Michigan Wine Month is here, and local wineries are dusting off the shelves and seats as they prepare for a Memorial Day weekend kickoff and hopefully warmer temperatures.
“We believe that every month is Michigan Wine Month. Although May is a great month to kick it off because so many people are excited about spring and the warm weather, so it’s good to get them thinking about their summer plans ahead and hopefully coming to explore and discover all the delicious wines that we’ve continued to make,” Simpson Family Estates coowner Taylor Simpson said. “The best springtime wine depends on the person. We certainly have a lot of new releases, along with many wineries launching in April, May and June. A lot of people love rosés when it warms up. Although I drink rosé all year. Usually, reds aren’t released until about August, maybe September.”
Simpson Family Estates won several awards at the 2026 Texsom Awards wine competition, earning the coveted platinum medal, five golds, and three silvers.
