Fenn Valley Vineyards& Winery

Fenn Valley is a small third-generation family-owned vineyard and winery that was created out of a desire to grow premium wine grapes and make world-class wines. We chose to grow our wines in the cool maritime climate along the shore of Lake Michigan, where the vines would have to struggle

to ripen the grapes and the resulting wines would develop a pronounced varietal character. Our wines are truly, “The Lake Effect Everyone Loves.”
