A man who could sit under the shade of his own vine with his wife and his children about him and the ripe clusters hanging within their reach in such a climate as this and not feel the highest enjoyment, is incapable of happiness. There's no secret.
Great wine begins in the vineyard.
After a two-year search for the perfect conditions to establish their vineyard, Steve, Sandy and Michael Palmer selected a hillside site four miles north of the Ohio River and the historic town of Madison, Indiana. And in 1995 they planted their first vines. Please be patient. The pictures on this page may take a moment to load. We hope to be adding more photos very soon to give you a glimpse of Madison Vineyards.
