Our Story
After years of visiting picturesque Leelanau County and enjoying its wonderful cool-climate wines, we started Boathouse Vineyards “from scratch” in 2009, building our Winery and planting 15 acres of grapevines on land 4 miles south of our Tasting Room at 115 St Mary’s Street in the Village of Lake Leelanau.
Our hope for all who visit is to create lasting memories of enjoying fine estate- grown wines at the water’s edge.
Our Estate Vineyard
Our 25 acre vineyard is situated high in the rolling hills of Leelanau Peninsula.
Our Mission
We are here to show that Northern Michigan can produce high quality red wines in addition to the superb white wines it is known for. Please come and see for yourself while relaxing at the water’s edge in the picturesque Village of Lake Leelanau.
