Groundbreaking on the state's 64th winery has taken place in Huntington County. Two-EE's Winery in Roanoke is expected to open in the spring, and Indiana Wine Grape Council Marketing Director Jeanette Merritt tells Inside INdiana Business at least 10 other operations are in the works. She says existing wineries help boost the state's economy by attracting more than two million visitors a year.
Merritt adds the average wine-related tourist pumps between $200 and $300 into local economies and since many wineries are in smaller communitities, the industry is providing a significant boost for some rural areas.
She adds the state produces 1.1 million gallons a year, which will increase as more operations go online.
The council is working on a study that will update the industry's economic impact on Indiana.
