Indiana wine refers to wine made from grapes grown in the U.S. state of Indiana. Wine has been produced in the region since the early days of European colonization in the 18th century. In the mid-19th century, Indiana was the tenth-largest winegrape producing state in the country. There are two American Viticultural Areas (AVA) in Indiana, the multi-state Ohio River Valley AVA which also expands across Kentucky and Ohio, and the Indiana Uplands AVA located entirely within south-central Indiana and resident of the state's oldest and most prolific winery since 1972, Oliver Winery.
