Reviews for Shady Creek Winery in Michigan City, IN
Who knew I couldn't review twice, so I am editing my first review from June... Saturday, September 24, 2022 saw Shady Creek... hosting Fall Fest. Hot mulled wine greeted us on a beautiful and crisp sunny day. If inclined, one could stomp grapes, runsack races, paint pumpkins, or just chill and listen to live music while visiting with friends. The upstairs area had a hugecharcuterie board, beautifully prepped with a bounty of cheeses, fruits, veggies, meats and other delights. Tucked awayconspicuously was their Midnight Dune (my personal favorite) wine paired with SC's spin on "dirt"- a scrumptious mix of smokedchocolate, bacon, pecans, cocoa & powered sugar. I snuck back a couple of times, they work well with each other. On the mainfloor, 2 large tables overflowed with nibbles including: individual cheeseballs stuffed with a bkueberry compote, meatballs, apumpkin pureed dip, gourmet pizza, specialty doughnut holes, omg I could go on but one just needs to experience it themelves. One glass of wine was included with admission, and of course, one could (and did) purchase more. Shady Creek may be the lastwinery in Indiana before you hit the popular NW Michigan wine trail, but it has the prettiest campus, most spacious tastingroomS and cleanest bathrooms (admit it, this is important). Their wines are top notch and the staff is outstanding. Their sommeliers, vitner, and owners are unassuming and approachable. Never feel silly asking any questions about thier wines orfoods. And if you dont know how to use those scary looking wine openers, well, they will be happy to teach you! FromJune.... Been a fan of Shady Creek since the beginning, when it was a small 1 room tasting room. Today, after its hugeexpansion, it now boosts a rooftop patio, events center, private tastings room and a huge outdoor area beautifully landscapedwith triple the seating availability. No longer do we sit in a party tent for events. Their wines have improved over time Read more

Shady Creek Winery is very inviting and vibrant with an open concept allowing plenty of natural light which I loved. The wines... were very good the reason for 3 stars for the food is because I only had the flatbread which was good but need to explore themenu a bit more. It was cold outside so couldn’t enjoy the patio seating. This was my first time but definitely won’t be mylast definitely recommend for date night or a girls day out. Read more
We celebrated a 50th birthday and had a group of 10 women. The winery is absolutely gorgeous both outside and in. We... thoroughly enjoyed our tour, showcasing all of the beautiful event spaces (that many of us are already planning on tapping intofor future personal/corporate parties). There were so many wonderful wines to choose from, we tasted quite a few and they allshowcased amazing flavors. The staff was very welcoming and extremely accommodating and took such great care of our group. Wetried and shared a variety of food options and the consensus was overwhelming that the food was in no way secondary to the wine. Given the fact that our group kept cancelling our other winery stops for the day, you could say it was a huge success! We willall be back for another visit soon! Read more
