About Fiekerts Homestead Wines

Fiekerts Homestead Wines is located in Rising Sun, a small Ohio River town in southeastern Indiana that carries a lot of charm for visitors making a day trip from Cincinnati or Louisville. The region's rolling hills and river valley setting give it a genuinely scenic backdrop that larger urban wineries simply can't match. As a dedicated wine tasting room, Fiekerts is focused specifically on the tasting experience rather than trying to be everything at once. That focused approach often means a more personal, unhurried visit for guests who take the drive out.

Services & Process

As a wine tasting room, Fiekerts Homestead Wines centers its operation on guided tastings where guests can work through a curated selection of wines at their own pace. Tasting flights are the main event, usually featuring a mix of dry, semi-sweet, and sweet options so guests can find their preferences. Many homestead-style wineries also sell bottles directly from the tasting room, letting you take home favorites from the session. Wine education is naturally woven into the experience, with staff explaining flavor profiles, production methods, and what makes each bottle distinct.

It's also a popular destination for day-trippers coming from Cincinnati, which is just across the state line, and from the Lawrenceburg and Aurora communities nearby. The Ohio River corridor draws visitors from both Indiana and Kentucky.
