Sample wines right on site in the rustic tasting room at Fruit Hills Winery & Orchard, then grab a bottle (or two!) and soak in the views from the patio overlooking the rolling Bristol fruit hills.
Explore
Get outside and experience Bristol’s charm! Paddle the St. Joseph River by kayak or canoe (handicap-accessible launch at Hermance Park) or rally your friends for a game of pickleball at Cummins Park. Lace up your skates at JaRisa’s Fun Zone, then step back in time at Bonneyville Mill - one of Indiana’s oldest mills - where you can shop for fresh flour and hike 7 miles of scenic trails.
