Back-To-Back Voted Best Winery of Suburban Indy

On March 17th, we received news that left us both humbled and deeply grateful — for the second year in a row, The Rejoicing Vine has been named “Best Winery in Suburban Indy” by Current Publishing’s Best of Suburban Indy 2026. See all the winners in this year’s publication: 👉 https://youarecurrent.com/bestof2026/


This recognition as one of the best wineries in Indianapolis is especially meaningful because it comes directly from the community, the community we deeply care for and want to see thrive. From the people who have visited, gathered, and shared life with us.


As we reflected on this moment, we also found ourselves revisiting the gratitude we shared last year: 👉 https://www.rejoicingvine.com/post/best-winery-indianapolis-2025


A Community That Makes This Possible

Being voted Best Winery in Indy isn’t something we take lightly. This honor exists because of you.


To every guest who has spent an afternoon at our winery…To every wine club member who continues to support local, sustainable wine…To every person who has shared our story with a friend…THANK YOU!!!


From the beginning, our vision has never really been about what's in the glass. While we take that part seriously, our vision always about providing a place to build community, a place where people feel known, welcomed, and loved. A place that cultivates life in the hearts of the community.


Rooted in Gratitude

We also want to take a moment to acknowledge where we believe all of this truly comes from. Every opportunity, every challenge, every step forward (and even the steps backwards) have been shaped by God’s guidance and provision. His vision for this winery continues to lead us in ways we couldn’t have planned ourselves.


We are incredibly thankful for His faithfulness, and we pray that this recognition as the best winery in Indianapolis and every single visit of yours reflects His glory. Regardless of who you are or where you're at in your faith journey we want you to know He loves you deeply, cares for you, and has plans for you far greater than you can hope or imagine. And if that bit interests you or even intimidates you we invite you to read our blog thread related to faith and our business.


Our Incredible Team

Lastly, we'd be remiss if we didn't recognize the amazing staff who bring our vision to life each and every day. Without their hard work and sacrifice The Rejoicing Vine wouldn't be possible.


Our team shows up each day with intention, care, and a genuine desire to serve others. They are the ones creating meaningful experiences, building relationships, and making every guest feel at home.


There is no “Best Winery Indy” without them so BIG thank-you to our staff, both present and past, who have helped us get here.


Cultivating Life Together

Being named a Best Winery in Suburban Indy two years in a row is not something we ever expected but it’s something we’re incredibly grateful for.

More than anything, it reminds us that what we’re building together matters.

A space centered on:

  • Community

  • Authentic relationships

  • Stewardship


If being recognized among the best wineries in Indianapolis affirms anything, it’s that these values resonate.


And for that, we are deeply thankful.


Here’s to another year of gathering, celebrating, and continuing to Cultivate Life, together.


With love,


The Rejoicing Vine 🍇✨
