Satek Winery

Our trip to this winery was very rewarding. We were able to sample nine wines (for free) and the tender was very knowledgable about each wine. He did not push us to buy, but we ended up with six bottles that qualified for a 5% discount. A very enjoyable wine tasting experience and would recommend to all.

Stopped through for a tasting while road tripping on I-​80. They have a very nice variety of wines, nothing too overpowering. Was pleasantly surprised by the Mango Wine — very refreshing summer wine. Friendly staff, clean, and tasty wines.

My visit was fantastic. I personally do not like wine but a perfect Christmas shopping stop for friends who enjoy a drink. The workers were bottling right through the window and the person doing the tasting was friendly and very helpful. I will come back here whenever I need a gift in the future.

You wouldn’t think you would find too many wineries in Northeast Indiana, but if you are in the area this is a good one to check out. It is casual and low-​key, but you get eight tastings for free. The woman who was serving us even snuck another one in there. I wish I knew her name, but she was exceptionally friendly and made the experience very worthwhile. Their bottles are very reasonably priced as well. It would be nice if they had some cheese plates to offer with the wine, but that was okay. We did pair some chocolate with raspberry wine that we tasted and it was wonderful.

This is a fun pit stop along a drive from Pittsburgh to Notre Dame (or any point further along the interstate, I suppose). We were looking for a way to break up the six (ish) hour drive home and saw a sign for this winery and figured we would give it a shot.
The first thing it has going for it is the ease of getting there. It was less then a five minute drive off the highway and there were plenty of signs to direct you. The next great thing is that the wine tasting was free. The only charge was if you wanted to sample the ice wine, and if you are an ice wine lover, the $ 3 price for that tasting is worth it. (You get your $ 3 back if you purchase the ice wine).
There was a wide variety of wines to sample. Really something for every palate. I sampled several dry reds that I really enjoyed. My favorites were the Merlot and the Syrah. Other wines that I enjoyed were the Soren’s Favorite, and the moscato. My husband loved the 101 Lakes Red, but it was too sweet for my tastes. (think drinking grape juice)
The fruit wines were all excellent. The Raspberry and blackberry were both a great blend of sweet and tart. My favorite, though, was the Mango Mania. It isn’t often you see mango as a wine flavor.
The only reason this is knocked down one star is that the staff there at the time we were was a tad unprofessional. The older gentlemen serving the wine was courteous and attentive, but there were two younger individuals who kept popping in and out behind the counter talking about getting rid of their farmer’s tan and how they had partied too much the night before. It wasn’t a big issue, but it did detract slightly from the experience.
If you enjoy wine or are looking for a fun way to break up a long highway drive, this is a great stop.

Everyone was super friendly and the wine was great.
Mango Mania and 101 Lakes Wine were the group favorites

We’d never been this far north in Indiana, so on a weekend trip to Michigan, we made sure to stop back on our drive home, especially since Satek Winery isn’t too far off the interstate. This is one of the smaller wineries I’ve been to, but we received great service and the wine was good. Our favorite is their blueberry wine, which tastes great chilled or mulled. Bottom line — it’s worth the stop if you’re in the area.

A small little place out in the middle of nowhere but i do love this place. It is close to a place we go camping each year and we always stop in for a tasting and bottle or two of wine. The staff is always great at what they do. They have a good selection of wines form dry to sweet and all in between. It is set off the road in a little wooded area with tables in a grassy area to sit and enjoy a glass (or bottle). Or if you would like a little privacy they have a few tables in the woods. Even if you aren’t a big wine drinker stop here and they might make one out of you.

Great wine, great staff, get here.
The whites, the reds, the wonderfuls. Yes, they have it all, everything is good. The berry wines, dont give up on anything. Ice wine too! Go ahead spend a few bucks, I think at 6 bottles you get 10% off and I didnt stop at 6 bottles. Blasphemy, 6 bottles would get me through a week or two. ;)
It’s small and family like atmosphere keep me coming back. I’ve not had a tour, but maybe someday. Each time I have dropped by they have been busy for sure. It’s really a nice place in Indiana. Thanks for being a hidden gem.

Great wine and friendly staff. Large selection of all types of wine. With I69 bridge out you need to take the detour but worth the drive.

Holy cow, this was our favorite winery on our roadtrip from Colorado to Rhode Island.
Try the blueberry and blackberry wines. I usually hate fruit wines but these were amazing (and just in time for Thanksgiving!)
We left with 12 bottles of wine if that gives you any indication of how good this wine is. Across the other states we bought 18 in total, so adding 12 more means they were very good.
Also, try the Port which isn’t syrupy like a lot of other Ports.
My favorites were probably Larry’s and the Chardonnay but honestly there were none I hated and it was hard to choose.
Also, try their Mango wine just for fun since it won the best Mango wine in the country.
The guy who was serving us let us try as many wines as we wanted (free tastings) and encouraged us to try as many as we wanted.
Great place to stop and it’s literally only a mile off I-​80 so it’s the perfect break on a roadtrip.

Okay people,
Another winery I love and had to share.
We were on a road trip to DC and stopped in here for a little break to stretch our legs (also so we could buy some good wine to enjoy while in DC).
The winding driveway had vines on the side and lots of greenery and was very peaceful. They also have a huge tent and picnic tables and I saw some people with picnic baskets who bought a bottle and were eating lunch there. It’s a really great idea and looked like a lot of fun.
They have a small efficient private lot for parking as well.
Upon entry, we were greeted promptly and sincerely; it was very refreshing. At the counter, Jason quickly gave us menus and asked what our preferences were and suggested wines that would suit our palates. He encouraged us to go down the list of some 27 distinct types of wines they carry.
Every wine we tasted, he told us about how long the wine matured, what grapes they were made from (even the hybrids) and the history of the wines they carried, also he threw in a few random American History facts that related to the wine which I thought was very interesting.
We left with 6 bottles of wine (you get a discount) and their AMAZING fudge (that he let us try with the raspberry wine– DO IT– don’t pass up that opportunity)! The fudge is 4% alcohol and made with their chardonnay and is FANTASTIC!
At roughly $ 12 a bottle, you really can’t go wrong with this winery if you are on a budget; oh and by the way– you get an amazing product.
I can’t wait to go back.
Here is a list of our favorite wines we tried (most of which we bought):
