About
Blustone Vineyards sits atop rolling vineyard hills on Michigan's Leelanau Peninsula, where Lake Michigan's moderating influence creates one of the Midwest's most compelling cool-climate wine regions. Winner of the peninsula's top winery award six consecutive years, Blustone has built a reputation on site-expressive wines that reflect their unique northern latitude terroir. The modern tasting room overlooks estate vineyards, offering a clean, light-filled space that contrasts sharply with the rustic barn aesthetic dominating much of Michigan wine country. Their wine club commands fierce loyalty—members travel from out of state and plan weddings here. The outdoor patio, framed by hydrangeas and vineyard views, hosts music series events and a popular Foodie Friday program pairing local food with their wines. Walk-ins are welcome when space allows, but the smart play is reserving ahead, especially weekends when the tasting room fills with both serious wine buyers and the Traverse City tourist crowd. This isn't a beginner's first-stop winery—it's where you go when you're ready to understand what Michigan's climate-driven winemaking can actually achieve.
The Oxto Edit
Oxto AIThe view from Sylt Road Vineyard isn't just pretty—it's proof that Michigan's cool-climate winemaking can stand with anyone. This is what happens when you combine Great Lakes terroir with a no-nonsense approach to viticulture. The club members who keep coming back from Texas know what's up.
