Domaine Berrien Cellars, located in Berrien Springs, Michigan, is dedicated to creating high-quality wines from high-quality grapes.  All the fruit that goes into our wine is grown and bottled on the estate. Blending cool-climate, estate fruit, with an emphasis on Rhone varietals is how we make some of the most acclaimed wines in Michigan.  With Lake Michigan just six miles to the West, our estate is situated on glacier-carved hills with southern-facing slopes. Because of our location, our vineyard benefits from cooler winters and longer growing seasons. The glaciers responsible for creating the Great Lakes, have influenced our land with the tapestry of rich and diverse soil types that make up our vineyards today. 

Our first commercial vintage was in 2001 with our oldest vines dating back to 1992. Today we grow over 21 unique varietals resulting in vibrant whites, ethereal reds, and lusciously sweet ice wines. While we specialize in high-quality wine, we want to make wine more approachable for everyone.  We hope that Domaine Berrien wine finds its way onto your table. Cheers!

Good Harbor Vineyards has been growing grapes and producing award winning wines on the Leelanau Peninsula since 1980. Having over four decades of winemaking history has allowed the Good Harbor winemaking and viticulture team to truly refine what varieties grow best on specific sites. This experience has allowed us to continue to increase the fruit quality and in the end the overall quality of our wines. Good Harbor Vineyards was founded on the idea that people should be able to afford to drink quality wine every day. We continue to strive to grow clean and pristine fruit in the vineyard and to use that fruit to make high-quality wine at an affordable price in hopes that our patrons will be able to enjoy Good Harbor Vineyard wines on a daily basis.

Verterra was established in 2006 and we craft wines that capture the essence of the Leelanau Peninsula AVA in Michigan.  Estate vineyards are nestled on a peninsula along the 45th parallel surrounded by the beautiful blue waters of Lake Michigan. At Verterra, meaning 'true to the land,' we believe that outstanding wines begin in the vineyard. From meticulously chosen elevated vineyard sites to the careful selection of vinifera clones to sustainable vineyard practices, we ensure that each grape embodies the uniqueness of our region.  Our collection of elegant reds, whites, rosés, and sparkling wines showcases the richness and diversity of our vineyards, reflecting the true essence of the Leelanau Peninsula.

Finding a piece of Leland Blue stone on the shore of Lake Michigan is finding a rare treasure of nature. Blustone wines are inspired by these unanticipated moments in life.

Our Story

Our story started over 30 years ago visiting the Leelanau Peninsula as a family for the first time. The simplicity and beaty of the "tucked away" secret of this part of Michigan has always been what we trasure most. There is a connection to the land found only here amongst the lakes, dunes, hills and sunlit fields and our dream to start Blustone was born out of that. Our namesake is reflective of that connection and the celebration of life which we hope to inspire with every sip of wine.


Our Vineyards

This is where the story starts each season.  Our vineyard team works nonstop year-round to create the outstanding fruit that makes Blustone's exceptional lineup of wines year after year. Our vineyard management team spends countless hours with each grape across our portfolio of properties to ensure only the best fruit makes it to the crush pad.

Our vineyards are located near the 45th Parallel North – the same latitude as the Bordeaux and Rhône wine regions in France. We've learned there's nothing quite like the trademark Leelanau sunshine and temperate Lake Michigan climate to create such optimal growing conditions.

Our Winemaking 

Our winemaking process starts with a principle: let the wine express itself.  It takes a lot of time and patience to make a stand-out bottle of wine and while it's tempting to make wines that answer to deadlines and constraints, we're constantly refocusing to make it all about a product that reflects the labor of the vines and the joy of tasting a piece of Leelanau. You might taste the slope of the hillside in the rich flavors that develop only with constant sunlight exposure or the minerality in our soil that yeild complexity often missed in Michigan wines. These are just a few examples of things we take into account during each growing season. Our fermentation, barrel selection, aging method and release date for each wine changes each year. Each year, you'll experience the Blustone terroir and true varietal character in with every sip.

ACHRIMÈRE WINES is the realization of Aimee Mali’s lifelong passion for wine.  After fifteen years of working as a wine buyer and brand manager throughout the state of Michigan, Aimee turned her love for wine into a working vineyard.  After eleven years of planning and preparation, ACHRIMÈRE WINES was born on Old Mission Peninsula, Michigan, when Aimee planted her first Chardonnay and Pinot Gris grapes in 2015. Since 2017, Aimee has been harvesting her grapes and selling them to neighboring wineries on Old Mission Peninsula. In 2018, Aimee used 1.3 tons of fruit to create her own ACHRIMÈRE WINES.

For 20 years, Mackinaw Trail Winery has been striving to enrich lives with exceptional wines. We have a rich passion for the art of wine making and are overjoyed to share our craft with others.  Our family is proud to have contributed to the ever growing Michigan wine industry with balanced complex, and deliciously desirable wines. 

Our family’s viticultural history started when Ralph Stabile was younger and remembered making his families supply of wine alongside his grandfather, Phillip Stabile. Since then, Ralph has had a passion for making wine. In 2003, Ralph and his wife Laurie Stabile moved to commercialize his wines and open a winery of their very own. Together, Ralph and Laurie became the proud owners of the first winery license in the Upper Peninsula. They then opened their first tasting room on the harbor in Manistique, under the name Mackinaw Trail Winery in 2004. Today, Mackinaw Trail Winery is family owned and operated by Ralph, Laurie, and their son, second generation wine maker, Dustin Stabile.
