Located at Huber’s Orchard, Winery, & Vineyards in the small, unincorporated town of Starlight in southern Indiana, Starlight Distillery calls upon a foundation of family history to craft fine American spirits. Seven generations of Hubers have sustainably operated the now 850-acre family-owned estate established in 1843 by German immigrant Simon Huber, a farmer and wine maker. The family has been producing exceptional agricultural products for over 179 years!

Named for the town, farmers, and community of Starlight, Indiana, Starlight Distillery was established in 2001 by Greg and Ted Huber to distill spirits as their ancestors did in the 1800s. Their first commercial brandy was released in 2004 and since then, this family affair has grown leaps and bounds, crafting award-winning brandy, rye, bourbon, and more.

Prioritizing quality and sustainability, everything from apples to blackberries to non-GMO heirloom corn varieties are grown on the estate—the largest sustainable fruit farm in Indiana—to curate craft spirits that highlight the family’s focus on local agriculture. The majority of Starlight’s agricultural ingredients are grown on the Huber farm or sourced from neighbor farms, and the distillery publicly shares yearly agricultural reports to underscore the transparency and sustainability of its distilling processes.
