Came on a Saturday 4/11 at like 2:30 and it wasn't open. No one on site. There's a house right next to this barn which I think they live in?? And a bunch of stuff in the yard. Call before you come. I'm not sure if this place is in business anymore, their website is a little outd read more

Great, laid back atmosphere, the young lady serving us was filled with information about all the wine selections. We left with a couple of bottles of Red Tiger Red & the other couple traveling with us bought the Eclipse group & filled a case up! read more

Was there on 10/29/25 at about 2 PM, seems like the site had been abandoned or at least not cared for in some time. One car was parked in front . When we entered the winery, entire room was littered with partially open boxes on the floor and counters , a pair of ladies sneakers were in the middle of the floor. No one else was around. It was a long ride to get there to be very disappointed. Check before you go to make sure they are still in business. read more

While not fancy and a bit off the beaten path this place is worth the effort (only 6 miles from Spring Mill State Park). Tasted and bought several different wines, not busy while we were there - we enjoyed chatting with the owner about the wines and the history of the place. You should stop by, you won't be disappointed. read more

To start with, this is the only wine that is drank in our house. Carousel is well known and loved for their sweet wines and their fruity dessert wines have no comparison in the local market. The signature Tiger Red is a sweeter mellow wine that would go equally well with steaks as it would with chocolate. I'm anxiously awaiting the chance to marinate chicken in their Lady Luck blush. And if you're lucky enough to get your hands on a bottle of raspberry be prepared for an explosion of liquid sweet tarts on your tongue. As for ambiance, don't expect a quick trip. Visiting with Miss Sue is like visiting with your granny or your favorite auntie. Take the time to enjoy the conversation as you sample any of the wines she currently has available You're bound to leave with both a new favorite wine and a new bit of happiness in your heart. read more

Just love this winery. Boutique style, wines are wonderful, looking forward to viewing the eclipse from this location in April.

Don't let the way out of the way location or the exterior of the winery detour you. The owner is a wealth of information and she is passionate about her wines. The wines she offered were good to very good. We ended up buying 6 and are looking forward to drinking all of them. read more

Had a nice visit here while camping at Spring Mill Stare Park. The ladies decided to go for an "off the beaten path" drive to the winery and happy we did. Sue was very informative on their wine process and we loved every tasting we did. After purchasing several cases between us we sat on the deck enjoying the beautiful fall colors/sounds. My pocketbook is pleased she's not in northern Indiana but my tastebuds say otherwise. Saving a bottle to share when our camping group gets together during the holidays. Will definitely be ordering more when my supply is diminished. read more

On a whim we decided to stop in here and I'm so glad we did. We were unsure if they were open at first but soon the lady came out before we even finished reading the sign to honk if no one was at the winery. You walk into a room decorated with carousel horses. They were out of a lot of things but what they did have was very good. My favorite was the Lady Luck & the apple Wine. They only had sweet wines available today. The cherry may be my wife's new favorite. No chemically tasting wines here. I think we bought a bottle of everything we tried. I hope this sweet lady continues to find new options for her sales since the Indiana state fair grounds no longer allow carry out wine sales. read more

I've been here several times throughout the years, and each time it's a gamble on whether or not I'm going to have a good time or leave feeling disappointed. I believe that I have finally figured out what makes it fun.. when it's empty. When there are other groups of people there - even just a few - the folks running the show seem to get flustered and overwhelmed. The previous reviewer hit the nail on the head with that one. Carousel was one of the charter members of the Indiana Uplands Wine Trail, but after a series of unfortunate events, I've noticed they aren't listed on the website anymore. Hopefully they'll be back on the trail soon though. The wines tend to be a bit on the sweet side, although from time to time you get a dry one thrown in. The ports are pretty good too, as long as you like extremely sweet ones. Shadow Dog port is especially good in the chocolate shot glasses. The times I've stopped by with a group, I've felt like we were bothering them, especially if we don't walk out with cases of wine, which here, we never do. The bad thing about being on a wine trail: if you want the prize at the end, you have to hit all of them. My summary: if there are a lot of cars stopped, skip it. If it's close to closing time, skip it (I've been lectured about their hours before). If it's the middle of the day and you're driving by and the parking lot's empty.. stop. read more

What a sweet little winery! We arrived 15 minutes before closing and the owners were so nice. They didn't rush us and we loved enjoying a glass on the patio overlooking the pond. They owners understood that Indiana grapes are not the best for reds so they use California grapes for their drys. We did get a bottle of watermelon wine. Not my thing but really, how could you not? No food but I assume you can bring a cheese tray. Love Carousel and hope to get back soon. read more

I Love their wines!!! THIS is a husband and wife who work very hard,and it shows! Their port wine is one of the best, and their sweets are oh so sweet;) If you love love dry or sweet wines, come here and you won't be disappointed! !! They are a little out of the way, but are at most wine shows and you will want to stock up! read more

Be warned: Carousel is hard to find. Like, our GPS did not like where we were at all and the location was not well marked. It's, for lack of a better term, kind of a trailer alongside the road, with a picnic table or two. When we finally got there, the owners seemed overwhelmed with a group that was there. Once things calmed down, however, we got great service. After asking what we liked, we were directed to a Primitivo -- a heavy red that ended up being oh so delicious. This wine trail is kind of out of the way -- we weren't able to complete it because, geographically, it was so far flung, even to tackle over the course of a year. But Carousel was a stand out in terms of quality, for sure. read more

We visited Spring Mill Park from Clarksville and saw your sign off of Hwy 60 there. Loved the beautiful wooded area and the Sangiovese wine is great. I cannot wait to try with Greek food that I love. The drive there was a bit unsettling going through a recently flooded area so I may try an alternate route next time. I think we will come back in the fall and enjoy the autumn colors on the patio there. Thanks to Sue for the great conversation. We will be back. Wendy and Dale read more

Cute little place tucked back in the middle of no where. We had a great time tasting several wines and liked so many we ended up buying an entire case as did the friends who were with us. What makes this places really special are the owners! She took her time telling all about the different wines. She even treated our group to a wine jello shot before we left. Her husband shared some fascinating WWII stories. He's a great story teller! Loved this place! Will definitely come back. read more

On Saturday July 28 we visited the Carousel Winery. We had a wonderful and informative time. Every wine we tried was better than the first. I have so many favorites now. Both owners were so pleasant. We had three generations of family with us. Two of which could drink. The outdoor area was awesome for enjoying a bottle of wine. They also allowed us to pick some sweet corn, which by the way is amazing! Thanks again for your wonderful hospitality! Hope to return sometime soon! read more

I have read the reviews and thought since I have been there several times, I would chime in. The tasting room is not a trailer, it is a real building, just not as winery-friendly as far as landscaping, places to sit and enjoy a glass of wine. This is an elderly couple that own and operate the winery, and I have seen them get flustered when it gets busy. Have enjoyed it more when they have some else doing the wine tastings and believe they should have been more behind the scenes, letting someone else work the store. My husband and I were there once, and the owner led us into the area where he makes the wine and let me climb a ladder and look into the vat. Very interesting. He is 85 years old and am very surprised he still works so hard. No sure what happened with the wine trail. I just noticed this weekend that they were no longer on the trail. Such a shame. My husband would venture out and it wasn't that hard to finish the wine trail in a year. read more
