We love hearing from our visitors! โค๏ธ๐Ÿฅ‚

"One must take advantage of being in Michigans wine country. We stopped in for a few bottles of wine with friends (and also purchased a couple for home). They feature wine tasting, Parties, weddings and tours. This winery not only grows the grapes and produces the wine but it also bottles and ships. Staff was funny, engaging and friendly. Very nice wines, especially the reds blends which I had."

Our Story

Mackinaw Trail Winery is a family owned business that was founded in 2004, in Manistique, MI. Owned and operated by proprietors Ralph and Laurie Stabile, the business came into fruition when Ralph followed his lifelong dream of owning a winery.

One of Ralphโ€™s fondest memories as a child was pressing grapes with his Grandfather who was a Sicilian immigrant making the yearly supply of wine for him and his family. Ralph continued to make the wines until 2010 when his son Dustin took over all operations in the wine production facility. This continued the family heritage of making wine.

Dustin studied at Michigan State University in viticulture where he worked at Spartan Cellars, a facility that researches different methods of growing grapes and making wine. As one of the fastest growing wineries in the state of Michigan, Mackinaw Trail Winery was able to build a brand new state of the art facility in Petoskey, MI. This allowed the winery to continue its growth without sacrificing the quality of their products.

The winery sits on 30 acres of beautiful rolling hills just south of beautiful Petoskey, MI which is planted with 15 acres of grapes. In its first year at the new facility, Mackinaw Trail has taken over 50 medals and 6 best of class awards. In its Fifteen years of operation Mackinaw Trail continues to be one of the most awarded and recognized wineries in the state of Michigan.

With four tasting rooms in the state of Michigan, a large production facility, and the growing support from their loyal customers, Mackinaw Trail Winery is the โ€œNorth Starโ€ of the Michigan wine industry.
