Pere Marquette Winery — Attraction in Pere Marquette Charter Township

We had a phenomenal experience at Pere Marquette. Driving up to the tasting room you get a feel for the beauty and passion surrounding the wines you’re about to taste. Upon walking into the tasting room, you’re greeted by friendly and knowledgeable staff! We cannot say enough good things about Liza; she was kind, well informed, and made our tasting experience truly special. Getting to meet the owners, Wes and Elsie, made the entire afternoon a one of a kind encounter. And now to the best part, THE WINES!! The wine made at Pere Marquette is like none other I’ve ever had. I’m a Pinot noir drinker, and they produced one of the best Pinot noirs I’ve ever had. Their wines were fruit forward without being heavy or sweet. All of the wines that you will have at Pere Marquette are made on site with their own grapes. A truly unique experience. We left with a case of wine and already wish we had bought more.

Not to mention the owners were lovely people who grow their own grapes and produce all the wine on site. They also age their wines properly which contributes to the complexity and body you get. This is a must stop and now one of our...

Horse barn turned into a winery (clever/creative!!), just south of Ludington and Pere Marquette Lake. They are dog-friendly (if your dog is also friendly of course :)

Not your usual home-grown grapes neither; they have the driest reds (and white blends) I have come across in Michigan and I have been to ALOT of wineries all over the state. My palate was pleasantly surprised and I did not hesitate to buy a case of wine from them. I think they said they are new to this business and have alot of good things planned - up and coming - I am looking forward to going back! Their hospitality was very welcoming, very neighborly, and they were wine-knowledgeable!...
