Our wines are handcrafted, not mass produced.  From pressing the grapes to bottling and labeling the Cellarmaster has his hand (literally) in every process.  His attention to detail, to quality and customer make Lanthier Winery one of Indiana's most successful wineries.

Cleanliness may be next to Godliness, but it's also a strict demand Chris places on all equipment. You'll often see him sanitizing and personally inspecting the interior of his wine tanks. 

In 2004 owner and Cellarmaster Chris Lanthier extended the wine production facilities to accommodate the winery's rapid growth and need for increased wine production. All Lanthier Winery wines are handcrafted using centuries old techniques. The production facilities showcase the blend of art and science used when creating Lanthier Winery's award winning wines.  From small 60 gallon barrels to state of the art "killer chiller" 1000 gallon stainless steel containments with insulated, temperature control plastic surrounds, Chris Lanthier tenderly tends to each years new vintage. 

Lab analysis is an ongoing process  in quality wine production.  Careful attention to the handling of juice and wine at every step guarantees nature's nectar will be enhanced not destroyed as the fruit progresses from vine to juice to wine.

"Creating award winning wines is not enough, creating wines with unique flavor and style is not enough. You must do all those things and more.  To create a wine for which people are happy to pay, to create a wine that persons seek out and cherish, to create a wine where your customers become your friends and they are proud to share and serve my wine, that is enough."
