Lewis Station Winery, Distillery & Kitchen

Lewis Station Winery, Distillery & Kitchen is a winery in Lake Station, IN. It operates as a family owned winery and boutique wine shop, making small-batch wines with a low sulfite, natural approach. The lineup includes big red wines such as a Bourbon Barrel Aged Cabernet Sauvignon, Old Vine Zinfandel and Sangiovese, alongside fruit forward sweet wines, and a Proprietary Red that won gold at the 2023, 2024 and 2025 International Craft Beverage Competition in California.

A newer line of spirits includes vodkas in regular, cucumber, lavender, lemon, coffee, raspberry, watermelon, habanero and black cherry, plus a London dry gin and whiskey. The kitchen serves a bistro style menu that includes Pinsa crust Italian pizzas, and Wisconsin craft beers are poured alongside tasting flights of both wine and spirits. Friendly dogs are welcome on the outdoor patio.

The winery opened in the summer of 2011 with a few wines, adding food and more wines over the years. In 2018 it became Wisconsin's first Certified Craft Winery, a designation earned from the Craft Wine Association, meaning wines are made in small lots with the winemaking overseen by the winemaker using grapes from an identifiable vineyard. Winemaker and owner Rob Lewis has described craft wine as being about appreciating the differences from one grape crop to the next, including seasonality and terroir. The business occupies a refurbished vintage gas station, and hours run Wednesday through Saturday from noon to 8:00 PM and Sunday from 11:00 AM to 3:00 PM. It holds a rating of 4.70.

Lewis Station Winery, Distillery & Kitchen sits at 217 N Main St. The winery is a draw for its big red wines and its spirits, and it remains a distinctive stop for wine and spirits tasting in Lake Station.
