Growing Conditions

Pinot Blanc grows on 3 of our farms, all within a mile of each other near the end of the Leelanau Peninsula. The peninsula narrows and we are only 1.5 miles east and 1.5 miles west of Lake Michigan/Grand Traverse Bay. This extends our growing season into early November. Pinot Blanc loves our sandy loam soils producing big, beautiful golden bunches.
