In lieu of the single estate model, LFC is a collection of grape and apple growers located throughout Northern Michigan dedicated to growing fruit for our wine and cider. Located in the urban setting of the former Traverse City State Hospital campus known as The Village, LFC creates an array of balanced white wine, red wine and hard cider. Every bottle tells the story of the farm, the vintage and the winemaker's dream of sharing it all with you.

NEXT Friday, June 19th, is the start of the Red Drive Summer Concert Series with the Luke Wolktanski band! They’ll be setting the stage up on the Village Piazza across from our tasting room from 6-8pm.

The 4-5 man show pulls from the genres of R&B, Funk, Folk and Rock music to bring a high caliber, family-friendly music experience.

This is a free community event for all ages. Bring a blanket, grab some food and drinks from our fellow Village neighbors, and have a good time!

Join Sonya and Hannah for a send-off on Wednesday, 6/10 from 5:30-7pm in the Tasting Room 🥂 We’ll raise a glass to these amazing women before they move on to do BIG things! If you’ve been around here a while, you’ll know their friendly smiles and warm personalities. Hannah joined us in 2021 and has been back and forth between LFC and school while earning her MS in Biotechnology. She has a huge, tender heart for people and animals, an infectious enthusiasm, and a big, joyful laugh. Sonya has been with us since 2022. She’s truly one of the most interesting people we know - a fencer, a treasure hunter, a bassist, a long boarder… and soon to be a technician for underwater vehicles! We are very sad to see them go, but so proud and excited to see the big things they’ll do! We’ve been beyond lucky to have you both. Knock em dead out there, ladies! 🥂🩷

We ❤️ lesser known varieties and we don’t care who knows it!

Adam H. Callaghan from Food and Wine wrote an article diving deeper into some lesser known varietals winemakers are excited about from around the world. Adam spoke with resident sommelier and owner of Trattoria Stella, Amanda Danielson, about Blaufränkisch and its strong roots in Northern Michigan.

Being mentioned in the Blau-talk was an honor and we’re excited to continue making bright, fresh, food friendly Blaufränkisch for years to come!
