Our Story
FarmHouse Vineyards is an organic winery located in Northern Michigan. Owners John and Nancy moved from Northern California to Petoskey in 1995. They have always had a passion for healthy living and organic gardening. So they decided to plant some cold-variety grapes (Valiant) in 2012 on their property. Although the Valiant grapes were thriving and healthy, it limited the winemaking process to making “sweet” wines. After a few years of harvesting and making small batches of wine, they decided to add another grape variety – the Marquette grape. The Marquette grape, also a cold-variety, lends to a bolder wine with hints of cherry and pepper. With the success of both varietals, the Frontenac Blanc grapes were added to the vineyard. And this white wine sold out during its inaugural tasting season! This light and refreshing wine will be back in higher volume going forward.
In addition to these three varieties, they make several blends with other grape juices.
The tasting room opened in the Summer of 2020 – FarmHouse Vineyards is open on Friday & Saturday afternoons (1p-7p) from July through October. The boutique tasting room and rustic barn are the perfect place to spend a summer afternoon. And there is ample outdoor space for you to enjoy some peace and quiet.
FarmHouse Vineyards is a small family business, relying upon family (including John & Nancy's twelve grandkids!), friends, and neighbors on Harvest Day.
We hope to see you out here!
Organic and Sustainable
From Our Organic Vineyard to Your Glass
At FarmHouse Vineyards, we are proud to be a family-run winery. John, a former builder, and his son Dan use their experience and love for craftsmanship (and a bit of help from Julie, Dan's wife, with her background in chemistry) to create exceptional wines . Harvest day is always a community affair with family and neighbors picking the grapes before we press them and complete all the necessary wine chemistry. We do bench trials as a family to decide how the wine should be blended. We work tirelessly to deliver a product that we know you'll love. Visit us to experience the magic of our family and our Northern Michigan vineyard！
