🍇 Vineyards, Wines & Tastings

At the heart of Chateau Chantal is its estate vineyard, producing cool-climate varietals that thrive in the breezy, freshwater-kissed microclimate of Northern Michigan. Guests can savor award-winning wines in the tasting room or on the terrace, including:

• Riesling – Bright and fruit-forward, from dry to late harvest sweet.

• Pinot Grigio – Crisp, refreshing, and full of orchard fruit aromas.

• Pinot Noir – Elegant, silky, and well-balanced, a true northern gem.

• Chardonnay – Unoaked and oaked expressions, both highlighting the region’s minerality.

Winery tours, sunset wine dinners, and private tastings are available throughout the year, offering a chance to dive deeper into winemaking and viticulture in this unique terroir.
