Award-Winning Winery in Petoskey, MI | Walloon Lake Winery
At Walloon Lake Winery, we are proud to carry forward a four-generation legacy of family farming and craftsmanship that began in 1954. Our vineyard, nestled between the arms of Walloon Lake, produces award-winning wines from locally grown grapes, including ten varieties cultivated on our own property. We combine traditional methods with sustainable practices to create wines that reflect the unique terroir of Northern Michigan. Our family-built tasting room, constructed using cordwood and reclaimed materials from the farm, offers a one-of-a-kind experience for visitors. We specialize in private events, from rehearsal dinners to corporate outings, hosted in our pavilion or tasting room.

Our wine club provides exclusive benefits to members, including direct shipment of our award-winning wines. With shipping available to 41 states, we bring the taste of Northern Michigan to your doorstep. Our commitment to quality extends to every aspect of our operation, from greenhouse propagation of cold-hardy grape varieties to our weather-protected crush pad. We welcome guests to explore our vineyard tours, shop our merchandise, and experience the Dennis family tradition firsthand. Every bottle we produce embodies decades of agricultural heritage and a passion for winemaking excellence.

Cute little place with great pricing on a quick tasting. The muskrat was creepy and kind of unnerving, but they had a jumper toy for my little one to use. Need a baby changing table though, had to use the fireplace.

This place was a unique building, we loved the wine! Wish there was indoor seating but other than that It was a nice quiet spot to finish our vacation!

The tastings were reasonably priced with generous pours (4 for $10). The sparkling peach wine was good and there are several reds and whites to choose from with each person in our group having a different favorite! The cider did leave something to be desired.
