It’s officially Michigan Wine Month. Each year, Michiganders celebrate the numerous wineries around the state. Michigan is known as a grape-growing state. There are more than 13,000 vineyard acres in Michigan, and most of them contain juice-making grapes, such as Niagara and Concord. In fact, Michigan grows more Niagara than any other state in the country.
But let’s be honest, do we really need an excuse to take a trip to a winery? That being said, here’s a list of just some of the wineries in Michigan, all being relatively a short drive away from our home of West Michigan.
