Welcome to Bowers Harbor Vineyards

Rooted on Old Mission. Loved Everywhere.

Plan your visit.

Bowers Harbor Vineyards is a winery that embraces the beauty of Northern Michigan outdoors, with an open seat policy on the grounds that extend into and around the vines for a true vineyard experience.  With a large pavilion, many communal firepits, outdoor and indoor bar areas that are seasonally operated, there’s a place for all; rain, snow or shine.
Bowers Harbor Vineyards has a large variety of wines from dry to sweet sparkling’s and whites, dessert and port-style wines, a variety of red wines, cherry wines, and hard cider.
Bowers Harbor Vineyards offers wine by the glass and pre-selected flights. We only accept card payments, no cash, due to liability reasons of being an outdoor location.
Reservations are not required but are strongly recommended Friday-Sunday, as tables are weather-dependent; this will help ensure a dry spot to sit if it rains. (group size dependent).

Of course, we are a truly dog-friendly vineyard, so be sure to bring Fluffy with you!

Wine Library

Over his three decades in the wine industry, Spencer Stegenga, the proprietor of Bowers Harbor Vineyards, has visited many of the great wine regions of the world.  From the beginning, Spencer had the foresight to set aside cases of wine from each vintaged that warranted special attention.  The result is one of the largest (if not the largest!) wine library maintained by any northern Michigan winery. 

Spirit Cider

Along the hills and beaches on Old Mission Peninsula, there are as many orchards as vineyards. Nature gives us many gifts, with a time and season to enjoy each one.

Celebrate the heritage and harvest of Old Mission Peninsula. That’s the Spirit of Cider!
