Cannelton, Indiana: Blue Heron Winery

Gary and Lynn met us at their gorgeous Southern Indiana winery. Lynn knew we had a bit of a drive behind us and had a fantastic hummus dip ready and waiting. Oh, wow was that incredible! It was just what I needed after sitting behind the wheel for more hours than I care to remember!

A very nice couple, Gary and Lynn shared their story. They both have a background in education. Before retiring, Gary was the Education Administrator at Branchville Correctional Center. Lynn is an artist. After teaching art for more than thirty years, she has turned her focus toward the winery.

Although Lynn is the artist (and you can find her fantastic works up for sale in the shop), Gary also has an artsy side as shown by his hand-carved wooden walking sticks. In fact, this is the property where Gary grew up!

Sometimes I think we forget just how diverse the terrain can be when you are driving around and exploring Indiana. It’s a rugged climb but that Perry County view…it’s unforgettable!

What else is unforgettable? Enjoying it with a great glass of Indiana wine! Blue Heron Wine! Specializing in American and French-American grapes: Chambourcin, Fredonia, and Marechal Foch. With just under a dozen wines for sale, there’s something to fit every taste at Blue Heron Winery.

Dry wine lovers will enjoy the two different versions of Twin Towers Red as well as Prime 23. Medium-dry tasters will find 23 Degrees and Hoosier Red. Both are really great…but my favorite leaned toward the Sweet category of wine this time! They like to say that they have sweet wines, but they are not too sweet. If I liked them, I am positive that you will too.

There’s two varieties of On Deck Red, as well as one type of On Deck White. You’ll find Constitution and Four Stars (so named for the four family members that were or are currently serving in the military). I admit, Four Stars is my new favorite! It’s a blueberry wine made from local grapes and natural juices. It’s also incredible to sip and savor. But I’ve got a general fondness for blueberry wine. Let’s just recap a moment, shall we?

They have even made a video to highlight their winery.
