Oliver Winery: My First Wine Tasting in Bloomington, Indiana

My First Winery Visit: Oliver Winery in Bloomington, Indiana

This past weekend I checked off a long-standing goal — my very first winery visit — at Oliver Winery in Bloomington, Indiana. The grounds are truly beautiful. As a wine lover always on the lookout for new bottles to try, I was eager to see what the winery had in store. I tasted my way through eight different wines and found two I genuinely loved, enough that I had to take them home. The range on offer is impressively broad, so nearly every palate can find something to enjoy.
