Petoskey Wine Region

The 14 wineries that make up the Petoskey Wine Region are located in and around the greater Petoskey area, not far from Little Traverse Bay. They’re part of a larger Tip of the Mitt American Viticultural Area (AVA)— which encompasses 2,760-square miles throughout Alpena, Antrim, Charlevoix, Cheboygan, Emmet and Presque Isle counties in the northern Lower Peninsula. Established in August 2016, the Tip of the Mitt is the latest of five federally-recognized AVA’s in Michigan — the others include Old Mission Peninsula, Leelanau Peninsula, Fennville and Lake Michigan Shore.
