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.

Taylor lived the city life in Chicago after growing up in Leland and graduating from the University of Michigan. She worked in wine sales distribution for the largest wine and spirits distributor in the world, honing her knowledge of wine and business while traveling to renowned wine regions of the world. She carried this extensive experience back home with her and continues to expand the reach of our wines through direct to consumers channels in 17 states (and growing!), boutique and chain grocery stores, and Midwest restaurants. She focuses her marketing efforts on building brands that convey a genuine story of the people and places behind the wines.

Drew Perry was born to be a winemaker. His philosophy and approach to winemaking is to never be stuck to one philosophy or approach as mother nature never provides the same growing conditions from year to year.  He believes that you should never try to mold a wine to what you want it to be, but instead you need to work with what you are given based on the site, the variety, and the vintage growing conditions.

Drew graduated from Michigan State University in 2006 with a degree in Viticulture as well as Oenology and then moved to Napa to honed his craft with a job at Pine Ridge as a Cellar Assistant for the year before moving back to Traverse City to become an Assistant Winemaker at Left Foot Charley, where he further developed his skills until 2014. Since joining Good Harbor Vineyards in 2014, he has created iconic aromatic whites, distinctive cool climate red wines, and authentic sparkling wines from the Leelanau Peninsula. He also makes the wines for Aurora Cellars and a variety of custom clients.

Drew loves making wines that express the unique qualities of each individual vineyard site on the Leelanau Peninsula as a whole.  He strives to create a wine that expresses a specific sense of place. His mission is the creation of wines that surprise and delight the senses.

Sam’s entrepreneurial spirit started with a roadside cherry stand at age 7 and a successful landscaping business in high school. He harvested his viticulture and enology knowledge by working on the family farm with his grandpa and dad every summer while studying business and finance at Michigan State. Ever the innovator, Sam continues to fill gaps in the Michigan wine industry. He created vineyard operating services, now the largest in the state supporting 300+ acres, and launched the only mobile wine bottling service in the midwest.

Rosé

This wine has aromas of cherries and strawberries.  It is crisp, fresh, and fun to drink!

Zweigelt Blend

The rich color is a result of a ripe vintage and excellent extraction of Pinot Noir and Zweigelt together. The medium palate and the medium to long finish are typical of warmer growing seasons. The cherry aromatics found on the nose follow through on the palate along with flavors of raspberry jam.

Clean, Crisp, and with big juicy ripe apple flavors. A Food Friendly Chardonnay.

On the palate you encounter limestone and bright crisp apple. The medium body and perfect acidity on the finish make this wine ideal to pair with a variety of food.

Sweet

Our 2022 Riesling is a parade of peaches and pineapple. The intense fruit aromas spring from the glass inviting you to join the party. 

Coastal Red is a blend of the coasts.  The newly released blend is 75% Cabernet Franc grown on the Fresh Coast of the Leelanau Peninsula with the additional of 25% Syrah blended from the West Coast.  It has beautiful dark fruit notes of blackberry on the nose with a medium body and bright finish.  The acid on the end makes this wine ideal to pair with game, grilled skirt steak, brats and other types of sausage, and hard cheese such as fontina or parmesan.

The complexities that occur on your palate from the beginning to end are sure to delight your senses. Our 2022 Pinot Grigio has a full mid-palate followed with balanced acidity and a wonderful long finish. The rich creamy texture of this wine is a result of careful vineyard management throughout the growing season. We suggest pairing this wine with light pastas, salads, and light meats.

Rich fruit flavors of apple with an integrated round palate filled with terroir driven minerality.

White Blend

This wine has a sweetness on the front but is balanced by Vignoles ever present acidity.  

Kerner is a variety that produces lovely aromatics and has high levels of acid, which if produced properly will age for twenty years with ease. 

This dry crisp sparkling wine has aromatics of grapefruit, pear, and hints of peach. It is most subtle in its presentation on the palate with a fuller body.

Brut

This sparkling wine is dry in style. Lingering fruit flavors are complimented by a hint of minerality in the background. The creamy texture on the palate and the lovely acidity makes this wine a lovely pairing for seafood or a variety of cheese and crackers.

Blanc de Blanc was made in an extra-dry style giving it the perfect level of sweetness on the finish allowing you to drink it alone or to pair it with a variety of cuisine. The wine has layers of apple flavors and toasty notes complimented by a creamy texture with a clean long finish.

The aromatics of cherry and plum work in conjunction with the light earthy undertones of this lovely red wine.

This wine is a refreshing sparkling wine that highlights the delicate nuance of this lesser-known variety of the Pinot family.
