Founded in 1998, Black Star Farms has become a true one-of-a-kind destination nestled among the scenic rolling hills of the Leelanau Peninsula. The international acclaimed wines, luxurious Inn, decadent wine-paired culinary events, and unparalleled hospitality have become a unique way for wine lovers to retreat to the heart of Northern Michigan Wine Country.

2. Ciccone Winery (cicconevineyard.com)
Ciccone Winery is one of the first ten wineries in Leelanau Peninsula. This small, family-owned and operated vineyard planted their first grapes in the spring of 1996, and since then they have continued to grow fantastic Cabernet Franc, Chardonnay, Pinot Grigio, and Gewürztraminer. Did we mention that they are also the only winery east of the Mississippi to grow the Dolcetto grape. So good!

I had no idea Michigan was this serious about wine. Looks like a great weekend trip. It would be fun to do a tasting at each place.

The Ciccone winery is Madonna's fathers winery.

[@JennPreston]

Yeah, her step-mother was there all day. What a wonderful person. Really nice people and a beautiful place.

[@mishapatter9049]

@@JennPreston That's awesome to hear that she is gregarious and welcoming. I'll have to visit the winery one day in the near future.
