enjoying wine time
Shady Creek Winery is telling a new story about wine in America in a fun and approachable way.
At Shady Creek Winery, the focus is on great wine, fun, and relaxation over everything else. A loyal group of team members, Wine Club members, and regular guests have made us a choice destination.
We produce over 30 different wines, including Sweet, Sparkling, Dry White, and Dry Red Wines. We believe great wines start with great fruit. We go directly to the locations where our grape varietals grow well. For instance, we ferment our Petite Sirah with California fruit grown in Lodi, CA, while our Pinot Grigio is produced in Michigan City with fruit farmed only 25 minutes away in Baroda, MI.
“ By focusing on a wine experience where guests can taste different varieties and styles of wine, Shady Creek has brought the Napa Valley experience to the Midwest.”
The Owners
The Schwartz Family began the relaunch of Shady Creek Winery in 2019 with the intention of making it a regional destination for delicious wine and unique experiences. Our goal is to combine first-class wine and food in the heart of the Midwest to foster a love of wine in our guests. Our focus is on creating great customer experiences, whether doing a tasting, grabbing a bite to eat, or opening one of our 30 delicious wines. Everything we do as a winery is to provide a personalized experience. Our new facility and suite of offerings pique the curiosity and excitement for all things wine. With wine as our backdrop, our mission is clear – to provide lovers of wine a destination to gather and enjoy!
