Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need experience to kayak or raft here?
No prior experience is needed. The staff provides a safety briefing before you head out, and the water routes are suitable for beginners. It's a relaxed float, not whitewater.
Can I do just the wine tasting without the water activities?
Absolutely. The tasting room operates independently of the outdoor activities. You can walk in, taste a selection of wines, and enjoy the atmosphere without booking a river trip.
Are reservations required for the tasting room?
It's a good idea to call ahead, especially on weekends or during warmer months when river activity picks up. Walk-ins are often welcome, but calling (260) 228-1909 ensures you get the experience you want.
Is this a good spot for a date or small group outing?
It's one of the better options in Huntington for exactly that. The mix of activity, wine, and ice cream gives couples and small groups plenty to do without needing to drive to multiple locations.
What kinds of wine are available for tasting?
The tasting room focuses on approachable wines that pair well with a casual, outdoor setting. Contact the business directly for current pour selections since the lineup can change by season.
Are children or pets welcome?
Families are welcome for the outdoor and ice cream portions of the experience. For the wine tasting room specifically, it's worth confirming age policies when you call ahead.
