Four wineries will offer drinks at the event, including: French Lick Winery, Hunters Ridge Winery from Salem, Carousel Winery from Mitchell, and Monkey Hollow Winery from St. Meinrad. Products from the wineries will be available for cash purchase.
In addition to the wine tasting, there will be appetizers, music, interpretive programs, photo opportunities, and other activities.
