Big things are happening at Moonrise Winery: it’s our favorite time of the year! The bud break in the Moonrise Vineyard is here and SPECTACULAR!

The shoots are now 3 to 4 inches long and it's a wonderful time to take a walk in the vineyard. Please come and enjoy!

PLUS! This Friday will be our first Moonrise event for this year:

The Wood, Stock and Grill food truck will begin serving their many yummy foods starting at 5 PM.

And starting at 6 PM we will have a newcomer to the Moonrise main stage!

Kamrynn Weber is from South Haven and she's been playing piano from a very, very early age. She has an extensive repertoire of songs and is sure to delight all those who are here.

Our beloved 1953 Ford Jubilee tractor is now running and purring like a kitten thanks to the talents of Dave Marshke. That is really exciting!

There are a few flowers now in bloom in the Moonrise Garden including Catmint and Poppy's!

Oh, and we just received yesterday a big new shipment of our sparkly Wine shirts!

Could it possibly get any more exciting than all of these wonderful things?

We hope you'll be able to join us Friday night,
Moonrise Winery

📣 Important Update from Moonrise 📣

Since opening our doors eight years ago, we’ve proudly kept our prices the same—through changing seasons, bustling events, and countless glasses of wine shared with our wonderful guests.

However, rising costs in several areas have made it necessary for us to implement some modest price increases. These changes will go into effect starting August 1.

Thank you for your continued support and understanding. We’re so grateful to share this space and these moments with you.

🌙 The Moonrise Winery Team
