Due west of the Tippecanoe River in Monticello is the escape you’ve been searching for — Whyte Horse Winery. The family-owned, family-friendly winery infuses fun with every pour throughout each season.
Known for more than its wines, Whyte Horse has a reputation for its craveable menus, curated for the season, and its robust events lineup. Pair your tasting flight with a brick oven pizza for the ultimate wind-down. Perfectly chewy, bubbly crust — topped with tangy balsamic glaze, rich pepperoni, and fresh herbs — offers an elevated experience for Friday nights and beyond. Whether you choose a spot on the peaceful porch, under the shade trees, or inside, there’s a seat waiting for you at Whyte Horse.
Stop by the tasting room throughout the week to curate your ideal lineup. When you’ve found the varieties you can’t go without, consider joining the Whyte Horse wine club, with monthly or quarterly releases in sweet, dry, or Vintner’s Choice selections. Try Indiana’s favorite Traminette, bursting with apple and strawberry notes made from grapes grown in the Whyte Horse vineyard. Pair your pizza selection with Chautauqua Red, sweet enough to compete with bold, spicy flavors, and best enjoyed chilled.
Slushies are a visitor favorite at Whyte Horse, and shift with the seasons and sync with the winery’s legendary events. In the spring, expect fresh, fruit-forward blends that beckon warmer weather, shifting into summer fun flavors full of Americana. Later in the year, plan a return to Whyte Horse for its spooky, pop culture-infused Halloween events and magical Christmas experiences, including cozy igloos, perfect for date night or group outing. Whyte Horse also coordinates a book club, offers live music weekly, and hosts annual events folks plan for all year long. The winery’s Mother’s Day pop-up is one of the most sought-after events to celebrate, the Murder Mystery dinner sells out quickly, and the September car show brings in over 250 vintage rides.
Whyte Horse Winery is open year-round, Tuesday through Sunday, with extended hours on Fridays from April to October. For the most up-to-date events and concerts, visit Whyte Horse Winery’s Facebook page.
