Good Harbor Vineyards | Lake Leelanau
We are a local Michigan family operating this vineyard since 1980. We chose to produce our own fruit and follow a farming-first philosophy — putting the land and the vine at the center of every decision: focusing on healthy soils, sustainable farming, and minimal intervention.
We’re shaped by Northern Michigan — not just as a place, but as a way of life. Growing up here, you learn that good things take time — and that nothing real can be rushed.
We learned to stay close to what matters. When we had a choice between lucrative careers or a life of winemaking with family, we chose getting our hands dirty and our hearts wide open.
In our lives, farming builds relationships: with the soil, our family, and the world around us. The same principles that guide how we farm — with intention, with patience, with respect — guide everything we make. This is what helps us stay grounded. Honest. Connected.
That’s what our wine carries: not something to be saved, but something to live with. A bottle you open when friends come by unannounced. Or when dinner takes longer — and that’s a good thing.
