Your Journey Begins Here

Tucked in the spectacular rural farmland and rolling hills of the Leelanau Peninsula, you will find our unique 160-acre winery estate. After a 15-minute drive from Traverse City along scenic M-22, a stunning vineyard welcomes you to our original flagship property, which has been delighting guests since 1998. Take a trip up north, and enjoy a respite in our small, luxurious 10-room Inn. Our tasting room offers a large selection of internationally award-winning wines and spirits crafted from local fruit. Our inspired culinary team will delight you with local farm-fresh cuisine at the Inn, our popular Arcturos Dining Series, or our seasonal Hearth & Vine Café. Enjoy nature with over three miles of onsite hiking trails, multiple outdoor patios, vineyard walks, and strolls past our numerous horse paddocks. The beautiful outdoors, lakes and beaches, small quaint towns, and our team await you.
