What makes Michigan wine so special? Our Great Lakes, of course!

the unique lake effect creates perfect fruit-growing conditions with moderate temperatures that don’t hit extreme highs or lows. A long season allows the grapes to ripen and deepen in flavor, which is especially beneficial for big reds like Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc and Merlot. -- Pure Michigan tourism bureau

Known for their award-winning wines, spirits, and ciders, St.Julian is currently building their 7th tasting room right in the heart of Gaylord, Michigan. Located at 2250 M-32, guests will be able to enjoy alcoholic and non-alcoholic tasting options and shop seasonal offerings, as well as special new releases.
