Growing Conditions

With a climate similar to that of Champagne, France, it is no wonder that both Chardonnay and Pinot Noir thrive on the Leelanau Peninsula. Mild winters rich with snow fall protect and insulate the vines. The snow protection, ideal soil composition, and climatic conditions make Chardonnay and many other types of vinifera well suited for wine production in Northern-Michigan.
