About
Dune Bird opened recently as part of Michigan's Leelanau Peninsula wine scene, billing itself as a winery, espresso bar, and gathering spot in one. The property sits along M-22 in Northport with outdoor seating overlooking fields and a landscaped pond. Their Dry Riesling won Platinum at the TEXSOM International Wine Awards, and they release seasonal wines including a pét-nat. The tasting room has a casual, unpretentious feel—families spread out on picnic tables under pergolas while kids use the playground. Indian runner ducks live on the property and get rounded up periodically. There's a vineyard stay option and they host events including walks and paddle tennis. The staff gets consistent praise for being friendly and knowledgeable without any stuffiness.
The Oxto Edit
Oxto AIDune Bird calls itself 'Leelanau's most unexpected stop' and they're not wrong—this is a winery with an espresso bar and a duck parade. The Dry Riesling earned Platinum at TEXSOM, proving serious winemaking happens here despite the playground and the cat named Ron.
