Dablon Vineyards & Winery
111 W. Shawnee Road, Baroda, MI 49101
Our story began thousands of years ago when glaciers cut through and deposited rich minerals creating a hilly moraine in Baroda, Michigan. Today, we have 45 acres of estate-grown grapes planted on our 75 acre farm. The soils are ideal, and the climate conditions are similar to Burgundy and Bordeaux, France. With our location being atop one of the highest points in Baroda and benefiting from the moderating influence of Lake Michigan, our vines are protected from frosts and enjoy a long growing season. Unique to our hilly location, our terraced vineyard blocks are a beautiful sight to be seen with stone lined terraces providing a picturesque setting. Exceptional wine comes from exceptional grapes. We hand-plant each vine and hand-nurture our grapes. Our wine makers combine traditional methods with the latest technological equipment, crafting wines that are rich, vibrant, complex, elegant, and full of flavor. We are proud to be a Michigan winery and look forward to your visit!
