The Oxto Edit
Oxto AIYes, that Marty Lagina—the Oak Island guy owns this place, and reviews confirm his staff genuinely likes him. The 100% estate model is real: 73 acres across seven vineyard sites, all farmed sustainably. Tuesday and Thursday live music if you're into that. Tours book fast (only two daily), but the terrace seating doesn't require advance planning.
About
Mari Vineyards spans 73 acres of estate vineyards on Old Mission Peninsula, where sandy glacial loam and Italian winemaking heritage converge. The operation is 100% estate-grown—every bottle comes from one of seven vineyard blocks farmed by a team that clearly respects ownership (Google reviewers note staff speak of Marty Lagina like family). The tasting room pairs estate wines with small plates, the terrace overlooks Northern Michigan's better views, and wine caves offer temperature-controlled refuge from tourist season crowds. Live music runs Tuesdays and Thursdays. Tours are limited to two daily and fill quickly; book ahead if you want the full cellar access. The wine club ships twice yearly with 10% discount and complimentary monthly tastings. Riesling is the flagship here—cool-climate acidity that justifies the drive north.
