Free Tasting With Rove Winery

We excited to welcome Jon from Rove Winery here in store for a little introduction to these lovely wines from the great up north! A family owned winery nestled in the heart of Michigan wine country these are new to the store but are an easy dip into some locally made wine.

"Though Rove Winery opened in 2016, the Gallagher Estate has been an integral part of the Traverse City region's agricultural history for over a century.

As a child, Creighton spent his summer days working on the cherry farm with his father and 9 siblings. After pursuing a degree in accounting, he left his cubicle to work at a winery on Old Mission Peninsula, developing a passion and craft for wine while returning to his roots. In 2010, he and McKenzie purchased a portion of the family farm including a block of cherry trees that needed to be replaced.

For a couple whose first date included wine-tasting and often dreamt of opening their own winery, the replacement crop was an obvious choice: grapes.

With McKenzie's background in business and marketing and Creighton's experience in farming and wine making, together they built their dream vineyard along with a beautiful family. "

We will be offering up free samples of a few of their delicious wines so you can stop in and learn a little and sip a little with another great Michigan made treat!
