosier
National Forest overlooking Interstate 64. The name,
Winzerwald, is German for “vintners of the forest” and
honors the family’s German heritage. Dan’s great
great grandfather Jacob Loesch was a winemaker
and cooper (wine barrel craftsman). A limited edition
wine called Heirloom is made from grapes that
family lore says were brought to the US by him
when he emigrated from Germany. Experts have
been unable to identify the grape variety.
Also find a host of German award winning
favorites including Pinot Noir, Riesling,
Gewurztraminer, May Wine, Gluhwein
and a large selection of fruit wines.
Enjoy free wine tastings, shop for gifts,
relax in the wine garden amidst a
beautiful hilly forested setting or visit for
dinner concerts or wine and food events.
