~30 miles away · Vanderbilt
Vanderbilt Vines Winery
Otsego County's very first winery — estate grown grapes, handcrafted wines, and a beautiful property worth the short drive. Live music events through the season make this one a destination in its own right. A hidden gem that deserves more attention.
~58–65 miles away · Petoskey Area
Mackinaw Trail Winery & Brewery
Award-winning wines and craft beer under one roof — a rare combination done exceptionally well. A great stop on a Petoskey day trip, paired with the waterfront and downtown shopping that make Petoskey one of northern Michigan's best towns.
Petoskey Farms Vineyard & Winery
A stunning property that's part winery, part lavender farm, part coffeehouse — with sweeping views from the patio. One of the most beautiful settings in northern Michigan. Plan to linger. This one is a full afternoon, not just a quick tasting.
Maple Moon Sugarbush & Winery
Something you won't find anywhere else — America's first maple winery. Wines crafted from maple syrup produced right on the property. Completely unique, memorable, and a conversation starter for years. Don't leave without a bottle.
~85 miles away · Bucket List
Old Mission Peninsula Wine Trail
Ten world-class wineries stretched along a stunning peninsula jutting into Grand Traverse Bay. Peninsula Cellars, 2 Lads, Mari Vineyards, Black Star Farms — each one worth a visit on its own. Make a full day of it, drive the peninsula slowly, and pair it with dinner in downtown Traverse City. This is one of the great wine experiences in the Midwest.
