Description

Backroads Vineyard

Backroads Vineyard is nestled in the picturesque backroads of Laurel, Indiana. This unique establishment echoes a vibrant "hippy hillbilly" ambiance and is distinguished by its small-farm character and hands-on approach to winemaking.

History and Background

Operated by Dennis, who takes delight in the artisanal craft of winemaking, Backroads Vineyard focuses on producing small batches of wine. With a philosophy that wine should be enjoyed casually and openly, Dennis promotes a culture of savoring wine on the front porch rather than keeping it hidden away in cellars.
