Tasting Notes The LPVA wineries welcome you to the Leelanau Peninsula wine appellation, a world-renowned fruit-growing region that offers the greatest concentration of award-winning wineries in Michigan. Here are a few notes to improve your wine-tasting experience: Make a plan. Determine how many and which wineries you are going to visit. If you are new to wine tasting, let the wineries know, and they will assist you in choosing wines to try. Please enjoy your wine-tasting experience responsibly. Consider a designated driver or using one of the listed limo or bus services. Take your time, ask questions. Many of our wineries offer complimentary tasting to help you find wines to enjoy. Once you find those wines, purchase them to enjoy later when you return home. Wineries offer case discounts, so inquire. Not every wine is for everyone. If you find a wine that you don’t care for, simply pour it out and try something else. Don’t ruin the experience for others who might enjoy a wine that you may not. State of Michigan law limits the size of sampling pours and each winery has their own policies on the number of samples they offer. We have more than 100 wines; so don’t try to taste them all in one day. Spend a night or two at one of the accommodations listed and visit our wineries over a couple of days. Have fun! Remember wine tasting is fun and informative. Each tasting room has a knowledgeable and courteous team to assist you. Don’t be intimidated by the occasional wine “know-it-all” that may be next to you. Only you know the wine or wines for you. When you find wines you enjoy purchase them to take home for later enjoyment or to give as gifts. Ask to get on our mailing list. Share Your Photos If you’ve snapped some photos of the wineries and vineyards of the Leelanau Peninsula or while attending one of our Wine Trail Events, we’d love it if you’d share them with us.
