Yelp's Great Getaway to Bloomington

Pack your stuff- we’re going on an adventure to Bloomington, Indiana this weekend. You may know her as the home of IU and one of the best farmers markets in the state, but have you dabbled in her distilled spirits and meditated in her Buddhist Temple?

Join Yelp in celebrating one of southern Indiana’s best day trip/weekend getaway destinations on April 23 and 24 with nine one-of-a-kind events! This is a build-your-own itinerary event. You must RSVP to each individual event before arriving. **Those who RSVP for two events that fall at the same time will not be considered, please pick one or the other.

1. “Oliver Winery Like You’ve Never Seen Her Before”

Celebrate National Picnic Day with a behind-the-scenes tour with Oliver Winery & tasty eats from Peacetree Mountain Truffles, Risin Creek Creamery, Hunter’s Honey Farm, and Caprini Creamery.

Tastings, bites, and a behind-the-scenes tour at Upland Brewing Company where you can sample brews as fresh as they come. Beer pairing eats on hand thanks to Tulip Tree Creamery, Quilter’s Comfort, Maple Leaf Farms, and Underground Cupcakes and Cafe.
