Good Harbor Vineyards is one of the founding estates of Leelanau Peninsula's wine industry. Since 1980, the Simpson family has produced honest, well-crafted wines that reflect the character of the region.
The winery is best known for Fishtown White, a semi-sweet blend that has become one of the most popular wines in northern Michigan. But the portfolio extends well beyond crowd-pleasers — their dry Pinot Grigio, Riesling, and Chardonnay are consistently excellent, and their Moonstruck dessert wine is a regional treasure.
Located near the village of Lake Leelanau, Good Harbor benefits from the unique microclimate created by Lake Michigan and the surrounding terrain. The estate vineyards are planted on well-drained glacial soils that stress the vines just enough to concentrate flavors.
The tasting room is welcoming and unpretentious, with a knowledgeable staff that's happy to guide visitors through the range. Good Harbor is a reliable stop on any Leelanau wine trail itinerary.
