Good Harbor Vineyards & Winery

The Simpson family wanted to create a high quality Michigan wine for consumers to enjoy at an affordable price. This was the plan put into place when they opened the doors of Good Harbor Vineyards back in 1980. Great wine doesn't need to come at an extravagant cost. Bruce Simpson studied viticulture and oenology at the University of California Davis to begin his journey as a local winemaker.

Our Cellar Assortment packages are a great way to find out more about Good Harbor Vineyards wine when you cannot visit our tasting room. From a flight of sparkling wines to the seasonal assortment pack, we can get you the bottles you need to be the highlight of any party. Each bottle is packed with only the best grapes, and we use industry-leading methods to ensure their juice creates a unique taste in the Northern Michigan region.

Using light-colored grapes and fermenting them without any skin helps give our white wine selection their brilliant pale yellow and hay-like colors. They also come in various sweet and dry profiles to suit any palate and preference. You can quickly bring a bottle of Pinot Grigio to the park, then move to a Chardonnay for dinner and finish it all off with a Late Harvest Riesling for dessert.
