Fodor's Expert Review Put-in-Bay Winery

Although most people are more likely to associate Ohio with corn or soybean production than they are with wine, the Buckeye State has had a strong viticulture industry since the early 19th century. South Bass Island has a couple of wineries of its own, the newest of which is Put-in-Bay Winery. There’s a gift shop and a small exhibit on winemaking; those who want a more thorough experience can go on one of the half-hour tasting tours, which combine a tasting session (for those of legal drinking age) with a tour of the estate’s Victorian mansion.
