Huber Orchard, Winery and Vineyards started with humble roots in Starlight, Ind., with Carl and Marcella Huber. What began with only a few acres is now a seventh-generation family legacy, owned by Greg and Ted Huber. Today, Huber's 700 acres is Indiana's largest wine-grape producer and has become a popular destination. Over 700,000 people visit Huber Orchard, Winery and Vineyards each year. The family prides itself on being a place for everyone to make memories. From grandparents to children, visitors can enjoy the farm park, ice cream, sampling of wine or much more. "We do what we do every day because we love it, and when you do that, you don't necessarily expect recognition," said Dana Huber, VP of Marketing and Public Relations Huber Orchard, Winery and Vineyards. "I am so blessed to represent a family that has had such historical presence in Indiana." Nominations for the Will Koch Indiana Tourism Leadership Award are submitted by community leaders and members of Indiana's travel, tourism and hospitality industry. Submissions are reviewed by a panel. A video of this year's Will Koch Indiana Tourism Leadership Award can be found here. |
