Premium Michigan Wines & Tasting Experiences
Laurentide Winery was founded on a deep passion for viticulture and a commitment to crafting premium wines that reflect the unique terroir of Michigan's Leelanau Peninsula. Our journey began in 2006 when we transitioned from cherry farming to cultivating vitis vinifera grapes, leveraging the region's 350-million-year-old soil composition and proximity to Lake Michigan. With sustainable practices and high-density planting, we produce award-winning cool-climate wines, including our renowned Sauvignon Blanc and Reserve Meritage.Recognized for excellence through numerous gold medals, our mission remains to deliver exceptional wines while offering immersive experiences like private vineyard tours and curated tastings. Our team combines decades of agricultural expertise with a dedication to preserving the natural beauty and heritage of our land.

I was super disappointed today when I was asked to show my vaxx status to sit down a table. My family vaxx and unvaxxed unlike were appalled to have to show vaxxed status to sit down. We will never be coming back because of this. I understand it is a businesses right to demand this but it is also my right to never go back.

What an amazing experience! Booked the wine pairing meal and it was truly 5 star! Ive done the wine tour thing many times and this was-by far- one of the best experiences and most delicious meals Ive had in Traverse city. You will not be disappointed!!! The best part- when I got home and opened a bottle of their wine, I actually loved it! Sometimes you get home from wine tour with all sorts of wine that you loved in the minute but that are too sweet when your not tipsy. Not the issue here! Excellent.

We were in the process of the "Hunts For the Reds of October in Leelanau County, Michigan and stopped in for a sample of the 2018 Reserve Meritage-Cabernet Franc/Merlot Blend. The wine was excellent and they are offering a special of 3 bottles for the price of 2. ($79.98) The service was outstanding, and we got to chat with the owner for a long while. It was a great experience. Bonus points for their Covid safety protocols. They get a 5 Star review.
