OUR JOURNEY
LANTHIER WINERY:
IT STARTED WITH A DREAM
It was 1990 when Chris Lanthier and his soon-to-be bride, Tami Hagemier, purchased the property at 123 Mill Street in Historic Madison, Indiana.
As most people know, the best way to start a marriage is to purchase a restoration project that would take 12 months just to remove debris from decades of neglect.
Fast forward 4 years, to 1994, and the winery finally opens its doors and quickly makes its mark in the 'world of wine.'
Presently, the winery is a highly visited tourist destination with many beloved events and promotions that take place throughout the year.
Lanthier Winery doesn't just stick to wine, it also houses the Loft Gallery and one of the Nation's only outdoor fine art galleries. Lanthier Winery brought life to the historic grounds of Mill Street and, like fine wine, continues to improve with age.
