Plan Your Pick!
The rolling hills and dunes of Harbor Country Michigan are officially known as the Lake Michigan Shore Appellation. Farmers have grown fruits, grapes and vegetables here with first-class taste and outstanding appearance for over 100 years. The terroir is similar to the great wine growing regions of Europe and Napa. The influence of Lake Michigan, known as "lake effect" coaxes Mother Nature to play gently through the four seasons.
