Vineyard, Winery & Brewery Wedding Venues in Michigan

Michigan's wine country is concentrated where the Great Lakes moderate the weather: the Leelanau and Old Mission peninsulas near Traverse City, the Lake Michigan shore in the southwest, and pockets across the rest of the state. Add a growing number of craft distilleries and breweries, and there are plenty of places to marry among the vines or the barrels.

These are the winery, brewery and distillery venues in our directory.

Questions to ask a winery or brewery venue

Drink-focused venues often have their own rules about what you can serve. Ask:

  • Do you have to serve only their wine, beer or spirits? Can you add other drinks?
  • Is bar service and bartending included, or billed per guest or per hour?
  • Is the tasting room open to the public during your event, or is it a private buyout?
  • Where does the ceremony happen if it rains, and is the vineyard accessible for older guests?
  • Is harvest season (usually September and October) blocked off or priced differently?

Making it a weekend

Northern Michigan wine country is a vacation destination, so guests often turn a vineyard wedding into a long weekend. Book room blocks early for summer and fall dates, and consider a shuttle between lodging and the venue so nobody has to drive after the reception.
