Now serving beer! The brewery opened today, and my wife and I came out for a day date with our dogs. This was my first visit, although my wife has been here enough that she could probably be considered a regular. :) We came specifically for the brewery opening, ordered a pizza, and I tried the beer while she stuck with the wine. What I really like about Whyte Horse is that it doesn't feel stale. The menu and decorations change, which keeps the place fresh, fun, and interesting. The staff is also incredibly friendly and welcoming. I think you can probably tell I'm a fan after just one visit. It's relaxing, fun, eclectic, tasty, dog-friendly (outdoor only), and just an all-around great place to spend an afternoon. We'll definitely be back. read more

First off...Amanda is amazing! We went on an early afternoon. Amanda was the only employee in the house. She ended up with three nice size groups. She was friendly and full of smiles. She was polite and engaging as she hustled to serve samples, make wine & slushee flights and...make food! Amanda ROCKS!! It's been a few years since we've been back. They moved the tasting from the house to a newer facility. The outside is attractive and open. Inside comfortably seated 30+ people. The winery has adopted a different "theme" every three months. This moments theme was the 80's. The whole place, including the restroom, was decorated in the 80's . Even the food menu and the slushee menu were 80's themed items. Very creative. Though this may not appeal to classic wine drinkers. White horse has a wide variety of wines to try. We focused on dry whites and reds. You won't find many unique tastes. However the standard brands (Pinot Gris & Noir) have good tastes with nice flavors. The glassware was very attractive to accent the wine. You need to try the custom made wine slushee flights if you want something other than a glass of wine. These look fun and very tasty read more

In town visiting from out of state. Had the best time! Great food and great service! Happened upon live music on a Saturday night. Can't say enough good things about this place. If you have a chance you should check it out! read more

Excellent bruschetta. Great wines and service! Sat outside on porch and it was beautiful out.

We kicked off my wife's birthday weekend at Whyte Horse Winery and it was the perfect move. From the second we walked in, the vibe was friendly, fun, and welcoming. The staff treated us like queens and kept the energy up the whole time with smiles and great service. We had a front-row table for the live music. Samuel Harness is a great musician and gets you in your feels with his emotional vocals. The theme was full-on country glam with names like Southern Belles vs Tennessee Studs and the drinks and food were as creative as they were delicious. We tried the Southern Belle Spin Dip that hit the spot. The Pizza Flight came with four flavors: Nashville Hot, Tennessee Whiskey, Dream More, and a classic sausage. Everything was flavorful and sharable. The Coconut Wallen Whipped Country Pie slush tasted like vacation in a glass. For drinks, we loved the Dolce Peach which was sweet and fruity, and the Pear Apple wine was just as refreshing. The birthday drink was as pretty as it was tasty. The staff made it easy for us to try things. If we weren't sure, they asked a few questions and gave samples. We even took a bottle of their Chautauqua Red home with us. We're already planning our next trip and can't wait for warm weather so we can enjoy one of their outdoor events. If you're looking for a fun place with a killer menu, live music, and top-notch drinks, go check out Whyte Horse Winery. read more

Great wine , great brick oven pizzas, salads, wrap around porch to sit out and enjoy life, listening to music Friday and Saturday evenings

I love this place! They have so many choices of wine and have the most fun wine flights. They also do monthly themes that are so much fun. Last month was Harry Potter themed. They even had a themed menu. I really enjoy their wood fired pizza. They have both outside and inside seating and is family friendly. They can even make a mocktail flight for your kiddo. If you're in the Monticello area, it's a must stop! read more

I absolutely love Whyte Horse Winery! Its always a party! Love their themed event nights. We went to Barbie night and enjoyed the Barbie themed drinks. They were as delicious as they were pretty. the service is always first class, and I never mind standing in line because I know it's worth the experience of just ordering. Those ladies know how to enjoy their job, and their enthusiasm is contagious! The are so creative with the decor and themes, and really go all out to put it over the top. They also have music most Friday nights outside, it couldn't be more enjoyable. If you're in the area, make sure you "hoof" it on over for a great time. Kids are welcome, too read more

The ambiance is great! Music by Kyle Bledsoe--perfect for an end of summer day. Charcuterie board was yummy. We also noshed on breadsticks w/ 3 sauces--cheddar, pesto, and white cheese. The drinks were inventive and tasty! Enjoyable spot for pets, kids and their well-behaved adults. Harry Potter theme added to the experience. Table service is available inside and outside. read more

Service was good but didn't go out of her way, pleasantries. Ambiance was nice. The choices we chose were superb along with getting a snack with all the beverages. A little pricey but I would recommend and go again! read more

We randomly decided to come here while on a trip and couldn't have been happier with the experience. The food and drinks are great and the staff was fun and friendly. I had the Man N Black and my wife had the Dolly Parton to drink, both of which were delicious. For food she got the 3 biscuit flight and I got the Pig Pen. The biscuit were fresh made and crumbly and the pulled pork had a great flavor without being drowned in BBQ. I highly recommend stopping by. read more

Whyte Horse Winery is a fun place to try different wine based cocktail drinks, have some pizza, and listen to music on the lawn. We usually make this a special Sunday trip. Each month there is a new theme for the bar and the drinks. Our latest visit was during Harry Potter month and yes there are drinks for the kids. One misstep on this visit is they forgot to add the corn to our pizza that we paid extra for. We pointed it out and was told they would ""look into it" then never heard back. Otherwise, our visits here have been great and we will go back. read more

Relaxing time. Warm welcome by staff and beautiful shady spot to sit, relax with cheese plate and wine slushy. Love it

I enjoyed my time here! The only problem was choosing what wine slushie to try! Haha what a problem to have. The pizza was good and the pretzel bites were fabulous. My group tried both the wine cheese and cheese without wine and found we all preferred the wine cheese. Plan to relax and spend some time here. You can play cornhole out front. TIP* Take a cooler for any slushies to go! read more

This place is always wonderful. The pizzas are amazing!!! We had a few of the specialty ones and I'd come back for those alone. One has pesto and chicken on it. It's the perfect end piece to drinking a little too much. Beautiful outdoor space to lose track of time in. The wine slushees never disappoint, either. They have a flight special on them right now and it was great to try the different kinds! My favorite time to visit is Christmas time when they have the decor up. It's so warm and inviting. read more

It had been three years since we last visited Whyte Horse and we liked it then, and now, it is even better! Of all the wineries we have visited, this is the first to offer a flight of wine slushies! Genius idea #1! Since our last visit, they have built an entirely new building with a new tasting room and great outdoor space. It was quite enjoyable to sit outside and enjoy our slushies. They also offer take home wine slushies in a pouch! Genius idea # 2! And they have DOZENS of flavors! It will be an easy decision to visit again very soon! read more

This was a delightful place to spend time tasting wine. This family owned business has a couple vineyards in state (one behind their shop) and also get some grapes from California so that they can offer more dry wines than a lot of other Hoosier wineries. They don't just order pulp, they get the whole grapes and do all the processing themselves to control the process and flavors. After browsing through the shop looking at wines, cheeses, and artisan products (like sauces), I decided to have a tasting of six wines. (If you buy three bottles, the tasting is free!) I was pleased that I liked every wine I tried! That doesn't happen every place I go, so I was impressed. The family offers wine club options for regular customers that seemed to keep filing in during my visit. I couldn't believe how busy they were on a Thursday evening as the place kept filling with people. The owner did her best to keep up, but obviously, one server for a full house slows down the process. But everyone seemed to be relaxed and go with the flow. That speaks of good wine and a positive relationship with customers. If you are in the area and don't have to rush off, make a point of stopping by and giving their wines a try.

No matter what state or country I'm visiting, I always take time to wine taste. I was pleasantly surprised at the wine here at Whyte horse winery especially because I was expecting fruit wine. But their Malbec was jammy (not what I was expecting), red and black fruits with a taste of dark chocolate & the Pinot Noir was silky and on the lighter side. I was fortunate to meet the winemaker Amanda and give her my thoughts, and I totally enjoyed our conversation about California wine, Indiana wines and just what a great job she was doing. The other great find was there chicken, pesto, pizza, and when I say it was probably one of the best I've ever had, I mean it. I read the reviews on their pizza and they were spot on! Didn't get a chance to try their wine slushies, they looked delicious and refreshing...maybe next time. Thanks for a great day winetasting in Monticello under the trees, on a beautiful white farmhouse, surrounded by fields. read more

Liked the flight options. The flavors were fun. Understand the line situation on a Saturday evening will be long. Worst part was we ordered our pizza at 4:53 and only got it at 6pm after we went to get it from the cook ourselves. Outdoor venue+ sweet drinks= bees read more

I visited this winery on a one-winery, after work dinner tour out of Lafayette on a Friday in August. I knew we would have some wine samplings and a buffet dinner. Beyond that this was a total crapshoot. When we arrived I was impressed - I thought I was going to be visiting a tiny farmhouse. This place is BIG. Looks like they built an all-new secondary building that houses a second tasting room and the winery operations. It was beautiful. The main, old building with the gift shop did look a bit small. We spent all our time in the newer building. Wine was not as sweet as most Indiana wineries which I appreciated a lot. They also had some "mixed drinks" which are wines with added flavors. Never seen that before and the coconut one was really delicious. Our sommelier was friendly and efficient. Wines were pretty good. The dinner buffet was catered by a company out of Lafayette. It was a taco bar. And it was a REALLY good taco bar. Did not expect that. Also didnt expect so many people. I thought it would be our tour and a smattering of others. No, people were showing up just for this taco buffet. There was tons of people. but on a nice night, there was also plenty of space outside and inside to eat. Outside there was live music. One-man band. And he put on a great show. The outdoor area is surrounded by corn fields with a small vineyard and cool gazebo out back to add to the ambience. Everyone in our group thought this place was just great. Oh and guess what? They have bathrooms :) This is worth driving from Lafayette just for the food, a glass of wine and chilling out. Had a great time. read more

This place was perfect!! The wine slush varieties are amazing!!! They are great! The staff were all friendly! Everyone was offering assistance. This area is very relaxing just what we needed after all that society has endured! We will return with guests. Thank you White Horse Winery! Keep doing what your doing! We appreciate not rushing us out even though it was closing and pouring rain read more

By far the best winery I have ever been to. I actually do not even like wine, but I really enjoy wine slushies! They had a few holiday slushies that were amazing. The whole winery is so pretty, the deck is huge. They have rocking chairs and plenty of seating outside. The drinks were awesome considering how cheap their prices are. Our server Holland was so sweet and fun. I can't wait to come back!! read more

Great wine! And who can pass up a free wine tasting! Love the novelty items in the shop as well. Very important, don't forget to bring ID. Even if your over eighty, I'm sure they will refuse you without ID! read more

What a great place for a sunday slushy on the front porch! Live music and excellent location in Monticello makes this a good stop for any ocassion. Also, the addition of the pizza ovens made this a solid entertainment option. The staff is nice and helpful... always. read more

Our FAVORITE Midwest winery. Unlike many wineries in the Midwest, Whyte Horse has mastered both dry and sweeter wines. The drys are smooth and appropriately bodied. The sweets are pleasantly sweet. They always seem to be improving their vintages. The staff is always fun and helpful and the owner is a gem--full of enthusiasm and love for her craft. We especially enjoy relaxing with a bottle and some cheese and crackers in their sunroom, or on the porch in good weather. They'll cut up your cheese and serve it on a pretty plate or board, so you can enjoy it with your wine. What a perfect way way to wile away an afternoon! We joined their "Wine Club," which provides 4 bottles of wine each quarter. As an added benefit, Wine Club members get a discount on everything--wine, cheese, gifts, etc. We love that! They also have events every Friday and lots of other special events. We haven't been here on Friday eves, as we are from out of state, but they look fun! They have a separate building adjacent to the wine tasting building. We've seen weddings, showers, reunions and all sorts of groups there. They also have a nice outdoor area with tables close to the vineyard. Neat place for weddings and engagements. We can't wait for each quarter to roll around so we have an excuse to come back. But then, who needs an excuse for good wine! read more

Stopped by this winery for a special event. The staff didn't acknowledge the bride, but other customers at the winery did. A few of us did the 5 wine testings for $3 and a few of us did the chocolate and wine testing for $10. We were crammed up by the bar, only 2 ppl fit from our party. We asked to sit at the table and the staff member helping us said that would be too difficult for her to serve us. Overall, the space was too small and poorly organized and the staff was rude and not very knowledgeable. read more

This place has a very good wines as well as dining. It is a year-round winery that has great outdoor seating spring-fall in the south portion of Monticello. They serve pizza, salads, soup (fall and winter) and some good appetizers and desserts. The staff is friendly and attentive. If you know the wine you want, get a glass or a bottle. If not, try one of their wine tasting towers to figure it out. read more

Stopped by on a Saturday afternoon. House converted into a winery. Tasting bar was small can accommodate 6-8 people. Parlor room is only sitting area with 4 tables. Outside small patio with only 3-4 tables. They also have some picnic tables off to the side of the house. We did the chocolate tasting paired with 4 sweet wines. We had to wait about 20 minutes for our wine. The server forgot about us. The wine and chocolate was ok, but nothing great. We won't return it just wasn't that great. read more

This is a cute little Winery located in Monticello Indiana just a few miles away from Indiana Beach and if you fly like we do only a short 20-minute trip in the airplane where the airport has a courtesy car that you can use to drive right down the road.

The staff is always friendly and courteous and very knowledgeable in the wines that they sell so give them a try you won't leave disappointed and don't forget to try their black beauty their blackberry wine is very sweet, they even have a port and if you're into ports you will love this one, they are all delicious! read more

We met Whyte Horse Winery manager Brittany Amm at the Wednesday farmers market in W Lafayette, only to be disappointed to find out they're not allowed to provide tastings. She invited us to visit the winery in Monticello, which we did! No disappointment there! Everything was beyond expectation! Weather! Ambiance! Service! Gift selection! Seating areas! Pizza - perfection! Grounds were immaculately groomed! The wine selection....excellent! read more

I purchased the Blackberry wine from Whyte Horse Winery. It tasted like sour ketchup, completely unpalatable.

The winery has a nice setting. We went with friends, service was excellent, server was Brittany, she has an excellent personality. Pizza was good. Would highly recommend!!! read more

Surprised I didn't take the chance to visit this winery when it opened up in my backyard years ago. Instead I decided to try it after I had moved away from Indiana, and when I was back on vacation. Certainly regret not coming out sooner. When they first built the place I was skeptical as to why anyone would want to build a winery in Monticello, but it's very clear it was a good move. Beautifully little winery with a small vineyard behind the main store. I remember what used to be there before this winery was built. An old shack with corn fields. I used to browse around that area and even played paintball back there a few times around that shack. Anyways on my visit I did some wine tasting, and it was free. Introduced to nearly almost all of their wines. I did paired tasting with my g/f and we split the wines allowing to us to get more tasting. We were there for probably an hour looking around and tasting. Great visit will be back for sure the next time I come back to Monti. If i still lived in Monticello this would be a regular spot for me to get wine. Really wish I would of taken advantage of it when I lived half a block from it. Ended up buying the red table wine Black Beauty, and their white Riesling wine. The Black Beauty is a red dessert wine with a touch of blackberries and sweetness. Don't typically like sugary wines, but this one isn't overly sweetened and taste great. The white Riesling is a semi-dry wine with the aromas of peach and honeysuckle. This was a good white wine. Nothing spectacular, but I would buy it again. read more

Hands down one of the best wineries in Indiana! It's the cutest old farm house and has some cute shopping with any wine themed item you could want. They also carry some great cheese and you could enjoy a cheese and cracker platter on the patio or front porch area. The tasting fee is $3 for 5 samples and it's a great deal. You can also purchase by the glass or bottle. I could easily spend hours here! If you are a fan of dry reds their Zin and Cab shouldn't be missed. I can't vouch for sweets because I'm not a fan, but others in my group were. read more

I went in November with some friends. It's a cute farmhouse in the middle of no where Indiana. We tasted some good wines and enjoyed a couple bottles in the lounge. The winery can also be rented for private events for a reasonable rate and works with two caterers or you can bring in your own food. My only complaint is that it is too far from Lafayette but I think it is worth the drive (as long as you can find a DD). read more

Love love love this place. It is my new favorite winery. We stopped here while on the Indiana grown wine trail. They are so friendly and helpful. We actually joined a wine club and we live over 2 hours away. We plan to make the trip several times a year. My absolute favorite was the Zin after hearing another person ask for it I tried it and love it. Their special wine that could be purchased in a growler was and apple cinnamon that tasted just like apple cider. Mmm so good. I can't wait to go back read more

So I'll admit, I had really low expectations for this place. It's in a tiny, nondescript town in Indiana. It's not well advertised...blah, blah. I was totally blown away and really happy with what I found. I tried at least 8 wines and all of them were the bomb. I am a dry red kind of dude but even the sweet wines meant business. We decided to stay for a bottle (the dolce white, try it..superb) and bought some cheese-- only to find out they were out of crackers.. Not to worry though..They grabbed some from the back and cut up the cheese and everything. It was a nice gesture and I'm all about gestures. On top of all that it was really quaint yet elegant. Overall, a superb wine-drinking experience. Conclusions: Wine-- 5 of 5 *'s Service-- 5 of 5 *'s Price-- $$ Atmosphere-- 5 of 5 *'s read more
