We pride ourselves in carefully crafting our award winning wines from grapes that are sourced from some of the best regions in the world. We believe that a great wine is not about the price tag, rather, it is derived from enjoying what you're drinking amongst great friends and shared experiences.
Our equipment is comprised of large, Italian, stainless steel tanks that together can produce over 11,000 bottles of wine at one time! In addition, we have an American oak Foeder that can age 1,200 bottles of wine at a time and can be viewed from the hallway window. Most of our grapes are sourced from California where there is ample supply and variety available for the high demand, however, we source Michigan fruit such as cherries and apples for our blended styles!
Our winery operation produces over 20 wines, five of which are always on tap. We have wines for all palates: white, red & fruit wines with options ranging from dry to sweet. With so many options, you will certainly find a style that suits your palate. We also have a steady rotation of seasonal wines and specialties. Examples include Apple Pie wine in the fall, Winter Spiced wine in the winter, Blood Orange wine for summer, and our award-winning House Port fortified with French barrel-aged Brandy.

Michigan licensing does not allow us to serve any alcohol that is not made in our facility. Our bars serve only our small batch craft beverages. It provides for a unique experience and often guests love to explore new flavors. We have a very large selection of beverages and offer sampler trays for those who want to try a variety when they visit.
