A small, locally owned and operated winery in Escanaba, Michigan. Stop in for a wine tasting, a glass or two, or to purchase a bottle! Their grape wine is from cold-climate grapes produced right in Escanaba. Leigh Schmidt is the owner and vintner who makes sure every wine is aged to perfection before serving. Their wine selection began with 3 wines offered during their first season (2008) and has risen to more than 20 wines offered yearly.

Their tasting room is situated in a historical building built in 1893 that’s part of the historic district of old Escanaba. It features an older refurbished bar and a back bar done in art deco style. The walls and ceiling are intricately designed tin dating back to 1895. Open seasonally.
