This is what wine represents, an inextricable link to all the characteristics of the place from where it comes balanced against the ebb and flow of yearly influences that define each vintage. It is this relationship that defines great wine regions of the world. Situated on the 45th parallel, the Leelanau Peninsula embodies this; and the pristine freshwater of Lake Michigan and the West Arm of Grand Traverse Bay uniquely surround our region offering the benefit of maritime influence that generates a long warm autumn and extends our growing season each year. With 27 vineyards and wineries along the Leelanau Peninsula Wine Trail, there are plentiful opportunities to experience the bounty of this peninsula and products that reflect the nature of our region and the uniqueness of each winery. Each and every tasting room you encounter offers a new and different way to immerse yourself in Leelanau wine culture and helps you to create lasting memories of your time here. Wine should be fun, and it should be memorable; so cheers to your journey! We look forward to seeing you along the trail!

  • INTRODUCTION a Sense of the Place the Leelanau
    INTRODUCTION A Sense of the Place The Leelanau Peninsula is one of those places that visitors love because it conforms so readily to their idea of it. It is a place to resort, to recreate, to escape the pace of city life, to find solitude and seek tranquility. In the slapdash language of travel magazines it is both a destination and a state of mind; a Mecca for nature lovers; a precious gem awaiting discovery; the Riviera of the North and the Cape Cod of the Great Lakes Such designations mean nothing, of course. A place can’t be captured in easy phrases. To understand Leelanau you must spend time there. To know the place – any place – you must invest yourself in it, dig into it with your hands and feet, bury your face in it, get a noseful, an earful, a mouthful. It feels like home to me. I worked here summers when I was a kid, and year-round as a young man, and have lived most of my life within a few miles of it. I’ve hiked, fished, hunted, biked, camped, skied here; have returned for family reunions, graduations, weddings, and funerals. My mother and her sisters and brother were born in Glen Arbor and spent much of their early lives exploring the dunes, the woods, and the Lake Michigan shore. My father’s family bought acreage in the southern portion of the county in the 1940s and established the original Sleeping Bear Farms, where they grew cherries and made maple syrup and raised palominos. Several dozen of my cousins, aunts, uncles, grandparents, and shirtsleeve relatives on both sides live here or are buried here.

  • As the Oldest Winery in the State of Michigan, St
    MAY As the oldest winery in the state of Michigan, St With the weather turning warmer and spring buds popping all around, our minds turn towards summer vacations and lazy days in the sun. We are happy to forget the harsh weather from this past winter. As any farmer will tell you, harvest is what happens in the vineyard year round. Though winter may be gone, it’s not forgotten. With each unique vintage, the wines are influenced by many things, and the biggest of those is the whims of Mother Nature. After a mild December, Michigan experienced extreme cold events in January 2019. These “Polar Vortex” events existed when a mass of frigid polar air plunged southward bringing very cold temperatures. Here in the Lake Michigan Shore AVA, a low pressure system and winter storm passed through and brought a severe cold snap with temperatures dipping between -10 F to -15 F for over 6 days. These temperatures are simply too cold for many of the tender European vinifera vines (vines like Chardonnay, Cabernet Franc, Pinot Gris) to survive without some major damage. Site selection is a crucial factor in successful vineyard production and our Mountain Road Estate Vineyard continues to fair well, even during these harsh conditions. Located at one of the highest points in the Lake Michigan shore AVA, this vineyard’s elevation and slope helps protect the vines from extreme weather. Vine assessment in April found that there was damage to the European vinifera grown there, but it was not as bad as expected. With adjusted pruning (and fingers crossed- no spring frost damage), we should have close to a normal crop of Sauvignon Blanc, Pinot Noir, Riesling and Cabernet Sauvignon at Mountain Road.
