Rove Winery at the Gallagher Estate

Rove Winery at the Gallagher Estate is a boutique winery located on the highest point of Leelanau. The little-known fact?
(1407)

"Every glass holds a story"

Little did they know, the adventure that Creighton and McKenzie Gallagher embarked upon—crafting a vineyard from their third generation, northern Michigan cherry farm—echoed the intrepid spirits of their Irish ancestors and uncovered a heritage long forgotten. Over three hundred years ago, thousands of Irish fled their native land and spread across the world in what h

as become widely known as the Flight of the Wild Geese. Many of the Wild Geese went on to become winemakers, establishing what are now some of the most renowned wineries in France, Australia, and the United States. Today, the few who know this piece of history refer to these forgotten Irish craftsman and their ancestors as the “WineGeese.”

The Gallaghers named their winery Rove Winery at the Gallagher Estate, paying homage to the unsung heroes who paved the way for winemakers today, to the generations of immigrants that tilled and shaped our lands, and to all those who dare to dream or sail uncharted seas. With this adventurous spirit in mind, the Gallaghers established not just the region’s highest standards in winemaking, but also its highest vineyard. Perched at an elevation of over 1100 feet, Rove Winery offers a perspective of the Leelanau countryside that’s rarely been appreciated, with stunning views previously hidden from even long-time locals. The year’s stormy weather, the type of grapes on the vine, the leathery hands of the workers that picked each one—these are the things that make up the story of every vintage. Just as every family has its story to tell, so does every glass of wine.

15 years ago, Creighton and I made a bet on this land, and on each other.

We were cherry farmers who'd never made wine. We had more hope than experience, more grit than grace. What we had most of all was this farm, and a wild feeling that it was meant to hold something more.

This season, we open the doors to Year 10 for Rove Winery. 🍷

There's something different about this one. The vines are older. The wine is better. And we've finally learned- after a decade of frost warnings, harvest miracles, and more than a few bottles shared around our family' dinner table, that what we're really growing here isn't grapes.

It's the kind of place people come back to. The kind of table where strangers become friends. The kind of story that started with two people standing in a field, believing in something they couldn't quite name yet.

Come find us on in the Leelanau Peninsula, this season. We've got wine, stories, and ten years of gratitude to pour.

Sláinte,

Creighton & McKenzie

Thank you to everyone who came out last night to help us celebrate our 10 year anniversary! We are grateful for our friends, family and this incredible community! We even got to hug and catch up with the person who bought our very first case of wine, on opening day. 🫶

Sitting on this grassy hill, listening to live , sipping on the best Chardonnay we have ever made and watching our miracle baby run around... it's hard to believe that life can be this good. We can't wait for whatever else God has planned for us on this crazy journey called life. Cheers to the next 10 yrs!
