With Indiana wine making such a great impression every which where, have you checked out French Lick Winery in French Lick, Indiana yet?

This Indiana winery is making a splash in wine circles!

French Lick Winery: Indiana Wine

This piano factory turned Family-friendly dining is set in a spacious, sharply decorated building. Nice but not uncomfortably nice, there’s plenty of room for large groups.

Big glass windows overlook the Indiana wine production. Since we were at the French Lick Winery on a Saturday, that portion of the restaurant was inactive–but still neat to see. All that gleaming stainless steel!

The menu at the French Lick Winery, what they call The Vintage Cafe, was something else! How ever would I decide?

The Vintage Cafe has a wonderfully simple menu.

At our server’s suggestion, we started with Pan Bigio. A nice, crusty Italian bread with a delicious chewy inside. As a bread fanatic, even I was impressed.

Served with an Herbed Olive Oil, it looked as pretty as it tasted good! Even the kids enjoyed it.

But deciding on the main course was a different matter and definitely not so easy. For me, anyway.

It wouldn’t be me if I didn’t agonize over food choices. Pizza or ravioli? Pizza or ravioli?

Well, it isn’t just pizza and ravioli. To be more specific, it was either Chicken Spinach Alfredo Pizza or Spinach Artichoke Ravioli.

In the end, I chose pizza–which was really good! A wild yeast from Naples makes this crust out of this world. But–oh my word was hubby’s ravioli incredible!

Creamy and smooth, each bite was so flavorful. I almost stole it from him and you know how much I love a good Indiana pizza.

Go There

Of course, I have plenty more to share about the French Lick Winery in lovely Orange County. We haven’t even covered the best part: Dessert and a free wine tasting.

By all means go and see for yourself the deliciousness that is Indiana wine. Just don’t forget to tell ‘em that little Indiana sent you!

  1. Thanks for sharing all the gems of Little Indiana. The winery has such good food…especially that Pan Bigio, that stuff is addicting. In fact, Misty from Visit French Lick West Baden and I were being interviewed on the radio and the host asked about good places to eat in town. We both raved about the winery and then simultaneously said “the Pan Bigio bread is so good.”

    I enjoy following your travels and always learn something new.

    Keep truckin on :)
