Oliver Winery
Founded in 1972, Oliver Winery began as a hobby. Today, Oliver Winery is one of the largest wineries in the U.S. Our wines are distributed in 40 states and shipped direct to consumers across the country. Oliver is also a world-class destination, ranked among Travel + Leisure's top 25 wineries to visit in the U.S. in 2017. Best-in-class service, beautiful grounds, and approachable wines greet thousands each year. Each of our 40+ wines is crafted on-site at our Bloomington, Indiana, production facility. We believe that all styles of wine deserve the highest craft and respect. Our wines are wines that everyone can enjoy, from classic varietal wines to crisp apple ciders and sweet experiments. Oliver Winery’s portfolio includes the best-selling Soft Wine Collection, the Vine Series® Moscato wines, Apple Pie and Peach Pie wines, Camelot Mead, an experimental 500 ml series of Pilot Projects®, varietal wines under the Creekbend Estate-Bottled and Flight Series labels, and more. With 100 employees in a broad range of specialties, Oliver is a challenging, rewarding place to work in a community of smart, diverse professionals. We share and are guided by four company values: respect people; expect quality; think differently; and get stuff done. Our comprehensive benefits and retirement packages compete with Indiana's top employers. We've got perks, too. Employees learn about wines firsthand and are encouraged to develop as professionals. Our Live Well program is award-winning. And, employee events, from Casino Night to a family-friendly vineyard picnic, happen throughout the year. In 2019 and 2020, we were named to Best Places to Work Indiana and Best Places to Work Bloomington. Follow us to see firsthand: facebook.com/oliverwinery @oliverwinery
