“If your dreams don’t scare you, then they’re not big enough.”

The Byler family faced their fear and tore down three barns to create the life they always dreamed of in 2016. They used the beautiful wood and strong tin roofing from the barns to build what is now Byler Winery in Auburn, Indiana. With not much prior wine crafting experience, they dedicated the next years of their lives to creating stellar wines served with the comfort and hospitality of backroad northern Indiana.

Employee Katie Penland said she wanted a change, some upbeat times, and good people in her life. While working at a nursing home, she decided to apply for the full-time position at Byler Winery to add some positive excitement in her life. That is exactly what she got and is what everyone who walks through the door gets.
The laid-back feel of Byler Winery creates a safe space for people who aren’t too sure about what kinds of wine they enjoy. While enjoying friends and family, it’s also a great place to be social with new community members.
Penland said that it’s more than just drinking with your group; it’s an opportunity to meet people within your community. Everyone is really friendly, and you don’t need to be dressed up to come have a good time. They have an open layout, a cozy fireplace, comfortable couches, and the vintage feel of an old barn.

It’s the family feel, friendliness, and positivity that keeps Katie at Byler Winery and allows her to enjoy her career. The inviting atmosphere and comfortable aesthetic welcomes everybody and anybody to come taste their homemade selection of wines with a new one each month! Byler Winery is open year-round and offers tastings, bottles, glasses, and events.
