A small boutiique Winery and Vineyard nestled in the rolling hills of Leelanau County, our wines are 100% estate grown and bottled from grapes including Riesling, Pinot Gris, Chardonnay, Pinot Blanc, Muscat, Pinot Noir, Merlot and Cabernet Franc.  We recently upgraded our Winery and hired a Bordeaux educated Winemaker to help produce as good as red wine as is capable in our Northern Michigan climate.   We have an off-site Tasting Room in the Village of Lake Leelanau and on the water - boaters welcome.
