Hospitality first
Guests are met with real warmth, practical recommendations, and a tasting room that feels comfortable for date nights, group outings, and Sunday stops.
Our story
Family owned. Community poured.
Running Vines Winery is a Chesterton tasting room built on a love of wine, the energy of gathering, and the belief that a good bottle should feel personal.
Why Running Vines exists
Wine should bring people in, not keep them out.
Running Vines Winery is family-owned and operated, and that matters in every part of the experience. The tasting room is approachable without feeling ordinary, polished without feeling stiff, and rooted in the kind of hospitality that makes guests feel like regulars.
The winery was built around a love of wine and a passion for sharing it with the community. That mission shows up in award-winning wines, local retailer partnerships, events that bring people downtown, and a team that wants every guest to find a pour they genuinely enjoy.
“A bottle is only part of the experience. The real goal is giving people a place to gather, celebrate, relax, and come back to.”
— Running Vines Winery
