Best Wineries in Lake Leelanau
9 wineries matched to your taste and atmosphere
45 North Vineyard & Winery
Lake Leelanau · Leelanau Peninsula
“Northern Michigan winery named for the 45th parallel running through their vineyard. Casual outdoor spot with lawn games, bike trails, and sparkling peach wine worth the stop.” ›
Amoritas Vineyards
Lake Leelanau · Leelanau Peninsula
“Michigan whites done right on the Leelanau Peninsula. Their dry Riesling cuts through the lake-effect noise—clean, focused, not trying to be something it isn't. Sandy loam soils on French Road Plains produce the vibrant whites this latitude does best.” ›
Aurora Cellars
Lake Leelanau · Leelanau Peninsula
“Northern Michigan boutique winery making serious dry wines where harsh winters force grapes to prove themselves—the bubbles hit hard, and they're betting on Blaufrankisch when everyone else plays it safe with Riesling.” ›
Blustone Vineyards
Lake Leelanau · Leelanau Peninsula
“Six-time winner of Leelanau Peninsula's top winery award, Blustone makes Lake Michigan-influenced wines from hillside vineyards with views that make Napa transplants homesick. Modern tasting room, serious wine club following.” ›
Boathouse Vineyards
Lake Leelanau · Leelanau Peninsula
“Small estate on Lake Leelanau's Narrows growing 13 varieties organically at one of the county's highest elevations. The tasting room sits waterfront where you can dock your boat and taste small-lot wines while watching the lake traffic.” ›
Chateau Fontaine
Lake Leelanau · Leelanau Peninsula
“Family-run Leelanau winery where the sweet Riesling actually tastes like what's on the label—a rarity in Michigan. Live music on the lawn, dogs welcome, and staff who'll pour you 12 wines without the attitude.” ›
Good Harbor Vineyards
Lake Leelanau · Leelanau Peninsula
“Farm-focused Leelanau winery making everyday wines from 100% Michigan fruit, with a heated lakeside patio and staff who actually talk wine instead of scripts.” ›
Laurentide Winery
Lake Leelanau · Leelanau Peninsula
“Small Michigan producer making Sauvignon Blanc that actually earns its 93 points—crisp, clean, and worthy of shipping two cases home on an e-bike tour.” ›
Soul Squeeze Cellars
Lake Leelanau · Leelanau Peninsula
“Hard cider specialist on Leelanau Peninsula mixing wine with unexpected flavors like ghost pepper-spiked blackberry cider and cherry fortified wine. Backyard bonfire vibes with cornhole and a secondary bar.” ›
