Aurora Cellars has cultivated a well-deserved reputation as one of Leelanau Peninsula's finest hidden gems — a boutique winery nestled in the heart of the wine trail that rewards visitors who seek it out with exceptional wines and genuinely warm hospitality.
The wine portfolio spans a confident range of cool-climate varieties, with particular strength in crisp whites and food-friendly rosé. The artisanal food pairings offered at Aurora are among the more thoughtfully curated on the peninsula, elevating the tasting experience beyond the standard sip-and-move-on approach.
The tasting room and surrounding vineyard are also a popular venue for private events and small group experiences, and the staff bring a level of knowledge and enthusiasm that makes even a quick weekday visit feel special.
