Winemaker’s Private Tour and Tasting

We welcome limited visits to our gated estate for a tour and tasting.  Being a small operation, our hours are consumed with the demands of the vineyard and winery – as it should be!  You can taste the diligence of our labors in the glass.

We’ll take time off to join you ourselves during the hours of 11:00AM – 4:30PM each Thursday, Friday, or Saturday from April 15 – September 15.  Please make an appointment request by clicking the “Contact Us” button below, or call and leave a message; 269-409-1855. We’ll respond as soon as we are able.   Tour groups are limited to no more than 10 adults, so if your group is fewer, we may combine you with another appointment. Kindly consider that Winery Estate tours are not suitable for younger children.

 You will walk the estate trails and through the vineyards hearing the story of the vines and our work amongst them.  The tour will culminate al fresco style outside the winery to taste 5 samples of the finished wine paired with a tasting of local bread and cheeses.  Winery discounts on purchases of 12 bottles or more.

 $25 (Tour charges are waived for Club members)

Alan, 5 Star Review: This is a must visit for any oenophiles or if you are simply curious about the high potential for Michigan wines. Jim Lester is one of the top winemakers/viticulturists in Michigan and his wines show it year-after-year, weather permitting. His red Shou, a blend in the Bordeaux style, is the best dry red I have ever tasted from our state. It would hold its own against competition from other more famous growing regions, IMHO. Try for yourself and see what you think! He's a great guy also. You won't be disappointed.

Carole, 5 Star Review: Wow! We've had the pleasure of visiting wineries around the world, but never had the experience we had today with the winemaker! I'd give them 10 stars if I could for the experience. And another 10 for the wines. Must do…
