✨ What to Expect at a Wine Tasting
Looking for an amazing wine tasting in Indy? Look no further!
New to wine an not sure what to expect with a tasting? We got you! Whether you're stopping in for a spontaneous sip or planning a big celebration, a wine tasting at The Rejoicing Vine is crafted to be approachable, flavorful, and unforgettable.
What you need to know?
No reservation needed - we get the question a lot, "do I need a reservation to do a tasting?". Nope! Our tastings area available anytime our tasting room is open so just come right in.
Nothing - You don't need to know a single thing about wine to enjoy a flight. In fact sometimes the knower gets in the way of enjoying it, so feel free to turn that part of your brain off.
Here's what you'll experience:
An inviting atmosphere — We strive to treat everyone like family so when you walk in our doors you'll be welcomed as if you're entering our home.
Unrivaled selection of sparkling wines - We are Indiana's sparkling winery, no one else does bubbly like us. At the time of the writing we have 7 bubbly wines on our menu and 1 still wine. Check out our latest wine list.
Something for you - Even if sparkling isn't normally you're thing, our selection is very unique and features a wide range of profiles. We are confident there's something here for you.
Personalized palette adventure - courageous curiosity is one of our core values so we won't restrict your flights by number or wine. You do you!
Expert guidance - new to wine or just unsure? We got you!
Healthy pours - like moving to a new city, wines can take a several sips to settle in, that is why we do our tastings a little different and give you 2 oz (40% of a glass) for each wine you select on your adventure. That's enough wine to settle into it and get to know it before making your judgement. So for those who are driving a little heads up, one of our 5 wine flights is equivalent to 2 glasses of wine. Plan accordingly.
Time to relax—most guests stay 45–60 minutes, though you're welcome to linger
Casual education from our team—ask anything, swirl freely, and sip confidently
Eco-consciousness throughout - from our wines to garbage bags, we meticulously hunt for each and every detail that can help us reduce our environmental impact

Why Choose The Rejoicing Vine for Wine Tasting in Indy?
1. Discover Handcrafted, Local Wines
We get all of our fruit from within a 6 hour drive because we believe (1) wine should have a sense of place and (2) shipping in fruit from further away in not good stewardship. Good news though, Indiana wine grapes are PERFECT profile for sparkling wines. More on that later.
2. A Relaxing, Scenic Atmosphere in the City
Our vineyard is in Indy, although you wouldn't believe it if it weren't just minutes away. Whether you’re enjoying the cozy ambiance of our charming tasting room or sipping in nature on our scenic patio, we offer a laid-back yet refined setting to enjoy a glass of wine.
