About us
Northern Michigan's founding winery specializing in Riesling and other cool-climate vinifera wines. Proudly growing, producing and bottling award winning wine on sustainably farmed, family-owned vineyards since 1974. Chateau Grand Traverse at its core is a family-owned and operated winery with a colorful and proud winemaking tradition. As 2nd generation producers, we are afforded the opportunity to carry forward the winemaking vision and maverick spirit that our father set forth nearly 40 years ago. It’s quite humbling to recognize that our combined efforts, decisions making and personalities are reflected in each hand-crafted bottle we produce…yes, it’s personal! As growers of wine, we relish the fact that we are farmers first and make our living directly from the soil. As winemakers, we can express the fruit of our labors in a regionally unique wine product. As committed stewards of the land, we also recognize the importance of the environment and our responsibility to provide for future generations. It’s more than just a business, it’s a commitment and lifestyle that we proudly live. It’s been said that grapes like to grow where people like to live. The Old Mission Peninsula is one of those special places in this world that affords us incredible natural beauty, abundant water and the ideal conditions for producing world-class wines. This is the place we are lucky to make our livelihoods, bring up our families, and raise a glass in thanks.

1974. A dubious time in history which saw Nixon’s resignation, Ali vs Forman’s “Rumble in the Jungle,” ushered in a nationwide 55 mph highway speed limit and Barbara Streisand topping the Billboard Year-End Hot 100 singles. Also in 1974? Chateau Grand Traverse starting wine production in Northern Michigan. Foolhardy by some standards 50 years ago, CGT “pressed” on with its belief in the possibilities of the Northern Michigan landscape and now celebrates its golden anniversary. Ali boasted he was “King of the world,” but in the kingdom of Riesling, CGT reigns. Michigan’s ‘House of Riesling’ is responsible for +75% of the State of Michigan’s Riesling sales and +3% of total sales in the United States. 2024. A dubious time in history as the wine industry faces off with a Millennial and Gen Z audience turning from wine to the cheap and sweet of the RTD, Seltzer and flavor-house of the week in adult bev. Chateau Grand Traverse stands stalwart and committed to sharing its niche in micro-climate, varietal craft-wine making with the staunchest of skeptics, ready to savor the future with a bold blend of ambition and just a touch of sass. Celebrate 50 with us. But while we embrace this moment in our history, we have work to do as we prepare for 50 more. #wineindustry #winebusiness #UncorkYourNorth
