What to do and see in Indiana, United States: The Best Distilleries
With beaches, boating, and salmon fishing in Michigan City and Gary bordering Lake Michigan, there is more to Indiana than might appear at first glance. The agricultural heartland even has cross country skiing and snowmobiling to go with the Cornball Express. Southwest Indiana near Evansville is renowned for the well-preserved Native American Angel Mounds State Historic Site. The largest city and state capital is famous worldwide for its Indianapolis 500 race. Even locals living in the suburbs often overlook the Indianapolis Museum of Art, Eiteljorg Museum, NCAA Hall of Champions, the old Union Station museum cluster, and downtown Canal Walk, to name but a few landmarks. South Bend is synonymous with the Fighting Irish of Notre Dame.
Forested Nashville’s art colony fame dates to the early 1900s when Impressionist Theodore Clement Steele overwintered in The House of the Singing Winds. It is now the T.C. Steele State Historic Site. View paintings and sculpture at the I.M. Pei-designed Indiana University Museum of Art. Attend an IU sports event or an opera, ballet, concert, or theater performance. Treat the family to The Little Nashville Opry or The Bill Monroe Bluegrass Park. For healing mineral springs, head south to Orange County, Indiana’s spa resort center.
Enjoy golf, fishing, boating, cross country skiing, snowmobiling, and ice skating in the nation’s agricultural heartland. Monticello and Rensselaer are west of Logansport and north of Lafayette. Take the family on the Cornball Express and Hoosier Hurricane at the Indiana Beach Amusement Resort in Monticello. Play boardwalk carnival games, or let the kids loose on the go-carts. Pile the family into their vehicles for an old-fashioned movie experience at Monticello’s Lake Shore Drive-In. Indulge in a weekend dinner boat cruise to hot band sounds as the Madam Carroll plies Lake Freeman.

We had drinks and Sunday Brunch on their outside deck. Th brunch drink menu is primarily juice or coffee flavored combinations and they are perfect for an alcoholic drink at 10:30 on Sunday morning. The brunch food items are bigger than you might expect and they were very well done and tasty. The service is always excellent. If you are visiting soon you may still be able to pick up a bottle of their Octoberfest Whiskey.

Absolute favorite distillery and alcohol spot. Great service, reasonable prices, and tasty food and drinks. It's all original as well so you get the best quality and won't get it anywhere else. Parking can be difficult at times but the food, cocktails, flights, and now their new points system is amazing! Spend a certain amount and get $5 off your next purchase. New beer on tap!!! These tasty beers started on 07/07/20 from Bad Dad Brewing Co. & Centerpoint. I love the events they have going on Facebook too! Although they can get busy at times, they don't take long to get you what you want. Average drink cost is $7 and food cost is at least $9. Best tasting alcohol I've ever had. Mule drinks aren't bad if you like ginger. Favorites would personally be their hot whiskey/rum cider in the past, the blackberry smash, their own bourbon cream float, and their key lime pie slushy as of 07/09/20. :) Great establishment!

I can't say enough good things about Huber's. I have many special childhood memories of this place and Thanksgiving week I had the opportunity to bring my toddler to continue in the tradition. We loved the farmers market where we purchased fresh apples and bread, fed the ducks, ate at the winery where we tried sweet potato fries and Hubers famous apple butter. After lunch we went to the Cheese & Ice cream shop where we had delicious Pumpkin Pie lattes. Overall we had a lovely family afternoon and I cant wait to return again one day.

The greatest winery/brewery/distillery I’ve ever been to. I adored everyone and everything and I’m so lucky I stumbled upon this place. If you love genuine people, good alcohol and a wonderful environment then this is your place. I felt like I was a part of the family from the moment I walked in and I want to bring my family back as a result.

Indiana Joe was so welcoming and friendly and made our visit amazing. Between tasting their whiskeys, trying cocktails, and a tour of the distillery, it was a major highlight of our visit in South Bend. Not to mention the whiskeys are exceptionally good.
