Chateau Grand Traverse is a 100% family-owned and operated winery, vineyard and inn. Established in 1974, we were pioneers in the first commercial planting of European grape varietals in northern Michigan. Our mission has always been to create regionally-expressive, classic-style wines while incorporating sustainable growing practices in our 120 acres of estate-owned vineyards plus 60 acres under contract. Our key varietals grown include: Riesling, Pinot Gris, Chardonnay, Gewürztraminer, Pinot Blanc, Grüner Veltliner, Merlot, Pinot Noir, Gamay Noir, Cabernet Franc and Pinot Meunier.
