    Tradition Lives On at Leelanau’s Peninsula Bel Lago Winery

    Founded in 1987, Bel Lago is one of the pioneering wineries of the Leelanau Peninsula AVA which was established in 1982. Now, over 30 years later, Bel Lago grows more that 100 varietals on 37 acres. One of the founders of the winery and to this day winemaker, Charlie Edson, has certainly made his mark in the region. We were fortunate to catch up with him on our visit and during our conversation it was evident that he is passionate about making world class wines grown out of the terroir of the Leelanau Peninsula.

    The Beauty of Diversity at Shady Lane Cellars

    The Beauty of Diversity at Shady Lane Cellars

    The recently welcomed fresh air of autumn got us thinking about our visit to Shady Lane Cellars last fall. Located on Suttons Bay, Michigan, which lies within the Leelanau Peninsula AVA, Shady Lane prides themselves on doing things handcrafted from the ground up.

    During our visit we were fortunate to enjoy one of the most diverse tastings that we have experienced from one single estate. With so many varietals in their lineup, it was impressive to see the consistency in quality they have managed to achieve in their wines.

    On Top of The World at The Historic Hanzell Farm & Vineyards

    Visiting memory lane, while working on our last feature, we remembered the amazing time we had at Hanzell Vineyards over a year ago. Nestled at the toe of the Mayacamas Mountains, this family farm is home to the oldest Pinot Noir and Chardonnay vines in the Western Hemisphere. A property that anyone would dream of calling home, Hanzell is fully committed to the land they own and it shows with their bio farming practices. From sheep acting as lawn mowers to pigs acting as tillers, Hanzell takes great pride in making sure the terroir they care for is helping produce the best wines possible.
