We don't list every winery — we list the ones that are doing something the wine itself can vouch for. The pours where the producer is in the tasting room. The hillsides where the view does half the work. The pet-nat experiments and the serious Rieslings.
Click through, taste through. Names, not adjectives.
A flagstone path off the Great Hall leads to the tasting room where Cherry Republic pours more than a dozen wines built from Montmorency and Balaton tart cherries, plus two hard ciders — free tastings, no appointment needed. Some bottles are all cherry; others blend in grape. Kids get their own flight of seven cherry sodas at the same counter. It's the one winery in the region where the fruit isn't grape by default.
A cool-climate winery on M-22 north of Leland, roughly 30 minutes up the peninsula from Glen Lake — far enough that it's a deliberate trip, not a stop on the way to somewhere else. Dune Bird pairs its estate wines with a craft espresso bar, which makes it as much a stop for the non-drinker as the wine-trail regular. Live music runs Thursdays and Sundays, May through October. New ownership as of 2025 hasn't changed the pours.
