Vineyard Vibes Returns to Country Heritage Winery for Summer 2025

LaOtto, IN (March 21, 2025) — Country Heritage Winery is thrilled to announce the return of its popular summer concert series, Vineyard Vibes, beginning May 2, 2025. This exciting series will feature a stellar lineup of live music throughout the summer, running through the first weekend in October.

Presented by Country Heritage Winery and proudly sponsored by Tipton Law, Farmers & Merchants Bank, Premier Exteriors, Fly Heli, Pizza King, Hangar 9 Bar and Grill, Vino Indiana, Butler CPA, The Dehayes Group, Indiana Farmers Insurance, and Principal, Vineyard Vibes promises an unforgettable experience for music lovers of all ages. The concert series will feature a variety of genres, from local bands and tribute acts to popular recording artists, with performances every Friday and Saturday.

The first concert on May 2 will feature Smokestack Jack, kicking off a season full of music and fun. Other notable performances include the Dirty Deeds Tribute on May 24, Stairway to Zepplin Tribute on September 6, and headliners like Matt Stell (with opener Dylan Raymond) on June 21, and Uncle Kracker (with Hubie Ashcraft) on June 9. These four performances are ticketed and can be purchased online, while all other concerts are free admission, offering a range of options for all guests.

Vineyard Vibes is family-friendly; however, per Indiana state law, those under 21 must remain within arm’s reach of a parent or guardian at all times. The Backroads Stillhouse and the new outdoor Courtyard next to the Stillhouse are restricted to guests aged 21 and older.

Important Updates for 2025:

This year, table reservations will be available exclusively in the Upper Level of the winery plaza/concert area on Fridays and Saturdays. All other areas on the property will be first-come, first-served. Table reservations are available for 3-hour blocks from 3-6 pm or 6-9 pm, starting May 2.

Facility Reminders:

  • Country Heritage Winery is a non-smoking facility.
  • Pets are not allowed, except for registered service animals.
  • Balls or toys are not permitted; this is not a park.
  • No outside food or drink is allowed on the premises.

Firepit Reservations: We’re excited to offer firepit reservations starting April 28. We offer two types of firepits:

  • Gas firepits (all ages)
  • Wood firepits (21+)

For wood firepits, a $25 wood bundle must be purchased at the time of booking, which includes the wood and a staff member to start the fire. Staff will not maintain or manage the fire during your reservation. A Charcuterie Board or “When I Dip You Dip” Specialty Dip Board can be added during booking. Please note that there is no service at the firepits, so food and drinks should be ordered at one of the windows or counters. Firepits for Matt Stell & Uncle Kracker performances will have an added service fee, with full service included.

New Amenities for 2025: We are excited to introduce new offerings this season! The Stillhouse will feature a full craft cocktail menu, and both the Stillhouse and Winery will offer a comprehensive wine list. Enjoy our full food menu, including wood-fired pizza and to-go items for a more relaxed experience. Food can be ordered at any window or register, with pickup at the window outside the wood fire oven. The Bistro will offer grab-and-go items, and for those with table reservations in the Upper Level, servers will take orders from the Bistro menu. Please note that wine flights are available on weekends, but tastings stop at 4 pm on Fridays. Several dessert options, including cupcakes, will also be available.
