Shady Lane Cellars is located on a historic 150-acre farm between Traverse City and Suttons Bay on the Leelanau Peninsula. With the knowledge that fine wine begins in the vineyard, owners Joe O’Donnell and Bill Stouten of Grand Rapids searched long and hard for the ideal location for their winery. Strategically situated to benefit from the meso climate created by Lake Michigan and Grand Traverse Bay, it is a prime vineyard site.

Motivated by a single-minded focus on quality, and with the expertise of winemaker Adam Satchwell, Shady Lane Cellars has consistently produced exceptional table and sparkling wines. Shady Lane Brut, a classic blend of Pinot Noir and Chardonnay, and Shady Lane Blanc de Blancs, 100% Chardonnay, have been awarded numerous gold medals. Shady Lane Cellars produces a delightful gold medal winning Sparkling Riesling as well. In addition to sparkling wines, they offer exceptional estate table wines including, Chardonnay, Riesling, Vignoles, and Pinot Noir and a variety of proprietary blends.

The staff at Shady Lane Cellars is happy to welcome the wine-loving public to their landmark historic fieldstone tasting room in Suttons Bay.
