The Oxto Edit
Oxto AIThis is Michigan's answer to the craft cider boom—Soul Squeeze does sparkling Riesling and fortified cherry wine, but their Captain Hotpants blackberry ghost pepper cider is the real draw. The setup feels more brewpub than traditional tasting room, with games, fire pits, and kids running around.
About
Soul Squeeze Cellars blurs the line between winery and cider house, offering wines like Bubblius Sparkling Riesling and Crazy Carroll cherry fortified alongside their signature hard ciders—including the cult-favorite Captain Hotpants, a blackberry and ghost pepper blend. The backyard setup features a bonfire, lawn games, and a back bar so you never have to leave the outdoor action. Live music and a family-friendly vibe make it more hangout spot than buttoned-up tasting room. Staff pour generous knowledge with their recommendations, and the monthly subscription program proves locals can't get enough.
