When our family entered the world of grape growing and wine making, we focused on one thing above all else – staying true to our land. Five years later, we are proud to offer our first vintage of hand-crafted red, white and fruit wines, which we feel embody the essence of what Leelanau Peninsula provides.

Our goal is simple. Begin with high, sloped property with the right soil types. Then, plant the varietals, clones and rootstocks that have proven to produce great fruit in our area, are sought after by consumers and tourists, and make wines that we like.

Next, plant and farm these grapes with an eye towards the highest possible quality and sustainability. We are committed to going the extra mile with our vineyard practices, appropriate yet minimal chemical application, small yields, hand pruning, tying and harvesting, and closely evaluating fruit quality and timing harvest based on both science and taste.

Once our fruit is harvested, we waste no time in getting the fresh, cool fruit to the crush pad and into the hands of French Road Cellars Doug Matthies and Shawn Walters, who have already displayed the capability of producing some of Michigan’s finest wines.

Please share this remarkable moment with us in our new tasting room located in downtown Leland across from the Bluebird restaurant, where we will be waiting to greet you with a sample of our wine and a welcoming smile.
