Indiana wine trails
- The Indiana Uplands is an American Viticultural Area in the rolling hills of south-central Indiana; its wine trail lists 9 wineries and calls itself the state's original wine trail.
- The IN Winery and Vineyard Association says Indiana has over 100 wineries and that its climate supports more than 40 grape varieties, most of them cold-hardy.
- Grapes named by the association include Traminette, Chambourcin, Vignoles, Catawba and Norton.
- Indiana wine dates to the early 1800s, when Jean Jacques Dufour helped set up a wine-growing community in Vevay; farm winery laws in the 1970s restarted the industry.
