L. Mawby Winery

L. Mawby Winery The first vines were planted here in the spring of 1973. The emphasis is on white table wines and methode champenoise sparkling wines, and most wines are made from our estate vineyards. The current annual production is just 2,400 cases, and the winemaking style remains pure -- barrel-fermented small lots made with only simple machinery and minimal handling.

Directions
Take M-22 north from Traverse City, approximately 8 miles. Turn west (left) on Hilltop Road, and go to the end. Turn north (right) on Elm Valley Road 1/2 mile to the top of the hill. Winery is on the right.
