Roanoke

About the restaurant

Located in Roanoke, a charming, historic rural community in northeast Indiana (15 minutes from Ft. Wayne, 1.5 hours north of Indianapolis and 3 hours east of Chicago), Joseph Decuis is the showcase for local farm raised food, and is a gourmet experience to remember. Our menu features seasonal dishes with ingredients raised on our farm (and other like minded farms), creatively and artfully prepared by our Chefs. The heart of the restaurant is housed in an old bank building (the vaults are now wine cellars) where you’ll feel as though you’ve stepped back in time to a simpler way of life where time around the table meant something. You’ll enjoy a top-quality meal in quiet, comfortable surroundings with outstanding hospitality.

This was a prix fixe luncheon event -there were four courses with 2 wine pairing. The wine was also excellent. It is a great setting, privately owned and run, wait staff is very professional and the ‘garden room /atrium is all glass and provides a sense of being outdoors.

Beautiful, relaxing atmosphere in the restored hardware store. We love coming here on our annual trip back north. Prime rib and salmon were delicious. Love that they offer risotto instead of rice! Excellent drinks and service! Thank you Frank!

Exceptional meal with a quiet atmosphere. My wife and I went for our 26th anniversary and our experience was phenomenal. Randall our waiter was great. Very knowledgeable and personable. We started with the crab cakes and they were excellent. I don't like seafood and still ate one myself. Our filets were cooked perfectly and the mashed potatoes were light and flavorful. We ended the night with the creme bruele and that capped off the night with a highlight.

About the restaurant

Constructed on our family-owned farm, Country Heritage Winery & Vineyard gives true meaning to its name. The farm has over 100 years of family heritage. We have generations of experience growing excellent crops, and it is our greatest pride to nurture our grapes from the day we plant the vines through the day you enjoy our wine.

We maintain over 70 acres of vineyards and several acres of blueberries. We work with highly regarded vineyards and farms to source the rest of our fruit. With meticulous care and attention to detail, we strive to nurture the best grapes for our wines. After all, if the fruit is great, the winemaking is easy.

Beautiful winery! Tons of seating options, inside and outside. We were there for “Happy Hour” and had delicious wine slushes, walking pork taco and pork sandwich. The food was very good. We will definitely go back! I’m sure in the evening when they have music/entertainers the place would be booming! Very nice atmosphere!
