Booked tickets for a 7 course meal, which had the wrong address listed. We live in Elwood, the address listed was in Monticello...at least an hour and a half away. I had to drop my daughter off in Kokomo for my mother to babysit, which was planned a month and a half out.Upon arriving, the staff was wonderful and very friendly. I have no complaint with that. However, since the address was listed incorrectly on the tickets and we were completely unaware that a Kokomo location even existed, it was a bit excessive to have to drive to Monticello just to be told that we were in the wrong location.Yes, they refunded our tickets (which isn't 100% yet because the money hasn't hit the bank account...will update), but didn't take much accountability for listing the wrong address. I felt like they should have made it right by at least paying for our pizza. We were supposed to be having a 7 course meal with lobster ravioli, with featured wine pairing. Kinda bogus trade off, if you ask me.My complaint here is for the general manager alone...ya kinda screwed 2 holidays for me as a woman, my birthday and valentine's day. Yea, first world problems, I know. The fact still remains, if you're trying to become a larger business and branch out, perhaps put the correct address on the tickets. I will never be returning to your business because of the blunder. Had you have made it right, I would have totally returned. Sadly, not worth the time. I wouldn't cross the street for it.

Chardonnay was good. We had a couple of the small bites which were very good.

We had such a great time here. We got the four wine flight and we got the pretzel bites with homemade cheese dipping sauce. The wines were delicious, especially the apple flavored one. There was music outside which was great. The ambience is so nice and we loved the Halloween Decour. Lots of seating very roomy, fast service, and a very clean establishment.

I love this place! They have so many choices of wine and have the most fun wine flights. They also do monthly themes that are so much fun. Last month was Harry Potter themed. They even had a themed menu. I really enjoy their wood fired pizza. They have both outside and inside seating and is family friendly. They can even make a mocktail flight for your kiddo. If you're in the Monticello area, it's a must stop!

Went to this fantastic winery with a friend not expecting what we ended up having. I'm not much of a wine drinker but we ordered food and some drinks and both were absolutely fantastic!we had pizza and it was AMAZING! I can't wait to go back and try everything else! Then the drinks we ordered were fun and delicious!everything was great! I can't wait to go back!( mainly for the delicious food) haha

Came there this month for their Harry Potter themed menu! I love their pizza, it's the only place in town that I consider to have a good pizza worth recommending. Being from the Chicago area and being used to quality pizza I guess I'm just picky ?. I also went there for their shark week theme and that was amazing too! Their drinks are always so creative and fun! Will always recommend this place to tourists and family coming in.

We showed up and honestly was very put off by the whole experience from the get go. One of the main buildings was “off limits” for a private event which only left the bar area available and outside. The inside seating was loud, more like a non smoking bar. The food seemed like typical bar fare, but we were not eating due to having lunch late.Came during a Harry Potter theme (not really a fan but it’s fine) and most of the drinks didn’t have appetizing mixtures to them. Banana taffy isn’t a flavor I would have in a drink. I came here to drink wine not cocktails. I can do that in a regular bar for way less money.I think I was expecting more of a winery experience with the ability to browse bottles, taste different wines, and learn about the history. Instead we were greeted with having no clue what to do or where to go, told to just walk around the property since the main building was unavailable, and there was literally no way to get any other information because the staff was so busy.Not high up on my list of places to return to. Do better.

I absolutely love Whyte Horse Winery! Its always a party! Love their themed event nights. We went to Barbie night and enjoyed the Barbie themed drinks. They were as delicious as they were pretty. the service is always first class, and I never mind standing in line because I know it's worth the experience of just ordering. Those ladies know how to enjoy their job, and their enthusiasm is contagious! The are so creative with the decor and themes, and really go all out to put it over the top. They also have music most Friday nights outside, it couldn't be more enjoyable. If you're in the area, make sure you "hoof" it on over for a great time. Kids are welcome, too
Whyte Horse Winery is a fun place to try different wine based cocktail drinks, have some pizza, and listen to music on the lawn. We usually make this a special Sunday trip. Each month there is a new theme for the bar and the drinks. Our latest visit was during Harry Potter month and yes there are drinks for the kids. One misstep on this visit is they forgot to add the corn to our pizza that we paid extra for. We pointed it out and was told they would ""look into it" then never heard back. Otherwise, our visits here have been great and we will go back.

The ambiance is great! Music by Kyle Bledsoe--perfect for an end of summer day. Charcuterie board was yummy. We also noshed on breadsticks w/ 3 sauces--cheddar, pesto, and white cheese. The drinks were inventive and tasty! Enjoyable spot for pets, kids and their well-behaved adults. Harry Potter theme added to the experience. Table service is available inside and outside.

No matter what state or country I'm visiting, I always take time to wine taste. I was pleasantly surprised at the wine here at Whyte horse winery especially because I was expecting fruit wine. But their Malbec was jammy (not what I was expecting), red and black fruits with a taste of dark chocolate & the Pinot Noir was silky and on the lighter side. I was fortunate to meet the winemaker Amanda and give her my thoughts, and I totally enjoyed our conversation about California wine, Indiana wines and just what a great job she was doing. The other great find was there chicken, pesto, pizza, and when I say it was probably one of the best I've ever had, I mean it. I read the reviews on their pizza and they were spot on! Didn't get a chance to try their wine slushies, they looked delicious and refreshing...maybe next time. Thanks for a great day winetasting in Monticello under the trees, on a beautiful white farmhouse, surrounded by fields.

2nd time visiting Whyte Horse. Found out the theme inside changes monthly as well as the drinks menu. Very fun and unique experience. The live music outside on Fridays is super as well. The band Scarecrowe was playing and they are super. All genres. Their apps and pizza are DEE-LISH.
Will will
Main winery is now closed. The wine tasting is now combined with a trashy bar, pizza, wine tasting pole barn behind the winery. I feel like I entered a 10 pm bar for a wine tasting now in the pole barn
