1301 | Blackstar Farms Winery | Suttons Bay | Under the Radar Michigan

And this time we headed back onto the mainland and then up M-22 on the Leelanau Peninsula to our final (and possibly most opulent) wine filled forage.

That’s right, this is Black Star Farms in Suttons Bay. It’s an absolutely beautiful award-winning winery & inn where you can even get married. It’s a definite destination for anyone looking for fine wine and elegant surroundings.

So once again, as my fellow students went on a tour and to wet their wine worn whistles, I literally went underground with mine maker extraordinaire Lee Lutes

Well, much to my surprise, after our comprehensive conversation, Lee offered me the chance to burp open a barrel and try a little wine ‘before’ it’s time.

I had been wanting to visit Black Star Farms for a long time, so I’m glad it’s finally off my bucket of wine list. It really is a beautiful reflection of the amazing wine country we have here in Michigan. And a great place to wind up our wine adventure.
