The wines of Michigan are without a doubt, impressive. But so are many of the wineries themselves. That in itself is a good reason to visit. Mari Vineyars is the type of winery you might expect to find in Italy or Napa. But Mari in on the Old Mission Peninsula in Traverse City and the winemaker is Sean O’Keefe. There was a lot of snow on the ground the day we met up with Sean so we headed to the cellar to the safety of barrels to chat about our favorite subject.

In order to become a well informed winemaker, schooling in wine and viticulture is a must. No pun intended. Mike Moyer is Director of Wine and Viticulture Technology at Lake Michigan College in Bentor Harbor, Michigan. The Michigan wine industry is growing fast and Mike’s program has people from all different backgrounds learning the finer points of wine. Lake Michigan College was the first stop on our Michigan Winery Tour. In order to be a wine educator, you need experience, and while Mike looks young, he has definitely been around the block. Pun intended.

You can contact Mike by emailing mmoyer@lakemichigancollege.edu
