The Aurora Cellars Tasting Room

Our boutique winery and tasting room have the old-world charm our visitors love escaping to. We are lucky enough to have a vineyard in a stunning location right next to a farm. When you come to our estate, you’ll feel like you’ve been swept away to Napa or Sonoma. With Leelanau-grown grapes and an assortment of locally produced foods to complement our wine types, you’ll never want to leave our beautiful wine-tasting vineyard. Contact us to book your wine tasting today!

Private Igloo Reservations
If you thought our property was beautiful in the summer, you should see it in the winter! When it’s cold outside, our patio transforms into a winter wonderland. We have four private igloos where up to six guests can enjoy wine flights and glass pours. The private igloos are heated and available for rent for up to 90 minutes. Enjoy your own private bubble with the cozy, comfy couches. It’s a perfect way to relax and warm up after a brisk morning of snowshoeing on our groomed trails. Our igloos are quite popular so make your reservations now before this opportunity melts away!

Our tasting room is a place built for friends and family to gather and celebrate the beauty of life in one of Michigan’s most unique and dramatic properties. Come and enjoy the backdrop of rolling hills landscaped with rows of well-kept grape vines behind the exquisite tasting room.

Reservations are highly recommended on the weekends for wine tastings. Once you have finished your tasting, you may purchase another glass of wine and enjoy the property outside the tasting room.
